The theme essay competition for international students in Beijing is a traditional exchange project of the Beijing People’s Association for Friendship with foreign Countries and has been successfully held for five times before. Since the establishment of this essay competition, our university has actively organized international students to sign up to participate, encouraging everyone to express what they have seen and heard in China through writing, tell a true, three-dimensional and comprehensive Chinese story in the eyes of international students coming to China, and spread Chinese culture and voice. Many international students in our university have won awards in previous essay competitions, and our university has also been awarded the Outstanding Organization Award many times.
