Yesterday, at the Jianghan District Veteran Cadre Activity Center, Chen Lizhi, a 66-year-old retired cadre from Wannian Community on Minzu Street (second from left in the picture below), showed his old colleagues who came to watch the exhibition how to fold colorful waste paper. More than 20 kinds of origami creations, including five-pointed stars, flower baskets, and sailboats, advocate people to go green and embrace the festival.

Lao Yu said that when he was a child, he had no toys to play with, so he always played with origami by himself. Now that he sees that many children in the community are addicted to the Internet, he folded a lot of works and gave them away, hoping that they would play less online games and use their hands and brains more.
