"We travel together, join community activities and keep in touch through WeChat groups," Wang said. "We've been together for so many years that everyone has become really close."

　　For Zhang Ruixin, Party secretary of Fu'an community, a "complete community is a shared home for people of different ethnic groups," where everyone can participate, benefit and develop together.

　　That idea is reflected in the development of community spaces. "When we were developing the neighborhood activity center, we collected residents' suggestions through home visits and online, so as to decide on the layout and functions," Zhang said.

　　The community has built a "Pomegranate Red Square" that integrates functional areas such as the Tongxin Pavilion, an ethnic unity and progress corridor, and a themed plaza. China often likens all ethnic groups to pomegranate seeds holding tightly together as a metaphor for unity.

　　In 2025, the community partnered with China Sports Lottery to convert an idle building elsewhere in the neighborhood into a 300-square-meter activity center.

　　Equipped with table tennis tables, chess and card tables and a reading area, the center is free and open to all residents regardless of ethnicity, household registration or age.

　　Meanwhile, some community services, such as social security and medical assistance, have also been made available online.

　　Bringing services closer to residents' daily lives is also part of a broader effort in Chinese cities to build "complete communities." The push aims to make public and commercial services, elderly care and cultural and leisure facilities more accessible within neighborhoods.

　　More young people have also been getting involved in the community, finding their own ways to help others.
