After the whole process of epidemic prevention measures—checking Ankang Code (health QR code), Travel Code and Back-to-School Code, washing hands, changing masks, sterilizing luggage and taking temperatures, the freshmen were further guided by volunteers to sign up at the registration booths of different schools and institutes, collect materials for their new life and study and then to settle down in their own dormitories.

After exchanging greetings, they asked about how their journey was, their family conditions, and their future expectations. They urged them to strictly follow the local epidemic prevention measures, observe relevant requirements of the university for students, keep fit, and usher in a new university life happily and healthily.
