Intl alumni express well wishes on 70th anniversary of ECNU

International alumni from 70 countries expressed their well wishes on the 70th anniversary of East China Normal University (ECNU).

Founded in Shanghai in 1951, ECNU is one of the most prestigious universities in China. As one of the first Chinese universities to carry out international Chinese education, it enjoys a leading position in this field.

"Happy 70th anniversary ECNU! Many generations of men and women have walked through you holding the spirit of achievement and responsibility, and left filled with beautiful memories, incredible stories of success, and lifelong friendships that they cherish every day. Thanks to you, I have learned and grown beyond my expectations. Without you, I wouldn't have been able to make my current personal and professional achievements. ECNU taught me how to celebrate differences and the true meaning of being a global citizen. Thank you for the extraordinary life lessons that made me who I am today. I am forever grateful."

"Seventy years of an incredible job, right? Congratulations ECNU! Even though I am a short term student, I already feel proud of this college. It has the best combination of education, organization and life enrichment. I can assure you that ECNU gave me one of the best times of my life. ECNU did not just teach me about language, but also about how amazing a country China is. Every online cultural lesson makes me feel like I am flying. This is a unique experience only ECNU provides! This is why ECNU is 70!"

"Between Chinese language courses, a bachelor's degree and a master's degree, I have been at ECNU for over 10 years of my life. The University has opened up many doors for me. I have always felt that the phrase "爱在华师大 (love at ECNU)" has a lot of meaning. Not only are you able to feel love and care from teachers and schoolmates but you may even be as lucky as I was to have run into the love of my life. There are many things to gain at ECNU - you just need to get involved and try new things!"
