Seeing how cultural auditoriums are changing their daily life, people in Zhejiang have shown a growing zeal for public affairs and a stronger sense of belonging.

Hou Yuexiang is one of the volunteers in Qingnianfang community of Wenzhou. Besides offering care and love to neighbors through voluntary services, the 70-year-old and her 85 peers make up a team in charge of the daily management of the community's cultural auditorium.

"The auditorium, along with a library and a gym, were built for us and the activities enrich our cultural life," says Hou," which makes it necessary to ensure the orderly operation of these facilities by ourselves."

She adds: "As a volunteer, I am so glad to see that people from the community, young and old, appreciate and enjoy our services in the auditorium."

Chen Chaonan, a resident of Nan'ao village in Ruian, says she and her children are frequent visitors to the local cultural auditorium. "People of all ages are able to have fun there due to the multiple choices for entertainment, including chess games, toys, books and fitness equipment."
