<p><font face="Arial">National Taiwan Normal University (NTNU) and Lung-chiuan Neighborhood tried to pass on the spirit of love and hope while the Christmas carnival activity “Light Up the Light” was launched at the Complex Building this evening.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">"People call us a conservative school. Today, we make a twist here by stepping out, showing our love toward the community during the holiday season,” said Gou Yih-shun (郭義雄), NTNU president.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Gou made his remarks during the grand opening ceremony of the activity, which was participated by Legislative Speaker Wang Jin-pyng (王金平), who is a political heavyweight and also a NTNU alumnus.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">NTNU Office of University Relations said that NTNU students and local residents in the neighborhood have come up with a lot of fresh ideas to decorate the community and develop Christmas atmosphere, while delicious food, Christmas-related music and scene can be experienced by walking through the Shida Rd. In addition, NTNU also encouraged its international students to come up with various talent shows on the campus, while loving, sharing and giving would be the spirit for the holiday season.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Yu Shing-hua (余星華), head of the Da-an District, was very pleased by what she saw.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">"This is truly something different that was achieved by NTNU and local community,” she said. “This carnival gave us something different for the holidays. Not cookies or candies but the spirit of love and hope.”</font></p>
