International Nurses Day
Jing’an held an award ceremony to honor outstanding nurses on May 12 — International Nurses Day. The honorees included Zhu Xianjie from Huashan Hospital, He Zhengchao from Shanghai Children’s Hospital and Yao Xiulan from Jing’an District Central Hospital.
Also, winning submissions to a photo competition to record the work of nurses was unveiled.
A photo of a male nurse taking care of baby at the Jing’an District Zhabei Central Hospital was awarded top prize.
Nurses taking nucleic acid tests, arranging test tubes and working in operation rooms were also documented.
Draw with an artist
Local students drew pictures along with artists during an exhibition held at Jing’an Sculpture Park.
On May 10, students from Shanghai International Studies University’s Jing’an Foreign Language Primary School created their own acrylic paintings under the guidance of Li Lei after viewing his exhibition “Flowers on Field Paths — The Art of Li Lei.”
The exhibition features nearly 200 pieces of Li’s work. He’s known for combing the art of porcelain with paintings, sculptures and installations.
“Some of them have talent for painting. I hope they can frequently visit museums and art venues to feel the charm of art,” he said.
Seal exhibition
A seal exhibition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of CPC kicked off on May 18 at the Sihang Warehouse Battle Memorial. It will last to the end of the month. Highlight of the exhibition is a “red sea” formed by 100 photos of seals and stamps. Also on display are seals carved with slogans such as “Long Live CPC.” They are all handmade by artist Wang Chaoying.
From greenland to park
Zhongxing Greenland is evolving from a simple green space to a park.
The greenland, east of Zhiyuan Road, south of Zhongxing Road, west of Xizang Road N. and north of Zhonghuaxin Road, opened to the pubic this year. On average, it has received 4,200 visitors per day.
A makeover and upgrade began in March, and is scheduled for completion in September.
The total size will remain the same, but the green area will cover more than 23,000 square meters.
Existing camphor, magnolia and other trees will be preserved, and trees with colorful foliage in different seasons, such as maples, will be added to create a vibrant landscape. In addition, grassy slopes, squares, paths and children’s playgrounds will be built.
New museum
A new museum has been built at the former site of the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions at 828 Zhongxing Road.
In 1900, 11 businessmen from Huzhou, Zhejiang Province, built a house for Huzhou businessmen to have gatherings. Later, the Northern Warlords occupied it.
In March 1927, the 3rd Shanghai Workers’ Armed Uprising began. The house became the headquarters for the uprising as well as an office for the Shanghai Federation of Trade Unions. However, within a month, Kuomintang troops took it over. In 1932, it was bombed by Japanese troops.
Baoshan Road Subdistrict began building a museum on the site last November. A two-floored wood-brick house has been rebuilt based on historical documents, and it has begun trial operations.
‘Red’ orientation tour
A group of 120 young people participated in an orientation tour across six “red” sites to celebrate the National Youth Day on May 4. They visited the former site of the Chinese Communist Youth League, Chairman Mao Zedong’s Shanghai residence in 1920, Mao’s former residence on Maoming Road, the former site of the National Labor Union Secretariat, the former site of the CPC Songpu Special Committee’s Office and the Shanghai Youngsters Activity Center. They were asked to complete a series of tasks, such as taking a quiz, to better understand the revolutionary past.
Police know how
Police official Wu Yongjie from the Daning Road Police Station presented a talk show on May 3 in the Life Hub @ Daning mall to raise people’s awareness about emerging scams.
He highlighted cases of telecommunication frauds, Ponzi schemes and online dating scams with jokes and short sketches, which attracted a large audience, including young people.
Data show young- and middle-aged groups are more vulnerable to scams than older people.
“Previously, we focused more on senior citizens and made a lot of effort to raise their awareness,” Wu said. “However, we have found that people between the ages of 18 and 40 are more likely to fall victim to scams.”
