Spring Equinox Meets Happiness, TJU Faculty and Students Celebrate a Beautiful Spring Together

On March 20, the launching ceremony of Tianjin University's "Unleash the Spring · Recharge Your Vitality" Mental Health Education Series for March 25, together with the themed activity for the International Day of Happiness (March 20), was held simultaneously at both the Peiyangyuan and Weijin Road campuses. Hosted jointly by the Mental Health Center of Tianjin University, the Institute of Applied Psychology, and the teaching team of the Happiness Studies course, this event used fresh flowers and fun games to bring people together. It aimed to let all faculty and students encounter beauty and feel happiness on campus, and also marked the warm beginning of this year's "Heartfelt Four Seasons · Happy Peiyang" series of activities.

Coinciding with the Spring Equinox, the air was filled with the vibrant vitality of spring. The happiness-themed "TJU" backdrop decorated with fresh flowers was full of life. On-site interactive sessions included "Flower Gifting", "Pitch-Pot Challenge" and "Check-in & Souvenir Photos". Participants could write down their wishes on the display boards, receive fresh flowers, and take part in this elegant and interesting activity. The event lasted for about an hour, attracting nearly 1,000 faculty and students to join. They immersed themselves in the floral fragrance together, embraced happiness, shared it and passed it on, jointly creating a campus atmosphere full of a sense of happiness.

First held in 2023, the flower gifting activity has made the "Happiness on March 20" event a cherished annual spring rendezvous for all TJU faculty and students over the past four years, turning happiness into a tangible experience that can be held in the palm of one's hand.
