On September 26, 2025, thirty-eight students from The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) visited the campus of CUHK (Shenzhen) (CUHK (SZ)) to participate in its annual Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. The event brought together students from both campuses to celebrate the traditional festival.
The event was jointly organised by the Office of Student Affairs and the Student Union of CUHK (SZ). CUHK (SZ) students warmly welcomed our students and led them through a Festive Fair, where they enjoyed traditional performances such as the lion dance, and engaged in classic Mid-Autumn activities like lantern riddles, immersing themselves in rich cultural traditions.
Following the fair, students from both campuses gathered for the highlight of the evening - the Mid-Autumn Festival Gala. The event attracted over 3,000 CUHK (SZ) students and featured a variety of vibrant performances. A standout moment was a joint musical and dance performance. Six students from CUHK first gave a heartfelt performance of Cantonese pop songs. They were later joined on stage by students from both cities, singing and dancing together. With a shared spirit of "Two Campuses, One Heart," they beautifully expressed the warmth of reunion under the moonlight, showcasing the deep friendship between the two universities.
Ricky Chan, a history student from CUHK who performed in the gala, shared:
“I was honoured to participate in the grand Mid-Autumn Festival gala at CUHK (SZ), performing alongside their students. I’m grateful to CUHK for this precious opportunity, allowing me to enjoy the applause from so many audience members. It was truly an unforgettable memory.
