At the same time, around the courtyard, the designer also designed and built three sculptures, one of which was called "Shout", and several young students were shouting slogans, reflecting the intellectuals' worries and shouts about the future and destiny of the country at that time. Another sculpture is called "Migration", and several students and teachers carry their bags together. At that time, the situation that teachers and students were forced to move was clearly displayed.
