Mountains and sea as the stage, paying tribute to teachers; youth chasing dreams, opening a new journey. With a gentle evening breeze, the sound of rolling waves, and fireworks glowing over the coast, on the evening of September 10, the Nursing Industry College's 'Ride the Waves to the Fullest' Beach Music Festival and the 2026 Freshmen Military-Training Closing Concert unfolded brilliantly on the fluorescent coast of the Daheishi Campus. The gala was both the closing celebration of the 2026 freshmen's military training and, in the name of youth, a distinctive tribute to the 42nd Teachers' Day. Teachers and students of the college gathered on the beach for this romantic event belonging exclusively to the young students and their mentors.

Before the gala officially began, the college thoughtfully offered everyone present the season's 'first cup of milk tea,' its warm comfort dispelling the chill of the sea breeze.

Accompanied by a warm-up reel of military-training documentary footage, the gala officially opened with the energetic opening dance 'I Am the Reddest,' its crisp, dynamic moves instantly igniting the lively atmosphere.

Programs of every kind took the stage in turn, with rich and varied musical styles and dance forms, making for a brilliant show. The sweet, lingering 'A Smile That Overturns the City' gently voiced the feelings of youth; the solo 'Little Bird' sang of thoughts and reflections on the journey of growing up; the dance 'Lemonade' was agile and graceful, fully displaying the vitality of contemporary youth. 'The Thief of Time' and 'The Night I Miss You' were sung softly and low, slowly unfolding delicate and sincere youthful emotions; the guitar-accompanied 'At Least I Still Have You' had a gentle, moving melody that struck straight to the hearts of the audience.

A full-hearted 'My Good Brother' sang of the precious bond of standing side by side with classmates and advancing together through the military-training days. The unannounced surprise act, the errenzhuan (Northeast comic duet) 'Little New Year Visit,' was witty and amusing, drawing endless applause and laughter. The dance medley 'Infinite Manifesto,' with its driving rhythm, pushed the gala's energy to another climax.

The performance combining singing with a military boxing exhibition, 'On the Young China,' was majestic and powerful. The students of the 2026 freshmen's first brigade stood tall and struck with force, fully displaying the youthful spirit tempered by military training. Sophomores took the stage to sing 'Hollow,' passing the torch and offering sincere blessings to the new freshmen; the song 'The Direction of Light' rang out high and clear, singing of the young people's belief in chasing their ideals and pressing bravely forward.

The instructor team presented the exhibition 'Martial Glory, Military Youth,' with strong, crisp moves and full presence, showing the demeanor of soldiers and drawing wave after wave of cheers from the whole audience.

At the finale of the gala, all the student-management teachers and assistant counselors of the Nursing Industry College took the stage together to sing the classic 'The Sea.' Facing the vast blue sea, the melodious song echoed across the beach as the teachers conveyed, through song, their earnest expectations to all the freshmen. As the gala drew to a close, brilliant fireworks burst into the sky, their scattered light reflected on the sea's surface, permanently treasuring this night's moment of youth that belonged to no one else.

Thus, the eleven-day military training came to a perfect close. The sweat shed on the training ground, the fierce striving in fun competitions, the historical insight gained from the 'reading the city' study tour, and the laughter at the lawn concert — all turned into a precious opening mark in the 2026 freshmen's university life.

As military training ends, the young students' new chapter is only beginning. May the 2026 students of the Nursing Industry College pack the fortitude, the spirit of unity, and the burning enthusiasm tempered by military training into their luggage, carry the benevolent heart of a healer, strive diligently, and press forward — diligent in study and reflection, refining their skills on the path of learning, heading toward the vast mountains and seas that belong to them.
