The Veterans Affairs Council of Nantou County (南投縣榮民服務處) has strengthened the care and service for retired officers and soldiers (family members), veteran students and new immigrants to adapt to their lives, so that they can still feel the autumn festival atmosphere and social care during the epidemic, and encourage the students to study hard, to be grateful, and to enjoy a warm and peaceful holiday. The Mid-Autumn Festival New Residents’ Life Adaptation Counseling and Happy Family Recognition and Meet Activities were held in the auditorium.
