(Yicai Global) July 1 -- Shanghai’s college leavers missed out on graduation ceremonies this year because of Covid-19, but an annual event to congratulate them on their success has gone ahead as scheduled at the Bund, the city’s famed riverfront promenade.

City-W.Com Bund Graduation Season is an event jointly organized by City-W.Com, Shanghai Jiaotong University, Shanghai Tongji University, and five other universities in the city. This year’s salutation, the seventh, kicked off on June 29.

Graduates snap the Citigroup tower as it flashes “I Love Jiaotong University.”

A group from Shanghai Normal University, with signs proclaiming “Youth Is Great” and “Hoist the Sales,” poses for photos.
