Professor Gou Xinwen, the chairman of the school's labor union, said that the lotus root picking contest was held to enrich the lives of faculty and students and let teachers and students feel the fun of this process. The contest has been held for seven years in a row, and the participation rate is very high every year.
There are 6 teams from Chinese painting department, oil painting department, printmaking department and sculpture department/kloc-0. Each team has six players. One hour is limited, and whoever picks the most lotus roots will win. The collected lotus roots need not be returned to the school, and whoever picks them will return. In order to avoid potential safety hazards, the competition also made it clear that students can't take lotus roots back to the dormitory to eat. ?
Professor Gou Xinwen said in his speech before the game that a large number of excellent works of teachers and students were born around this lotus pond in Sichuan and America, and the lotus root picking contest is the embodiment of the school's active life and full appreciation of a better life. "Although the annual Lotus Root Picking Festival was finally interpreted as a mud war, students who have graduated from school in Chuanmei often mentioned that the Lotus Root Picking Competition is their best memory on this campus."
This activity also hopes that students will leave a deep memory through participation. ?
