Thousands of freshmen start military training

For college freshmen, the new school year means the start of military training!

About 9,000 freshmen from the three campuses of Wuhan University of Technology started their military training on Monday in Wuhan city, capital of central China's Hubei province.

A total of 7,000 students dressed up in military uniforms and formed lineups based on their majors and colleges, crowding a square on the Nanhu Campus of the university.

Every year, when new school semester kicks off, millions of Chinese students will undergo two weeks of compulsory military training as they begin their new lives in high schools or colleges.
