"2021 is an unusual year, a landmark year in the history of the party and the country, in the past year, due to the general environment, the association's major activities have not been held, but the footsteps of our association's folk writers to inherit and innovate the excellent culture of the Chinese nation have not stopped for a moment."

Trickles of water, all rushing towards the sea; dots of starlight merge into a vast galaxy. In 2021, we are moving forward in the struggle, and everyone's small step will become a big step in the development of the country.

They led the team to participate in the 2021 Guangzhou Traditional Lion Awakening Invitational Tournament and won the second prize (traditional lion group), and it is gratifying that most of the players are primary and secondary school students, and they are the youngest team with the youngest average age.

Haizhu District Jilidao Primary School has become the base for the cultural inheritance of Guangzhou citizens, and the "Fuji Tea House" has become the base for the inheritance of folk culture in Haizhu District. Many schools, such as Qianjin Road Primary School in Haizhu District, have become non-genetic inheritance bases in Guangzhou.
Liu Xiaoling and other members of the Folk Literature Work Committee have co-authored "Lingnan Water Town" and have been published; He Yuanning's seven-law poem "Tour to Julong Village in Guangzhou" has been published in the past few years, and participated in the selection of the organizer China Prose Network and won the gold medal of the 2021 "Sanya Cup" National Literature Competition.
In 2021, the teachers of the Literary Work Committee and the Cultural and Sports Work Committee of the Association used new media such as the Association's public number, video number, and live broadcast, and also went deep into the scene to collect and write the deeds of folk writers who insisted on "epidemic prevention and production" during the epidemic period, transformed their deeds into readable, visual and audible media, and actively submitted articles to various news media to publicize the work of non-genetic inheritance, which effectively encouraged the morale of the majority of members and played a good publicity effect.
In the past year, due to the influence of the general environment, although the opportunity for gatherings among the members of the association has been less, it has become more united and warmer. Some members have an acute illness, and members have generously donated money to express their love. In the New Year, the association also organized the "Spring Breeze March to set sail for love" - Guangzhou Haizhu District Folk Writers Association organized a charity auction of works, many members, especially craftsmen, have donated their own works for auction, creating the association into a big family with love and temperature.
Looking back on 2021, on the difficult and tortuous road, folk writers in Haizhu District maintained their original intentions, kept in mind the mission, moved forward firmly, and made their own contributions in carrying forward the excellent culture of the Chinese nation. On the basis of winning the title of "2020 Guangdong Provincial Folk Art Advanced Collective" (the only district-level people's association in Guangzhou to win this honor), the association continues to forge ahead in the face of honors, carries out cross-regional integration, cooperates with more units, and organizes delegations to participate in the Guangdong International Tea Expo for many consecutive years to publicize the national essence; in cooperation with Zhujiang Industrial Co., Ltd., a large state-owned enterprise in Guangzhou, a folk craft exhibition room has been established in the beautiful countryside of Conghua - Nanping Village tourist attraction, and Guangcai craftsmen have been sent to participate in their parent-child experience activities.
In the face of the new situation in the new year, the association puts forward new requirements for the majority of members, encouraging members to strive to create works of the Acura era in the work of inheriting intangible cultural heritage, so as to resonate with the development of the times, win-win with scientific and technological progress, coexist with traditional culture, empathize with local people, bloom in inheritance and dissemination, continue to be abundant in Geng, and benefit ordinary people's homes.
