Chinese New Year Celebration
2025 marks the Year of the Snake. In Chinese culture, the snake (“巳”) symbolizes not only wisdom and agility but also growth and renewal.
On January 24, the CIS campus was filled with a festive atmosphere as students, teachers, and parents came together to celebrate the Chinese New Year under the theme "Sì Sì Qiú Xīn, Suì Suì Yōu Xué" (Innovation and Excellence Every Year).
Through a variety of engaging activities and culturally rich celebrations, everyone immersed themselves in a joyful and culturally vibrant festivity.
