Around Fudan University, you could see lots of construction works going on, building of the central highway in Shanghai, that passes through Handan Road, at which where Fudan University was located. Everyday, students crossed the roads in order to reach their classrooms. Whether it was raining or shiny, it was a real hassale. Students wearing masks was a common sight then. However, students took it easy and everything pass as smoothly as the University's Centennial Celebration.

The constructions are over, but we can still see that Shanghai will always be in an ever changing state, in which one construction ends awaiting another to be complete.
