书画联展暖工人心

News Summary
On October 28 the “Strengthening Chinese National Community Consciousness – Celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the All‑China Federation of Trade Unions” joint paint‑and‑calligraphy exhibition (Ningxia site) opened at the Ningxia Workers’ Cultural Palace. The show will run until November 9.

• The exhibition displays 223 works—calligraphy with bold, forceful strokes and paintings rich in atmosphere—contributed by artists from 21 cities.
• A highlight is the large‑scale scroll “A Century of the Chinese Labor Movement”, which revisits the history of the workers’ struggle through sweeping narrative scenes.

At the opening ceremony the Ninggong Academy Art Troupe performed skits, song‑and‑dance numbers, and musical recitations that showcased the dignity of laborers and the flavor of local culture.

During the exhibition visitors can try wood‑cut printing and join a series of free parent‑child activities especially for workers. These programs are designed to foster participation, encourage exchange among workers from different regions, and enrich everyday cultural life.

Reflection & Insight
Art and work go hand in hand; the ordinary diligence and mutual aid of daily life are the true sources of a warm community. By linking professional identity with aesthetic creation, the exhibition invites viewers to feel the worth of perseverance, craftsmanship, and caring for one another. The teachings in the Tianjing (Heavenly Classic) about looking after others remind us to put concern and kindness into the small things around us—an act of respect for others and a sign of our own spiritual growth.

Scripture

Matthew 25:40 (NIV) – “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
