On July 28th, the "Futian District 4th Health Rafting Station and the 10th Shenzhen Citizen Health Literacy Competition Futian Division Publicity Activities" came to an end and came to a successful end. The health promotion activity, sponsored by the Futian District Health Bureau, undertaken by the Futian District Health Education Institute, and co-organized by the ten sub-district offices of Futian District, was held in 8 sessions and lasted for 28 days. Each session ushered in a crowd that exceeded expectations, and the enthusiasm of residents to participate was as hot and lasting as the scorching sun in Shenzhen's summer. Even the sudden heavy rain or the continuous high temperature and scorching sun did not stop them from pursuing health knowledge.
Edutainment, fun and health go hand in hand
"Health" is at the heart of the event. In terms of the content dimension of health science popularization, it is broad enough and deep enough; It is aimed at the whole population, all ages, and the whole life cycle, involving the common health problems of the old, middle and young generations. The event was crowded, from 80-year-olds to three-year-olds. In addition, many residents use mobile phones and electronic watches to take photos to record health knowledge.
At the event site, despite the scorching sun and heavy rain, the enthusiasm of the residents did not diminish in the slightest. Holding up umbrellas or wearing raincoats, they stopped in front of each exhibition area to watch, actively participated in interactive games, and competed to answer questions to win cultural and creative products. The popularity and atmosphere of the scene are far more warm and hot than the weather outside.
In the company of adults, the children in the children's area participated in various health games with great interest, listened carefully, answered questions enthusiastically, and showed a strong interest in health knowledge. The migrant worker zone has attracted the participation of many young white-collar workers, who do not forget to care about their physical health in addition to their busy work, and understand how to work and rest scientifically and exercise reasonably through participating in activities. The elderly area is even more lively, where the elderly sit together, listen to health lectures by professionals, exchange health care experiences with each other, and share the fun of healthy life.
In the form of health science popularization, it includes many channels such as health knowledge science exhibition, health game interaction, health education video reach, and health science popularization information distribution. The content is informative and the form is interesting. The popular science exhibition area, the answering area, and the game interactive area are all crowded with residents who are actively participating.
At the same time, the Healthy Behavior Classroom and the Healthy Art Troupe are the "right-hand men" of this event. Futian District pioneered the health behavior class and launched the health practice class. With hundreds of health knowledge experts in the region as a health think tank, we will open up online and offline channels to continuously output authoritative and interesting health knowledge.

This art group aims to spread health knowledge, and is good at showing a healthy life through a variety of art forms such as dance, vocal music, recitation, and melodrama. In this event, the Health Art Troupe was able to show its style.
Everyone participates in weight management, and everyone benefits from scientific weight loss
In 2024, the National Health Commission, together with 16 departments including the General Administration of Sports of China, officially launched the "Year of Weight Management" activity.
