The volunteers divided the game into three steps: Hey (the initiator of the game puts his hands together and raises his head upward to let out a hey), Ha (the people on both sides of the initiator put their hands together to make a chopping motion to the initiator's abdomen and let out a ha at the same time), Roar (the initiator puts his hands together to point to the next initiator of the game and lets out a roar at the same time), the cycle of the three steps is repeated, and the one who stays behind at the end will be the winner. In the process of the game, children and international students reacted quickly and made quick judgments, and the atmosphere of the scene gradually became active. After a few rounds of competition, both sides quickly drew closer, warmly communicated, and devoted themselves to the subsequent activities.

International Students' Perceptions
Feedback of Foreign Students
Today, my friends and I participated in the activities organized by the Sino-German Brand Center Youth Volunteer Association and visited the Tu Youyou's former residence exhibition hall. The three exhibition halls allowed me to gradually understand Tu Youyou, a great person. I saw her great contribution to scientific research and was deeply touched by her tenacious spirit. The most impressive part of the teaching session was the canvas bag making. It was very interesting to complete the canvas bag making game with my volunteers, and in the process, I felt the warmth of the Chinese people, which also made me understand the meaning of interculturalism.
