This is a journey back through history,
and even more, an invitation to the future.
The 13th Huashen Coffee Culture Festival
invites you to gather by the beautiful Liwa River.
This year’s Coffee Culture Festival will be held under the theme:
“Listening to Liwa River, Love at ECNU”.
Taking “Educators and Coffee” as its narrative thread,
the festival will explore the daily lives and refined tastes
of great educators in ECNU’s history,
building an immersive and interactive setting
for ideological and political education.
Through music, recitation, storytelling, and other artistic forms,
the event presents a unique “grand civic and cultural class”,
enhancing the sense of identity and belonging among students and faculty,
and continuing the cultural legacy of the Liwa River in the new era.
If you are interested in campus culture and stories of great educators,
if you want to hear more anecdotes from the “Corridor of Time”,
if you are a coffee enthusiast,
then you should not miss
this special class by the Liwa River.
