Invitation to the Ministry of Education (MOE) Interflow Program 2015
Office of Academic Links (China) (OALC) has been coordinating with different parties and partner institutions to take forward the Ministry of Education (MOE) Interflow Program since it was launched in 2013. This program aims to support student experiential learning programs between the universities in Mainland China and Hong Kong. OALC has made announcement of the Program, inviting colleges and academic units to submit applications for projects to be undertaken in 2015.
A briefing session was held on 25 September 2014 with the purpose of updating CUHK colleagues on the relevant application procedures together with experience sharing in organizing the activities. In the first eight months of 2014, CUHK has conducted over 80 programs to Mainland China with participation of more than 1100 students. The Sunny Post of Wu Yee Sun College showed some student sharing while participating in this Interflow Program.

The largest city in China engages my interest in comparison on Hong Kong and Shanghai. What are in Shanghai exist in Hong Kong as well. Skyscrapers, convenient transportation network, streets soaking with prosperity are the examples. Yet Shanghai is more extensive, differing from the crowdedness in Hong Kong. It seems that "concrete jungle" emerges in our own city. I enjoyed the self-exploration at nights. In Suzhou, I, together with some teammates, spent time in Shan Tang Jie (a pedestrian street), where we felt its historical atmosphere. In Shanghai, we went to Nanjing East Road, where we experienced the prosperity of Shanghai. Regardless of specific time of assembly, we stayed at any places so long as we would like to.

I've never been on a long-distance train before. Sleeping on a three-leveled bunk bed was of course the first time ever. Luckily I was able to fall asleep not long after lights out. Somehow my memories of this trip have been made up of fun and crazy laughter. I don't know if I'll forever remember all the details of this trip, but I'll definitely never forget the kindness of everyone I've met and the fun I've had! (Tam Vanessa, participated in the 7th "Moonlet" Summer Program organized by Harbin Institute of Technology)
