I went to Qingdao for our regular event and then it’s  second to last event of this campaign. We invited a celebrity named Henry he has lots of fans, he’s a singer and he can play violin. For me because this event format is similar as previous ones so it’s lack of freshness to me. Also, I watched a movie in a cinema, named Nezha, it was a quite inspiring movie but my boyfriend don’t like this kind of movie, so I went to see this movie by myself.
