Students come from all over the world, it is not easy to come here to gather, today we are here to talk about the friendship between classmates, and talk about the affection after separation!
In the years since we separated, the students have gradually grown up and accumulated a wealth of life experience. The students are busy with their own studies and affairs, and they can't keep in touch often, but the relationship between us is not estranged, and the friendship between us is developed in our thoughts, and shines with brilliant and charming brilliance.
