This summer, Hussain, a graduate student of Zhejiang University, traded the classroom for the countryside and embarked on a field trip to Xinchang county in Shaoxing, Zhejiang province.

Through immersive visits and firsthand research, Hussain explored Xinchang's natural beauty, cultural heritage, and development, while gaining a closer look at the everyday lives of local residents.

What impressed him most was the thoughtful support provided by local companies for employees and their families during the summer vacation.

To ease the challenge of childcare during the summer break, local businesses and institutions have established summer programs for employees' children. Hussain joined the programs, learning about their activities and daily care while even stepping up to lead a fun English session with the children.

Laughter and lively interactions gave him a firsthand understanding of how local businesses are contributing to their communities. After several days in Xinchang, Hussain described the county as "a place full of warmth and human kindness".

As a student of international communication, Hussain plans to share his experiences with overseas audiences, offering an authentic glimpse into the vitality and everyday warmth of a Chinese county.

His summer journey has also created a new window for international audiences to discover Xinchang.
