In order to provide all graduates with graduation lunch, the University made graduation meal coupon in advance. The meal service center offered multiple and multi-regional meals, and used the First Canteen and the first floor of the Second Canteen as the special venue for the graduation meal. With the meal coupon, graduates can eat a free meal with two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes as well as delicious fruits. The meat dishes included Sauté Diced Chicken with Assorted Vegetables, Hydrangea-shaped Meatballs, Fish Fillet in Golden Soup, etc... Set meals named Bright Future, Wish You All the Best, “A Great Hawk Spreads Its Wings”, “Carp Leaping over the Dragon Gate”, “Successful Career” and “Get Promoted” reflected the University’s best wishes and deep expectations, which perpetuated the good time of the graduation lunch and graduates’ memory.
The set meals were all over the moments, and many graduates left messages: “This is a very special graduation gift. I love BMU!” “I miss every single meal here. Having the ‘graduation lunch’ and listening to songs about saying farewell, I'm overwhelmed with emotion. This special graduation meal is the same as usual, but it is also different from usual. It reflects our feelings: the pride of ‘a wandering son’ returning home with success, the sadness of knowing youth will never return, and gratitude to suggestions and expectations of the alma mater. In this hot summer, we shed tears and sweat, and our youth was full of sadness and joy. I want to express my sincere gratitude to the teachers and the University for the cultivation over the past five years. At this moment of parting, I feel the heartfelt blessings and expectations in this warm meal. How reluctant I am to part with my teachers and my alma mater!” said by Zhan Yatao, a student majoring in Clinical Medicine of the Second School of Clinical Medicine.
