On April 7, 2019, the third day of the third month of the Chinese lunar calendar, a group of international students from Russia, Bangladesh, Pakistan and Uganda currently studying at the Jiangsu University of Science and Technology visited the Fengcheshan community on Jinshan Street in Zhenjiang in traditional Chinese dress. Joining local children in celebration of Chinese National Costume Day, they recited the Trimetric Classic, one of the Chinese classic texts for children, and learned how to embroider traditional pouches and perform ancient rituals.
