Xiao Min who participated in the German F+U Summer Enhancement Program for University Management Talents recalled that the Cultural Experience Week is what impresses her most, during which she visited several European countries to perceive the cultural differences between countries; the experience broadened her horizons and rendered her to see her own shortcomings.

The concluding speech was made by Deng Fengguang, the Director of Office of International Exchange & Cooperation. He stated that he deeply felt the confidence and calmness of every student who reported on the stage. The purpose for students going abroad involves growth as well as enhancement of self-confidence and ability. The students participating in the exchange program are able to not only learn the differences in customs, cultures and teaching methods between countries, but acquire different ways of learning. They will learn to be grateful and to cherish. Director Deng believes that if students improve themselves to a higher level and make a deep experience, their life will be endowed with thickness and their future will be different.
