Mrs Charity Sale makes international neighborhood warmful

May 14 is Mother’s Day, also on the occasion of International Family Day. On this day full of love, a charity sale arrived at the central square of the Golden Street as scheduled, attracting active participation from both Chinese and foreign residents, and making this international neighborhood warmful.

People who live in the Hongqiao Community are quite familiar with the “Gubei Mrs Charity Sale.” As a brand volunteer service project of the community, it has been held continuously for 13 years, becoming a platform for Chinese and foreign residents to integrate and communicate with each other, and jointly realize their self-worth.

Local brands lead summer fashion trend

Since the beginning of summer, pedestrians shuttling through the streets of the city have become more colorful and energetic in their clothing. Fashion brands Tommy Hilfiger and Anzheng from Changning have also recently released a new season of brand clothing, enriching consumers’ shopping options.

Tommy Hilfiger has recently teamed up with brand ambassador and all-round musician Henry Liu in China to launch the 2023 new Polo series, which focuses more on expressing one’s own style. 

The new series continues the brand’s iconic red, white, and blue elements, with colors, details, and texture as its highlights. The polo version of the rugby shirt adopts a box style and a diagonal weave collar design, with a lively style that can be both academic and athletic, as well as casual and elite. 

As a “new polo” that meets the diverse wearing needs of the new generation, this series received high praise upon its launch. Before the official arrival of summer, Tommy Hilfiger’s “Polo new trend” once again swept the fashion industry.

China Anzheng, which launched its sunscreen and cool sensation series in May this year, has also received attention. The new series of clothing adopts ICE-M733 cool feeling fabric, which contains cold technology fibers that can guide heat to the outer end. 

When wearing, it is not only breathable and comfortable, but also can instantly cool down, and can block more than 98 percent of ultraviolet radiation. 

In addition to incorporating black technology, the new series also highly caters to the clothing needs of current consumer groups in various scenarios such as camping, mountaineering, and sports.

Innovation and living together 

At present, Changning is using urban renewal to release spatial carriers and promote the “new path” of industrial development, vigorously promoting the construction of the Shanghai Silicon Alley scientific and technological innovation block. 

As the specific coordinator and promoter of the Changning urban renewal project, the Hongqiao Office takes the lead in collaborating with multiple departments and resources to create a batch of highly influential urban renewal projects, attracting numerous high-level scientific and technological innovation enterprises to come one after another.

With the implementation of multiple urban renewal projects such as Yujian, Wuyi Road 333 Park, and SIMIC Valley, technology benchmark enterprises such as Guanchi Technology, Black Lake Technology, QST, and SIMIC have settled in Changning to share the fruits of urban renewal. 

The Shanghai Silicon Alley science and technology innovation block will also welcome multiple “heavyweight” projects such as Shanghai Silicon Alley No.1, WYSH翡悦里, New Quadrant Wuyi, Youyou Center, Wuyi Fang, Wuyi Road 200, SIMIC Phase II, Loft Creater SPACE, and China Southwest Architectural Design and Research Institute. 

At that time, new commercial, cultural, and technological innovation enterprises will be introduced into the project, effectively improving the urban landscape and promoting industrial optimization and development.
