The Confucius Institute of JISU Celebrated Teacher’s Day in US with Gratitude
Sep 14, 2019 10:23 AM   Confucius Institute

“To respect teachers and value education,” is a fine tradition and virtue of the Chinese nation. On September 10th (American local time), to celebrate the 35th Teachers’ Day, the Confucius Institute of JISU launched a workshop with the theme of “Teachers’ Day” at New Jersey City University (NJCU). The atmosphere of this tradition quickly spreading to the American campus.

On the day of the event, organized by the Confucius Institute, more than forty finance majors from JISU, the first batch to study at NJCU , wrote their greetings in both Chinese and English on the hand-made cards and sent them to American teachers to extend their gratitude and respect. As the American teachers received greeting cards and blessings, which represented the wishes of Chinese students, they felt surprised because these cards showed both gratitude and affirmations to them.

The workshop also produced a publicity exhibition board, which introduced the origin and meaning of the Chinese Teachers’ Day in detail, and set up a teaching class where greeting card origami could be made on the spot. This enticed many American teachers and students. All of them creatively and personally made greeting cards for teachers, wrote blessings, and enjoyed the atmosphere of Chinese Teacher's Day.

This event brought a unique flavor to the American campus culture. James Konopack, Deputy Dean of the Business School of NJCU, was moved and said, “Thanks to the Confucius Institute for bringing us such a unique teacher festival, I am very happy to receive the festive blessings from my Chinese students! This has given me a deeper understanding of the Chinese culture, and lived a very extraordinary day!”
