In the afternoon of April 20th, the crape myrtle tree donation ceremony was held. Mr. Song Heping, “king of crape myrtle” in China, donated to the Beijing Language and Culture University crape myrtle tree, whose action was a response to the national environmental optimization policy of reducing PM2.5 and an act of kindness to green the University campus. This garden of crape myrtle trees was named as the “International Crape Myrtle Garden”, to show the internationalization characteristic of BLCU and its alumnus spreading all over the world. President Cui Xiliang attended the event.
President Cui Xiliang issued the donation certificate to Mr. Song Heping and unveiled the event together with him. The guests attended jointly planted a crape myrtle tree named as the “World Peaceful Tree”. Student representatives studied in BLCU acted as “crape myrtle ambassador” and claimed their own crape myrtle tree that belonged to their own country, and the crape myrtle tree will be cared by the students from that country year by year. In order to highlight the teaching characteristics, enrich the campus culture, BLCU Education Foundation initiated and organized the trees adoption work, committing to building beautiful campus and beautiful China.
