2019 International Women’s Day Fitness Activity at TJU

On March 6, in order to celebrate the 109th International Women’s Day, TJU held a fitness activity for the entire female faculty.

The activity received enthusiastic response from the female faculty throughout the whole university. Coming together from 32 college-level trade unions, nearly 1,000 female faculty participated in this activity. Zhao Meirong, Deputy Secretary of Party Committee at TJU and Chairman of TJU Trade Unions, attended the activity and gave her speech.

In an effort to demonstrate solidarity and good spirits, the female faculty of nearly 1,000 formed the word “WOMEN” together, a play on both the English word and Chinese “WO MEN” which means “us”, sending a special message and blessing for International Women’s Day. This year also witnesses the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China. A more prosperous China enhances the people’s sense of gain, happiness and security. Therefore, to celebrate the anniversary as well as to show their love to the motherland, female teachers also formed the words “天大Loves中国”(TJU loves China) on the stadium with a “70” in the center. All faculty members waved the national flags and shouted “TJU loves China”. The shouts echoing in the stadium seemed to tell everyone that TJU female faculty members are prepared and eager to assume their responsibilities, pursue their dreams and fulfill their duties, garner achievements in this new era and celebrate the country’s 70th anniversary with continuous progress.

Before concluding the event, the female faculty members who participated in the activities went for a brisk walk around the stadium to actively respond to the call for more physical exercise for a happier and healthier life.
