On May 14, 2018, Justin Zhu organized a celebration party for Eastern Guangxi native graduates. Alumni and graduates sang and danced in the party and had a great time. This party matters a lot, as it not only demonstrated a spirit of alumi's being united and cooperated, but also presented to the society the passion and family love of Guangxi People. Such spirits are not only seen in the elderly, but being delivered to the younger generations. As the cooperated organization, GUAAA provided some supports for this party.
