In an effort to enhance community convenience and services, the SCMU, in collaboration with various local departments and organizations, successfully organized the “Unity and Collaboration, Building Happiness Together” New Year’s shopping festival on the morning of December 28th. This initiative was in line with the service goals set by the Hongshan District Committee and District Government.
The festival, held at the heart of the community, featured an array of engaging activities designed to cater to the residents’ needs and interests. At the entrance, residents were welcomed with interactive trivia games, where correctly answering questions on themes like core values and national unity earned them charming gifts. This not only entertained but also educated the participants in a light-hearted manner.

Adding a cultural touch, retired teachers contributed by writing couplets and distributing “Fortune” characters, infusing the event with traditional New Year blessings.
