Universities throughout China are planning to hold a variety of events to celebrate the Spring Festival, or Chinese New Year, for students who cannot go home and stay with family during the holiday due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Sunday, the Chinese Ministry of Education announced that the number of students staying on campus for Spring Festival 2021 will be quadruple that of previous years and urged universities to provide service and care for these students to ensure they can still have a warm and enjoyable holiday even if they cannot be with their families, according to a report from the Xinhua News Agency.
