At the meeting, Mr. Zheng Feihu invited each doctoral student to introduce their personal study and academic progress, and also asked each student to talk about their feelings of online teaching. Students praised the quality of the online courses, but expressed a desire to resume offline teaching and receive face-to-face guidance from teachers.
