“The will of spring and the warm currents are gradually driving away the cold winter.” - By Gide.
“The shrubs and trees herald the coming of the spring.” The rain in March awakens the vitality of the entire winter, and the drizzle brings a fresh fragrance from the growing plants and trees. This March, we grow along with the spring buds on the willow branches and embrace the spring breeze with open arms. The 24thsession project of Esther Hall, “Growth of All Things” of“SHE · Power” , has received positive response and participation from teachers and students since its launch. In this spring breeze, in the month of growth of all things, we grow together with everything and welcome a better self.

On March 8th, to celebrate International Women's Day, Professor Jiang Hong of Shantou University held a lecture in the library lecture hall and had a deep discussion with teachers and students about the responsibility and role of women in the post-pandemic era.
Secretary Jiang Hong connects with the background of the times and points out the hot issues of women's development in today's society. Each issue is like a thorny road laid out before women, and the path of development coexists with courage and challenges.

From the first time they jumped up and high-fived each other, to presenting a complete story with perfect coordination, students listened to each other’s stories and worked together to reproduce them. By telling their own stories, they are actually reconciled with the past through the performance.

The story brought by the students finally put a full stop to the theater class, they hugged each other and said goodbye with laughter. Their story may have ended, but they are still on the journey of life and growth.

Brass Gong Healing Workshop
In the warm spring breeze, Esther Hall specially invited Ms. Longyi to Shantou University, bringing the female students a journey of cleansing their souls with the healing power of brass gong.
Ms. Longyi uses the frequency vibration of the brass gong to penetrate into the students’ inner hearts, and the warm and ethereal sound of wind chimes to find the emotions suppressed deep within them. The unique sound of the brass gong reaches the heart of each student, like a ripple of calmness and also like the roar of mountains shaking.
After the healing of the brass gong, the teacher led everyone in a sharing of insights. The students actively shared their different feelings, either through writing or drawing, expressing their inner voices and emotions. Many students said that their internal pressure was relieved and their minds became calm.
