Canteens such as Xue Yuan, Jiao Ziyuan, Nan Yuan and Jin Xiu have been serving normally, and other canteens will be open for meals in succession.

The library is now open, and all the rooms have been disinfected. Meanwhile, book disinfectors and 24-hour self-service book returning machines are added to facilitate the borrowing and learning of teachers and students.
