Our research group finally took a group photo together under the emblem of our school, with everyone beaming with happiness. This photo not only serves as a testament to our work, but also a reflection of the strong bonds of friendship among us. Working in this united and friendly team brings us immeasurable happiness and fulfillment.
Happy new year! We went to a highly recommended self-service hotpot restaurant by the students of our school, and it was definitely worth it! We were all impressed by the delicious food at this restaurant. The ingredients were fresh and the taste was fantastic. After trying different flavors of hotpot, we all felt very full and satisfied.
The students went to try the food at this restaurant and it looked really appetizing. The dishes served at this restaurant were definitely tempting, and the students all expressed that it was a wonderful experience.
Today is Teachers' Day and the students gave flowers and gifts to several teachers to express their gratitude. To thank the students for their efforts, we went out together to enjoy some delicious food. This is a day full of gratitude and joy, and we believe that with everyone's hard work and dedication, the future will be even brighter.
Today, I happened to run into Shu's research group taking photos, and I was honored to join them. Working and learning with this team is a special experience, and I am grateful for their invitation and support.
Today, I played badminton with the students for the first time, and it was a lot of fun! We swung our rackets and hit the shuttlecock with all our might, enjoying the pleasure of sports together with laughter.
During the pandemic, everyone has faced difficulties, and we have had to hold group meetings online. Although we cannot meet in person, we are still able to communicate research progress, comfort and help each other through online meetings. In this special period, we have felt the strength and cohesion of the team even more. We face challenges together, support each other, and overcome difficulties together.
Another year has passed, and we happily gathered together for a meal. We ordered all the dishes from the restaurant, but still felt a little hungry, haha. Although the food couldn't fill our stomachs, this gathering filled our hearts. We enjoyed the delicious food together, shared our stories and experiences, and this was a very rare opportunity. We all felt very happy and satisfied.
Our laboratory has just started construction and although it's not fully developed, there are already some initial prototypes. We picked a place that wasn't too empty to take a group photo to commemorate this special occasion. Hehe, although the construction process may be challenging, we are full of confidence and enthusiasm. We believe that the laboratory will become better and better in the future, and we hope that this group photo will become a wonderful memory of our construction process.
