B
In recent years, Community Sharing Day has become popular in many cities. It’s a day when people gather to exchange unused items—from books and toys to clothes and tools—with neighbours, turning waste into shared resources. In Shanghai, Mrs Wang started the first Community Sharing Day in her community. “My daughter no longer used her toys, but they were still in good condition,” she said. “I hoped they could bring happiness to other kids instead of lying idle(闲置的) at home.”
At the event, participants can take items for free or leave their own donations(捐赠物). For example, a man exchanged his old bicycle for a fishing rod(钓鱼竿), while a teenager got a second-hand guitar in return for some home-made cookies. “It’s not just about saving money,” noted Li Wei, a regular participant. “It’s about building connections and trust among neighbours.”
Studies show that sharing activities like this reduce waste and improve community relationships. “When you share, you see your neighbours as friends, not strangers,” explains Dr Zhang, a sociologist. “It’s a small act that creates big changes.”
