On November 3, a group of 15 members of the national Go training squad visited Dashilar Subdistrict in Beijing's Xicheng District for an event themed "Go Charm Enriches the Hutongs, the Way of Go Promotes Good Governance." The team members visited the Quanjude Museum, a Beijing municipal patriotic education base; the Beijing Fang Ruijing Space; and the Dashilan Commercial District Party-Masses Service Center, immersing themselves in the city's revolutionary history, the cultural heritage of its hutongs, and the achievements of grassroots governance. They also held a roundtable discussion with the subdistrict office to explore ways of jointly building up Go culture. At the end of the event, the training team's coaches and players held a charity teaching-game session with Go enthusiasts from the Dashilan area. This event organically integrated patriotic education with public-service work, helping the national pastime of Go take root in hutong neighborhoods. Going forward, the national team will continue holding public-interest activities in communities and commercial districts, making full use of the national players' role as models and leaders, and actively fulfilling its social responsibility through charity games and cultural exchange.
