In 2023, the Mid-Autumn Festival is followed by the National Holiday. UIC students had double joy during the dual festivals.
Chen Yihang is a first-year student of the Faculty of Business and Management, and she participated in the 929 Challenge, a startup competition, individually. By utilising resources provided by the organiser, she got more professional knowledge about international trade and Sino-Portuguese economic relations, and improved her ability to make plans and summarise.
