"On behalf of the organizer, I’d like to thank all the CCSA board directors and volunteers. It is their sincere cooperation that makes this first offline event happening here after the COVID-19 pandemic. From offline to online, from online back to offline and online worldwide interaction is not a simple cycle, but It's spiraling.
