On the eve of the "customs rule of Law Publicity Day", Kunshan customs, affiliated to Nanjing Customs, invited 25 young reporters from Kunshan station of "little master newspaper" to visit the "Jiangsu Province Science Popularization Education Base" - Kunshan customs national biosafety education base, to create a good social atmosphere of law learning, law-abiding and law protection.

The young reporters listened carefully to the explanation of the customs officers on the biological invasion hazards, imitated biological sampling in the interactive experience area, and understood the biological safety knowledge of the country in a comprehensive way through the observation of samples under a microscope, AR experience, on-site experiments, interactive questions and other activities.

Throughout the visit, the young reporters were deeply touched and full of harvest. "It's the first time I've known how terrible the original biological invasion is. I've known many harmful organisms and learned a lot of identification skills. After I go back, I will introduce the importance of national security protection to my friends and work together as a national guard!" Little reporter Zhang Wenyan said.
