A radio station has been unveiled on Shanghai's historical Yuyuan Road in Changning District for good Samaritans to share their deeds and residents to advice on social governance.
The Civilization and Co-governance Radio Station, the first of its kind in the city, will be open for residents to witness the radio broadcasting process or accept interviews from hosts.
The programs made by the new station will be broadcast on Radio Shanghai or its new media platform Ajmide, according to the Changning District Spiritual Civilization Office.
"The practice aims to promote civilization and spread virtue through sharing deeds and innovative community ideas," an official with the office said.
