Tongji University’s 98th anniversary was on Friday 19th May. There was a concert that night on the football playground.
The concert was to celebrate the anniversary and also because there was a big batch of students graduating from Tongji.

I couldn’t switch on my camera at first. I don’t know why it was like that. So I just sat there and enjoyed the concert. It was only when the concert was ending that I could switch it on. Just in time to take pics of the last few fireworks. I haven’t been able to take pics of the nicest ones. :(

Seeing all those people perform on stage makes me miss high school a lot.
I miss performing on stage.
The last time I danced on stage was for the Prize Giving ceremony & concert at my friends’ school. Seems so far away now. :cry:

    I thought for a moment that was a boxing ring. Like the ones you see at Madison Square on tv. And taking good photos of fireworks without a tripod is pretty hard IMO. Hard to take good shots. The Chinese here in Shanghai love their fireworks a lot don’t they?

    hehe yeah they love fireworks. My teacher said that in China you cannot set off fireworks or firecrackers at any time you want. Only on certain occasions . I’ve only seen firecrackers for sale around Chinese New Year.

    :mrgreen: Actually they just set a few off this morning again. Hehe…I swear nearly every week I see someone set off big ass fireworks (like the one u photographed) or firecrackers (the red strips) anywhere you can imagine. Below my apartment, in the middle of the street…etc etc

    Those fireworks look lovely. Normally, we seldom have events this grand for university anniversaries in Singapore. Yours seems interesting. :)

    Wow, that all looks amazing. My university is over 160 years and we never celebrate our anniversary like yours does. :cheers:
