On July 12, Liu Zexuan graduated from Tianjin Yaohua High School and received Tianjin University's first admission letter. It was signed and issued on site by Jin Donghan, president of the university, at a ceremony held on Tianjin University's Weijin Road campus, marking the beginning of the university's enrollment season.

Included within the admission letter package is a special gift the university prepared for all 2021 freshmen – a book titled Cultural Map of Tianjin. The book was launched at the same ceremony.

Edited by the university's Professor Feng Jicai, also a renowned writer and cultural scholar in China, and complied by the Feng Jicai Institute of Literature and Art, the book is a pocket-sized cultural guide and map to Tianjin. It presents a general introduction to Tianjin, the Northern port city with a rich history and culture, from the aspects of natural wonders, cultural relics, folk customs, local scenery, Western-style buildings, celebrities, art museums and so on.

"To know and get connected with the city where you go to college will provide you with more city experiences and cultural experiences that are indispensable to your life. It not only opens your eyes to the outside world and enriches your life and interests, but also helps shape the noblest spirit of humans, that is, the sense of social responsibility," said Feng at the launch ceremony of the new book. It is his sincere wish and anticipation that college students all over the country will love the city that they go to college in.

President Jin Donghan compared the book to "a golden key" that unlocks Tianjin's culture. He believes that it will help students quickly get acquainted with the local life and culture, which constitute an important part of the university’s charm.

Apart from the book, Tianjin University's admission letter package also contains a school emblem, a hand-painted campus map and an admission manual.
