CHONGQING (CQNEWS) -- It's the graduation season now. From May 11th, an exhibition called “Recall & Memories” hosted by Southwest University presents a special graduation gift for all teachers and students in this university. “Memories” collected in the past 2 years are exhibited off line.

“Many common collections but collected carefully are for reserving a certain memory rather than for increasing its value.” Zhang Xiaoliang, a student from Grade 2014, College of Engineering and Technology, as well as the founder of the “Memory Store”, introduced his original intention.
