Celebrities help promote new center

The newly opened community culture center in the Jiangning Road Subdistrict is drawing some celebrities to its roster of activities.

Five local notables have signed agreements to give lectures, share personal stories and talk to residents at the center.

They include 94-year-old orchestra conductor Cao Peng, who is dedicated to helping children with autism through music education, and 89-year-old Cheng Bushi, deputy designer of the Y10, China’s first commercial jet.

According to subdistrict officials, more celebrities will be invited in the future.

The center at 10 Changping Road features an exhibition hall, DIY workshop, rehearsal hall and theater. A hall on the first floor is currently holding an exhibition showcasing subdistrict history and cultural spots.

Many of the artifacts on display were from local residents, including transcripts of local primary school students from the 1950s, textbooks used in the Republic of China period (1912-1949) and Shanghai-brand items such as a watch, toothpaste and beer.
