Zhou Weijing's hometown is in Xingtai, Hebei, and she doesn't know much about Beijing's rural areas. At first glance, everything is strange, but this is not possible to have professional knowledge.

"Visit the investigation from house to the house, and inquire the basic situation of the villagers in a normal way, including demand, hobbies, and specialties to form a research report. In this way In the service. "After finishing the comprehensive foundation in the early stage, Zhou Weijing had a spectrum.

Help community construction

When I saw some children crying because of a bone marrow puncture, I also cried." According to Liang Xiao, Social workers will recruit volunteers regularly, arrange training, and prepare handmade materials or painting tools for everyone to send services to the ward.

"We must try our best to dig their characteristics. For example, a child was very anxious when a child was just hospitalized. Later, we found that the child was particularly sensitive to color and usually liked to paint. Among them, the child designed the logo for the Chunfeng plan, which made Liang Xiao quite moved. "The child drew a long -haired sister and stood on the lawn of the spring breeze. The child said, you brought warmth like that sister brought warmth like that sister brought warmth We also felt very warm when we heard it.
