This initiative was highly praised, with over a hundred portions sold within two hours.

The Dean of International Affairs, Mr. Wu Hsing-hao, led two team leaders, Mr. Pei Guangxiong and Ms. Hou Meidai, along with colleagues from the Office of International Affairs, to visit the booths to offer support and encouragement. They encouraged Vietnamese students to integrate and serve as bridges for Taiwan-Vietnam exchanges.

In addition to academic learning, efforts are made to assist in adapting to life.
