Li Xinxiu, 46, is a tower crane operator working at the construction site of the second-phase project (east section) of the Nanjing Financial City.







Sitting in the 2-square-meter crane operator's cabin at an altitude of 416.6 meters on top of the main tower, Li skillfully manipulates the handle to lift the hook, swing the arm, lift building materials and accurately transport them to the destination.

"For tower crane operators, safety is the premise," says Li. "It is important to keep focused, careful and patient."

Seeing skyscrapers rising from the ground, Li feels proud she can be part of it.

A community canteen in Dalian, Liaoning province, bustled with residents one morning last month, most of them elderly. They were attracted by the menu, which offered 10 dishes.

Visiting the canteen at the Haijing community in Jinpu New Area on Feb 22, Fan Ning, 69, said: "I ordered stir-fried cabbage, pork and tofu. It cost only 11 yuan ($1.50)."

She added that since the canteen opened in September, she has become used to taking the 10-minute walk from her home to eat there.

Fan expressed her gratitude for the convenience the canteen offers, particularly the affordable prices. She said that with her husband still working and her daughter living away from Dalian, she often struggled to prepare a nourishing lunch for herself at home.

"The canteen has provided a solution by offering a variety of dishes at reasonable prices, saving me the trouble of cooking," she added.

Tubu dyeing and weaving craft is a local intangible cultural heritage in Shanghai. The handmade fabric with rich geometric patterns is popular in the countryside of Shanghai.

In Dongmao Village, Tubu dyeing and weaving techniques are passed on and developed from generation to generation. In 2021, a training center was set up in the village to better promote the craft. Shen Jiahui, who is in charge of the training center, keeps on designing new products such as hand-bags, toys, and bookmarks, with the trainees.

At present, the industry of the homespun cloth has not only increased the incomes for the locals of Dongmao Village, but also brought fame to the village.
