The morning light is soft, the dew glistens, and youthful steps are full of vigor. With aspirations as bright as e rising sun, Dalian University of Foreign Languages (DUFL) welcomes the arrival of the Class of 2025. A total of 3,999 new DUFLers have gathered here from near and far, embarking on their dreams in the gentle breeze of early autumn. From this moment on, they begin a splendid new chapter with DUFL.

The university president and party secretary personally greeted the new students and their parents. They warmly chatted with the families, discussed the future with the newcomers, took photos together, and offered sincere blessings and encouragement to the students.

The campus is brimming with a fresh atmosphere, where every spark of excitement and every touch of brightness carries a welcoming message. The university’s Youth League Committee assembled a team of nearly 100 faculty and student volunteers who stood ready at ports such as Dalian Station, Dalian North Station, and the airport, providing point-to-point support for new students throughout the day. The university efficiently utilized a real-time registration system, with each college scanning and updating the arrival information of new students on large screens during check-in. The volunteers, well-prepared as the campus’s "living maps," offered the unique warmth and guidance that define the DUFL spirit to those stepping into the university for the first time.

Gathering from all corners, meeting at DUFL—congratulations to the new students on crossing this new milestone. This is a warm home, a harbor for dreams. As youth sets sail on a new journey and the young strive toward boundless horizons, DUFL will forge ahead alongside everyone, writing a new chapter in life together.
