Today is the day when the new students of Shanghai Maritime University start school. With longing and curiosity, nearly 4,000 post-00s "Mengxin" rushed from all over the world to a new future. The division commanders gave the new students a cute name: little dolphins. The youngest "little dolphin" who reported today is only 14 years old, and 6 "little dolphins" have ushered in their coming-of-age ceremony.
It must be a special fate that makes everyone become classmates along the way. The sudden downpour did not extinguish everyone's enthusiasm for study. Principal Lu Jing specially rushed to the lingang avenue subway station of Line 16 to greet the new students. At the check-in site, there are also some warm stories.

Pave a smooth path for you to study
Xiao Zhao is a 2021 undergraduate freshman in the Department of Electronics, School of Information Engineering, Shanghai Maritime University, and studied at the Western Suburbs School of Shanghai in high school. Unfortunately, he suffered a car accident in 2018, resulting in multiple fractures, severe spinal cord injury, paraplegia below T3, and was identified as a first-degree limb disability. After this, Xiao Zhao was unable to stand and walk as before, which brought a heavy blow to himself and even his entire family.
This is a strong lad! After a year of treatment and rehabilitation, Xiao Zhao overcame his physical inconvenience and returned to campus. After returning to school, he worked harder than ever, and was finally admitted to Shanghai Maritime University, and at the same time, he was admitted to his favorite major - electronic information.
After learning about the special situation of Xiao Zhao, in order to make his ivory tower study path smoother, the school and college special offices made a good connection with the students themselves and parents in advance. The school agreed to his special requirements for solitary accommodation and parents' accompaniment, and the Student Affairs Department arranged for Xiao Zhao to have an independent bathroom on the first floor of the graduate dormitory. This dormitory has also been carefully arranged by counselors and volunteers - anti-collision strips have been posted on the stairs, bedsides and other easy bumps, and everyone has written postcards of blessings for Xiao Zhao. Several postcards and thousands of paper cranes are strung together on a rope, representing the welcome and blessing of his classmates and teachers.

The class originally had two classes on the fifth floor, but the school elevator only reached the fourth floor. Sun Dong, deputy secretary of the party committee of the college, and Zhao Dan, a counselor, hurriedly contacted the Academic Affairs Office and changed the location of the class. "After the start of the school, we will set up a volunteer team to help Xiao Zhao adapt to university life as soon as possible, and many of his friends have actively raised their hands to register!" Zhao Dan told reporters.
Today, with the help of teachers and volunteers, Xiao Zhao successfully completed the registration process. The young man seemed very excited and kept learning everything about the new school from the senior. "I've loved computers since I was a kid, and I chose telecommunications because it's a computer-related major, and I think it's cool to learn computers."
Not only out of interest, Xiao Zhao said that he chose this major is also the development speed and prospects of Lingang New Area, in recent years, many high-tech enterprises have settled in the new area, and there is a great demand for talents in electronic information professionals.
"Uncle Water Delivery" Expands "New Business"
Shanghai Maritime University has a star water delivery worker Huang Shuguang, and students affectionately call him "Uncle Water Delivery". This is a simple middle-aged man who has been working in an ordinary position in school for 14 years. Every year, when new students report in and graduates leave the school, he helps students to refute Li for free; he is a kind person, who has sponsored 8 poor students in the past few years, 3 of whom are still studying; he is also the initiator of the school's love book house, supporting book recycling, advocating "books spread friendship, love all over the campus".

This morning, a familiar figure with a caring motorcade once again appeared on time at the school gate. The campus of Shanghai Maritime University, located in Lingang, is large, and the dormitories are nearly ten minutes' drive from the entrance. Under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control, many of the "Mengxin" came to the school alone to report, and it was very inconvenient to report to the school in large bags and small bags. Although the school arranged a short shuttle bus, it was still slightly nervous during the rush hour. "Uncle Water Delivery" took the initiative to use his own water truck to help students transport luggage, and this year's love team has expanded to 13 vehicles, and student volunteers have joined.
During the summer vacation, Huang Shuguang led the volunteers of the Love Bookstore to screen outdated books, and "turned waste into treasure" was replaced by hundreds of bottles of mineral water, sending some coolness to the sweaty new students. He also deliberately contacted the graduating students and the relevant institutions of the school, and summarized and sorted out several large boxes of grade 4 and 6 word books, which were distributed free of charge when new students entered the school.
Uniform blue volunteer costumes, water trucks with the logo of "Freshman Volunteer Service Vehicle" and students who send water books have become a beautiful landscape on campus. "Before I reported for duty, I heard the story of 'Uncle Water Delivery' from the counselor, and I didn't expect to meet it at school today. He welcomed me to the beautiful Lingang and told me to study hard and made me very warm. Standing at the door of the dormitory building, Xiao Li, a freshman at the Merchant Marine College, waved his hand at Huang Shuguang and said excitedly.
The reporter learned that in order to create a safe, warm and orderly registration environment for new students, the relevant functional departments and departments of Shanghai Maritime University and various colleges deployed in advance and cooperated to ensure that the welcome work was smooth and orderly, and the epidemic prevention and control was solid and effective. New students will be checked in 14 days before registration, and upload the itinerary code, health code and other proofs to apply for admission to the school online.
