Hibrizi Zidane Syah, an international student from Indonesia, shared that this was his first time planting trees since arriving in China. Adding new greenery alongside teachers and classmates gave him a deeper understanding of what it means to protect the Earth, our common home.

A student from Xinjiang also expressed his joy at planting trees with teachers and classmates. Everyone worked together like family, united in efforts to protect the beautiful environment and build the youthful dreams together.

The Changsha Social Work College has long integrated ecological civilization education into its entire educational process, guiding faculty and students to practice green and low-carbon lifestyles.
