This is the root of Shanghai, the head of the Pujiang River, the Zhong Lingyuxiu of the Nine Peaks and Sanmao, nourishing the land among the clouds. This is the source of the G60 science and technology innovation corridor in the Yangtze River Delta, where science and technology innovation empowers high-quality development and stirs up infinite vitality.

[Open up the "last mile" of civilized practice]
Listen to a red story, learn a dance with a teacher, sweat in the free gym, take your child to make a cake in the baking experience class, go to the community health center for a health check-up, or take a "family photo" with your family...... In Zhongshan Street, Songjiang District, there is a "one-stop comprehensive service position" called "Zhongshan Xingfuli".
"Happiness Lane" is the "base camp" of the New Era Civilization Practice Sub-center of Zhongshan Street. Colorful civilized practice activities and meticulous and intimate volunteer services are condensed and displayed here, actively opening up the "last mile" of publicity, education and serving the masses.
At the entrance of the first floor of Xingfu Lane is the "Convenient Service Corner", which provides residents with civilized practice volunteer services such as sewing, umbrella repair, and glasses cleaning every week to promote the new trend of society. Walking into it is even more "unique": theoretical study classes, dance classes, yoga classes, baking classes, etc., to meet the needs of residents' quality life and enrich spiritual and cultural life. This series of civilized practice activities in the new era takes the construction of a "15-minute community life circle" as the main path, and strives to create a high-quality civilized practice service circle.
Taking "Happiness Lane" as the epitome, in recent years, Zhongshan Street in Songjiang District has actively played the role of a sub-center of civilization practice in the new era, radiating and driving 4 districts, 22 residential areas, and N characteristic points, and promoting the tentacles of civilization practice in the new era from horizontal to edge and vertical to the end.
【Injecting youth and vitality into volunteer service】
"To you in the distance: study hard and make progress every day!"
Immature notes are covered with letterhead. Under the leadership of the volunteers, the children wrote down their blessings one by one and put them into the mailbox together with school supplies, books and picture books. This is the site of the volunteer service activity of "Warm Tibet, Light Up Dreams" carried out by Guangfulin Street Community Volunteer Service Center and colleges and universities in the jurisdiction. These letters, books, school bags, etc., will be delivered to the children of Qiongguo Township Primary School in Zhongba County, Tibet, and also connect the deep friendship of "Shanghai and Tibet as a family".
In addition to "Warm Tibet, Light Up Dreams", there are also "Rule of Law Fulin", "River Angel", "Colorful Holiday", and "Benefiting from the Expo......

[Draw spiritual strength from the rich history]
In the Songjiang Martyrs Cemetery in Shanghai, there are many martyrs who sacrificed their lives for the country to rest here. Sadly, many of them were not able to leave a photo.
As a result, the "Red Inheritance under the Brush" New Era Civilization Practice Project came into being. The college student volunteers used portraits to restore their appearances and completed a reunion across time and space. Portraits are just the beginning. Since then, two red picture books of "Painting the Heroes and Martyrs in the Clouds", a special exhibition of the original heart, and a historical drama exhibition...... The red gene has been passed down from generation to generation in the New Era Civilization Practice Project.
In addition to creating characteristic civilization practice projects, the Songjiang District New Era Civilization Practice Center also expands civilization practice positions such as ancient water towns, beautiful villages, cultural scenic spots, and industrial clusters. Civilized practice activities such as "Five Cloud Actions" and "Culture, Science and Technology and Health to the Countryside", as well as service services such as "Coming to the Family" and "College Student Mediators Entering the Community" to solve the needs and expectations of the masses.
Ancient Songjiang, a new city. The rich history and the civilization of the new era are complementing each other in Songjiang, Shanghai.
