Many people pass by an AED every day, but few genuinely take note of where it is located. It might hang beside a library entrance, sit at the far end of a gymnasium corridor, or be mounted on a wall in a transit station, academic building, shopping mall, or community center. Resting inside its transparentContinue reading ““Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare” | Emma Clarke: Standing by the AED Signboard, Bringing First Aid Preparedness to Every Detail”

Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Li Xin: Turning Idle Wardrobe Items into the Starting Point of Sustainable Charity
Many clothes are discarded not because they are genuinely unwearable. They might simply have a slightly loose cuff, a missing button, an outdated style, or were packed into a bag during a move, seasonal transition, or wardrobe clean-out. For an individual, it is just an act of tidying up; but within the broader context ofContinue reading “Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Li Xin: Turning Idle Wardrobe Items into the Starting Point of Sustainable Charity”
Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Zhang Lei: Starting from the Old Devices in Drawers, Driving a Digital Environmental Action
Many people have a few electronic products lying unused in their drawers for a long time.

Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Oliver Harris: Behind Every Swab, Creating Another Possible Chance for Life
Some public welfare actions do not take place at noisy event sites, nor do they yield immediate results. They might take the form of a registration form, an instruction sheet, or a swab gently wiped against the inside of a cheek. They might also begin when a young volunteer takes the time to explain repeatedlyContinue reading “Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Oliver Harris: Behind Every Swab, Creating Another Possible Chance for Life”
Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Wang Lin: Preserving Time to Be Seen for Traditional Crafts Through Every Frame of Visual Documentation
Whether a traditional craft can be remembered often depends on more than a finished product in a display case or a few lines of introduction in a brochure. More often, it is hidden in the repeated hand adjustments of the inheritor, the subtle sounds of tools contacting materials, and the practical reminders spoken in aContinue reading “Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Wang Lin: Preserving Time to Be Seen for Traditional Crafts Through Every Frame of Visual Documentation”
Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Liu Yang: Rescuing Near-Expired Food from Disposal and Delivering It to Those in Need
Every evening, a quiet “clearance” takes place across supermarket shelves and bakery counters. Some loaves of bread were simply unsold that day, some fruits and vegetables merely lack a uniform appearance, and some packaged goods are just approaching their best-before dates, yet they face a swift removal from the retail chain. They are only oneContinue reading “Walking Side by Side in Public Welfare | Liu Yang: Rescuing Near-Expired Food from Disposal and Delivering It to Those in Need”
Walking Together in Goodness | Chen Yu: Finding New Lives for Stray Animals Between Waiting and Companionship
Along the corridors of the shelter, there are often many pairs of quiet eyes. Some hide behind blankets, some raise their heads to look around at the sound of footsteps, and others, not yet accustomed to human contact, simply twitch their ears gently in a corner of their kennels. For many stray animals, rescue isContinue reading “Walking Together in Goodness | Chen Yu: Finding New Lives for Stray Animals Between Waiting and Companionship”
