Today is October 8th，
Happy Birthday to our beloved NPU!
Through decades, our alma mater has traversed the long river of history, staying true to its original aspiration to serve the country, breathing in sync with the times, and sharing the destiny of the nation. Every subtle change on campus reflects the development and achievements of NPU over the past 86 years.
Let's travel through time and space, and take a look at the "growth marks" of NPU.
Youyi Campus
This campus holds the most memories for our alumni
The familiar phoenix trees remain lush year after year
The old teaching buildings have taken on new looks
But stepping into the same classrooms
The pioneering spirit and the relentless pursuit of knowledge
Still inspires us today.
