Graffiti painting to welcome the 19th CPC National Congress
A 65-meter-long wall painted with graffiti has become a new attraction in the downtown Jing’ansi area.
More than 200 people, from senior citizens to white-collar workers living and working in the community, spent five hours on Friday drawing on the wall on Yongyuan Road.
They painted a mixed of images, from iconic Shanghai landmarks like the Oriental Pearl TV Tower to their daily life like square dancing, from Chinese achievements like high-speed bullet trains to exotic scenes from “One Belt One Road” countries.
At the center of the wall, there is a huge national flag and China’s map, entitled China Dream.
“It’s great. I feel happy because the environment is better,” said 61-year-old Cen Peiyong.
The activity was initiated by the community to welcome the upcoming 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
