Increasing international confidence

Many students may think that the stage of students' works on the international footwear exhibition will be great, but this is not the first time that professional students have appeared on the stage of the international footwear industry. Even students' works are only a small part of teachers' daily teaching content, or even one of the usual project courses, not a major project.
