Since 2018, the club has launched a series of public welfare activities to care for Xingbao, and the players and fans of the harbor have held hands with Xingbao many times, accompanied them on trips, painted together, held birthday parties for them, made handmade soaps together, and carried out charity sales. In the past few years, almost every season, Xingbao has come to the Harbour home stadium to watch the game, and in the process, football has become a link and bridge, allowing the "children of the stars" to connect more closely with the players, fans, and our society, and many Harbour fans have formed a deep friendship with Xingbao.
