Making room for everyone to move, learn, and belong.
From guiding visually impaired runners through Beijing Olympic Park to supporting children in rehabilitation and early literacy, my community work is rooted in practical, consistent support — meeting people where they are and helping more people take part.
REAL PRESENCE.
Community work is not one thing.
It can mean creating access to a familiar sport, helping a child practice a new skill, or making a reading space more welcoming. Different settings call for different forms of support, but each begins with attention to the person in front of you.
Move together.
Guided running is built on coordination, communication and trust — so that visual impairment does not have to mean giving up a shared running experience.
Support the process.
Rehabilitation and learning require patience. Small steps, repeated practice and encouragement can all be part of meaningful participation.
Make room.
From adaptive sports to community reading, inclusion is also about creating opportunities for people to participate, connect and feel welcome.
Four ways to show up.
Each experience has its own setting and needs — from outdoor movement to rehabilitation, inclusive sports and children's reading.
MOVEMENT & ACCESS
Running as a partner, not a pace-setter.
As a medium-pace group leader with the He Yajun Blind Aid Group, I guided visually impaired runners at Beijing Olympic Park. After passing an assessment, I was appointed to lead the 5:00 min/km group.
- Ran alongside visually impaired partners using a tether and verbal cues.
- Communicated upcoming turns and changes in road conditions, adjusting pace to each runner's needs.
- Offered encouragement throughout each session, helping the group stay coordinated and engaged.
Guided running through communication, coordination and trust.
Learning beyond the classroom.
At Chenguang Rehabilitation Center for Children with Cerebral Palsy, I volunteer 2.5 hours per week across 32 weeks each year. I tutor reading, writing and arithmetic, and spend time with children through Gomoku and painting.
- Assisted with muscle-relaxation exercises using a massage ball under therapists' guidance.
- Spoke with therapists and parents about the challenges of long-term rehabilitation at home.
- Organized a World Cerebral Palsy Day outreach event at Longzexi subway station, sharing brochures and children's artwork to raise public awareness.
Sport as a shared experience.
At Qingya Sports Rehabilitation Center for Special Children, I assisted coaches during badminton lessons for children with autism. I helped guide movements, supported the activities and offered emotional encouragement.

An article written and published to encourage understanding and inclusion of children with special needs.
Making space for stories.
At Peeka Book House, I helped organize and catalogue books, maintain the reading area and read picture books and popular science books to young children during weekend reading sessions. The experience connected everyday service with a simple idea: access to books can make learning more inviting.
PEEKA BOOK HOUSE / READING & LITERACY
Inclusion is built
one encounter at a time.
Whether through a shared run, a rehabilitation session or a weekend reading activity, community participation begins with listening, showing up and finding practical ways to help others take part.
