A sharing event to explore the city's past, workers' movement history, spirit of craftsmanship and stories of model workers
The activities marks the one-year countdown to the centenary of the establishment of the union next year.
The city walks will invite young model workers and craftsmen to share stories behind these iconic buildings and the history of the union.
A typical shikumen (stone-gated) residence building on Chengdu Rd N. in Jing'an District was the former site of the National Labor Union Secretariat and is deemed as the cradle of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions. Its story was the opening chapter of the video series.
