To strengthen cultural awareness among young students and enhance pipeline safety knowledge, on the afternoon of December 9, the Pipeline Protection Publicity Volunteer Group of the School’s Xiansheng Narration Team visited Taihangshan Road Primary School and delivered a dual-theme outreach session for more than 50 second-grade students. The activities, themed “Building New Chapters Along the Silk Road” and “Rubik’s Cube Youth,” guided students to explore traditional culture and learn about pipelines through storytelling and hands-on interaction.

Building New Chapters Along the Silk Road: Camel Bells Bridging Past and Present

In the first session, Wang Leyang introduced the theme “Building New Chapters Along the Silk Road.” Using presentation slides and child-friendly language, he explained key aspects of the ancient Silk Road, including overland caravan trade and maritime exchange routes. He highlighted the Silk Road’s historical role in facilitating the flow of goods and connecting cultures. Through a Silk Road map and interactive Q&A, students responded enthusiastically. During the discussion, Wang encouraged students to share their understanding of “Silk Road stories,” and many eagerly described the “caravans and merchant ships” they imagined.

Rubik’s Cube Youth: Assembling Safety Awareness at Your Fingertips

In the second session, Wang Chenxin presented “Rubik’s Cube Youth,” introducing the functions of urban pipeline systems. He compared “precise cube assembly” to “standardized pipeline installation,” explaining how water supply and gas pipelines operate, along with key safety and protection tips. In the interactive segment, Wang hosted a pipeline-themed quiz and awarded mini pipeline models to students who answered correctly. He also invited a student to scramble a 3×3 Rubik’s Cube, after which Wang Yu demonstrated a live solve. The demonstration reinforced the message that pipeline maintenance requires focus and careful attention to detail, drawing warm applause from the audience.

Throughout the event, students participated actively, asked questions, and proudly showed their pipeline models after the session. By combining “storytelling + hands-on experience,” the outreach integrated cultural learning with safety education—helping students enjoy a fun introduction to Silk Road culture while strengthening their awareness of pipeline safety. Wang Yu, a student volunteer from the group, noted that the team will continue to refine the program and develop more high-quality outreach themes, using youth-led initiatives to support children’s learning, curiosity, and healthy growth through cultural enrichment and safety education.
