The Chinese International Student Association was established last year, mainly comprised of graduate students. With 163 members as of today, their purpose is to encourage international students to better become acquainted and help one another.

The Lunar New Year Party held on February 6th was one of their activities, hosted by the student association. The Lunar New Year (also called the Chinese New Year) is the most celebrated traditional holiday in China, where families get together and celebrate the new year. The party was held this year for students who were not able to fly back home due to the coronavirus pandemic. It became their first online event, allowing those students currently residing in China and not able to enter Japan yet to participate as well.

The online party was a success, entertaining the participants with a variety of events including musical performances that used traditional instruments such as the Chinese Harp, martial arts, dance, quizzes, and making poetry. The Tianjin Song and Dance Troupe’s renowned dancer Chéng, who has also offered training sessions at KUFS in the past, performed some amazing dance and vocal performances with his fellow singers.
