Beijing University of Chemical Technology has released the most unusual letters of admission to study (2 photos + 1 video)
Netizens have been actively sharing videos of themselves using their admission forms to cut melons, chop up chunks of meat, and even hold them over an open flame.
This year, Beijing University of Chemical Technology (BUCT) printed its admission forms for first-year students on an innovative carbon fiber material that is only 0.2 millimeters thick but as sharp and durable as a knife. According to applicants, it can be used to cut vegetables and fruits, as well as make minced meat.
University admission letters are usually hidden in a closet after applicants find out they've been accepted. However, freshmen at Beijing University of Chemical Technology can use their "chain letters" as a multi-functional tool in their daily lives.
Young people have started sharing videos of themselves using their admission documents to cut up a watermelon, shred meat, and even hold them over an open flame to prove they won't burn or melt.
After several of these videos went viral, a representative from the Chinese university came forward to explain that the current invitations were made from an innovative material developed by their scientists.
"The carbon fiber introductory sheet is a testament to our university's exceptional capabilities in carbon fiber composite materials, and also marks its transition from high-tech industrial use to everyday use," said Yang Xiaoping, a professor at BUCT's College of Materials Science and Engineering.
