On the day of the event, the volunteers, dressed in uniforms, vividly recounted the glorious 800-year history of the Chu State in front of precious cultural relics such as the Jade Burial Mask, the Tiger-Seat Bird-Stand Suspended Drum, and the Twin-Headed Tomb Guardian Beast. The international students closely observed the relics and experienced the brilliant and splendid Jingchu culture. Jin Hai, a Pakistani student, commented: “This is my first time visiting the Jingzhou Museum. Here, I saw many relics that embody Jingchu culture and truly felt its profoundness and richness.”

Zhou Chenghui, a volunteer from State Grid Jingzhou City Jingzhou District Power Supply Company, explained: “In October 2024, our company established a 10-person electric power interpretation volunteer team. Prior to this, we underwent professional training and studied the museum’s exhibits extensively. Our team members utilize their weekend time to come to the museum and provide interpretation services for visitors from across the country, spreading Jingchu culture and reflecting the power company’s commitment to social responsibility and volunteer spirit.”
