An international metropolis on the shores of the East China Sea, a new migrant city rising from the Gobi Desert... China's cities embody a remarkable range of forms and efforts etched across a diverse range of landscapes, all of which is reflected in the everyday lives of ordinary people.
No two cities look alike, yet the standard by which we measure a city's warmth is familiar: Is there a place to rest safely? Is there a hot, decent meal to eat? Is there a corner where even the most vulnerable are treated with care and dignity? These seemingly small details are, in fact, what make a city truly moving.
The Global Times is launching a new series, "China City Talk." In this series, we explore cities across China, focusing on the everyday rhythms of life shaped by the human warmth of public policy and the quiet ways urban governance transforms individual lives. These stories offer one of the clearest windows into contemporary China.
Inside a historic red-brick building that houses a Party-mass service complex, run by a local grass-roots organization of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Kunqu opera enthusiast Li Qin rehearses with her retired friends. Many of the complex's spaces are open to the public, and in its elegantly old-fashioned hall, the arias of the classical opera float gently through the air.
At an AI-equipped community canteen for the elderly, a robotic arm skillfully prepares bowls of noodles. Affordable dishes line the serving windows, and 62-year-old Ao Yongjian, who lives nearby, joins the queue as he always does, choosing the dishes he likes.
In a mixed-use commercial block, a class at a rehabilitation center for children with autism is suddenly interrupted by a sharp cry from 9-year-old Xiaozheng (pseudonym). A volunteer beside him gently takes his hand and comforts him in a soft voice.
In Shanghai, scenes like these unfold almost every day, in every corner of the city. From some 12,000 Party-masses service complexes to more than 500 community elderly canteens and the city's first summer vacation care program for children with autism, this metropolis is responding to the needs of every single citizen with remarkable care and precision.

A shared home
With its photogenic looks and downtown location, a Party-masses service complex in the Jing'an district's Shimen Road No.2 subdistrict has gone viral on social media, drawing visitors from near and far almost every day.
Set beside Suzhou Creek, the service complex is made up of three century-old, red brick villas. After being restored in September 2025, many areas were reopened to the public free of charge. Residents now come here to read, chat, dance, and even play chess with AI robots.
There is also a "care station," which provides convenient services for couriers, delivery riders and other workers on the go.
At noon, courier Wang Jun stopped by to warm up his lunch and take a short break. He told the Global Times that, because he is always busy, he used to eat lunch squatting by the roadside, or grab a brief rest in the lobbies of some companies. "Now that this place is here, I can eat a hot meal at noon and get out of the rain when it pours," he said with a smile. "It feels like home."
Delivery rider Wang Shuwei first came here on a rainy day while delivering food. On her period at the time, she found the restroom, only to realize she had forgotten to bring a pad. Fortunately, a janitor pointed out that the "care station" offered free pads.
"At that moment, I thought, how can something be this good?" Wang said. She has since become a regular. "The words 'Party-masses service complex' used to sound like something that had nothing to do with me. But after coming here, I realized there are real services here, and the staff are all very kind."
Behind these services lies carefully conducted surveys of nearby residents.
According to He Hanqing, director of the service complex, the renovation began after more than 1,000 feedback forms were collected online and offline. "Many residents wanted the complex to be closer to Suzhou Creek. They wanted a community canteen, while some young people wanted a shared office space, and parents wanted areas to play with their children," she said. They then integrated indoor and outdoor spaces into a single design, extending the renovation to include the surrounding Suzhou Creek promenade and the space beneath nearby bridges.
Today, the service complex receives an average of 4,000 visits a day. More than 30 percent of visitors come from outside the local community, 12 percent are tourists from elsewhere in China, and 7.7 percent are from overseas, according to data provided by the complex staff. In this highly urban complex, where rent for commercial land is extremely expensive, the place has become a shared home for many.
"We are not doing the math in terms of economic returns, but in terms of public sentiment," He Hanqing told the Global Times. "It is worth it to open up precious land to the public for free."
Warming stomachs and hearts
Around 11 am in Shanghai's Hongqiao subdistrict, the aroma of freshly cooked food drifts out of a community canteen. Named a "community canteen for the elderly," it is actually open to everyone, not just seniors.
Through a glass wall, a robotic arm in the back kitchen deftly picks up a tray of washed vegetables and delivers it into an intelligent cooking chamber. Within minutes, stir-fried cabbage is ready to serve. Braised pork, zucchini with scrambled eggs… more than a dozen dishes stand neatly lined up across the counter
Opened in 2021, this is one of Shanghai's earliest AI community canteens. The dishes here are prepared by machines and an AI system. According to the canteen's manager, Dong Yong, the system contains more than 3,000 recipes and can precisely regulate oil and salt use. Beyond its AI features, the canteen also offers full traceability for its ingredients, from procurement to processing.
What really puts diners at ease, however, are the prices. A vegetarian dish costs 4.5 yuan (67 cents), meat dishes range from 6 to 9 yuan, and some specialty items sell for 12 to 18 yuan, according to a price list on the wall.
Seniors aged 60 and above can enjoy discounts and subsidies. "A meal here costs me about 15 yuan on average - it's tasty and a good value," said resident Ao. Since retiring, Ao has come almost every day.
So how can the canteen turn a profit while charging below-market prices? He Junting, an official from the Hongqiao subdistrict, explained that the canteen is part of a government-supported partnership.
The local government provides the venue rent-free, allowing the restaurant to pass on the savings to customers. "That's why the prices are so affordable," she told the Global Times.
After choosing her dishes, a 70-year-old resident surnamed Du sat down at a table and chatted with the Global Times as she ate. Her husband is in the hospital, leaving her little time to cook for herself, so she comes here for lunch four or five days a week.
"The food here is healthy and the prices are friendly. I don't have to bother buying groceries or washing dishes myself," Du said. "The government really has solved an important problem for us older people."
During lunchtime, white-haired seniors, office workers and cleaning staff alike share the same dining space, giving the canteen a lively, down-to-earth atmosphere. Whether powered by AI or run in more traditional ways, these affordable community canteens can be found in nearly every neighborhood across Shanghai - warming both stomachs and hearts.

