On October 11, 15 teachers and students from Schule Schloss Salem (Germany) arrived at THUHS to begin a 10-day cross-national school exchange journey. This exchange not only continued the deep friendship between the two schools but also served as a warm response to THUHS's visit to Germany earlier this year. Principal Fang Yan and Deputy Party Secretary Zhang Jie attended the event. The Sino-German exchange provided a valuable opportunity to explore and develop innovative models for cultivating "cross-cultural" talents.
