• Stay committed and study hard: Remain true to your aspirations, be diligent and pragmatic, actively participate in practical research and academic exchanges, and cherish the opportunity for multicultural integration.

• Experience deeply and build friendships: Step off campus, integrate into daily life, feel the profound heritage of Zibo City and the charm of Chinese culture, bring your experiences and sincere friendship back to your home countries, and build bridges of understanding between China and the world.

• Abide by rules and ensure safety: Keep safety awareness at the forefront of your studies and life, strictly abide by regulations, and ensure a safe and smooth academic journey in China.

Captain Tang Shouli focused on the Exit and Entry Administration Law of the People's Republic of China. Combining typical real-life cases, he elaborated on core topics such as temporary accommodation registration, document management, visa extension, and online risks for international students. He emphasized the legal liabilities concerning illegal residence, illegal employment, and unauthorized work. He reminded the freshmen to properly keep important documents such as passports, complete relevant procedures in a timely manner in accordance with regulations, and strictly abide by Chinese laws and regulations.

Officer Chen Xiaoguang adopted a lecture style of "Policy Interpretation + Case Warnings" to intuitively explain China's road traffic rules. He focused on disseminating safety knowledge regarding pedestrian rules, electric bicycle riding, and the dangers of drunk driving, guiding international students to establish the concept of "Safety First, Civilized Travel".
