A better society through voluntary work

For Wan Shiyu, a 20-year-old social work major at Wuhan University of Technology (WUT) in Hubei province, voluntary work goes beyond her studies — it represents a commitment by young people to social development and mutual care through selfless devotion and compassion.

From Dec 1 to 3, Wan joined thousands of students from across the country at the seventh China Youth Volunteer Service Project Competition and Volunteer Service Exchange Meeting in Shantou, Guangdong province.

Wan's voluntary project, named "Xingxinxiangyin" (Star and Heart Intertwined), which provides rehabilitation services for children with autism, was selected as one of the top 10 projects out of 601 submissions.