Much love and care
This summer, Shanghai launched a pilot program for children with autism in three districts, including Changning, marking the city's first attempt at such a summer daycare service.
The Palm Star Children's Rehabilitation Service Center, a professional rehab facility for children with autism, is located in Changning. There, 10 children attend the program, with each child paired with a volunteer.
In the classroom, laughter mixes with sudden cries. When one child has an emotional outburst, a volunteer gently calms him down; when another seems lost in her own world, the volunteer stays by her side, guiding her patiently.
Xiaozheng has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. When his mother fell ill and his father grew busy caring for her, his grandmother was left to look after him alone. In previous summers, Xiaozheng could only stay at home. This year, however, the summer vacation program gave the boy somewhere to go.
Each session of the program lasts three weeks and costs only 600 yuan - less than one-tenth of what a commercial institution might charge. For families like Xiaozheng's, which are struggling financially, this fee is covered by the local government.
In Shanghai, children with physical, intellectual or mental disabilities also receive annual care and living subsidies.
Caring for children with autism is a lifelong process, and summer vacations have long been a gap in that support, said Chu Lin, director of the center. She explained that the program is the result of joint efforts from government subsidies, social organizations and donations from caring enterprises. "Every child has the right to education. By learning here and practicing simple daily living skills and social interaction, we hope their situation can gradually improve."
Among the volunteers is 21-year-old Kalahala Nuerbaishan, a university student majoring in special education. Before taking up her post, she and the other volunteers completed two rounds of professional training.
She shared that at the program, one boy under her care had been silent all day at first, but now he raises his hand to ask for tissues on his own. "Small progress like that gives me a great sense of accomplishment," the volunteer told the Global Times.
Lunchtime arrives. Accompanied by volunteers, the children wash their hands, line up and collect their meals. Some are already seated; others are still restless. Yet the special education teachers and volunteers remain patient, trying again and again to communicate with them.
In Shanghai, the most scenic stretch along the Suzhou Creek waterfront has been left for ordinary residents; the most advanced technology is being used to prepare three meals a day; and the most professional expertise is supporting the most vulnerable children.
This metropolis, as many people living there told the Global Times, is interpreting the meaning of "cities are built by the people, for the people" in the quiet, everyday acts of care that speak the loudest.
。但,在百万级的超豪华市场,这样的“高性价比”能否战胜品牌溢价,占领用户消费心智的高地?百万级的中国品牌汽车,真的能卖出去吗? 风光开场,能否笑到最后?2024年11月26日,尊界S800正式开启预售,预售价100-150万元,关注热度一度冲至峰值,在需要缴纳意向金2万的前提下,预售48小时收获了2108台的订单。这是个怎样的量级?直接对标的迈巴赫S级,近十年内平均月销量最高仅1186台,期间3年月销甚至不过500台。

。但,在百万级的超豪华市场,这样的“高性价比”能否战胜品牌溢价,占领用户消费心智的高地?百万级的中国品牌汽车,真的能卖出去吗?
数据来源:终端销量
但是,预售高潮过后,关注热度快速冷却。虽然,随后的半年内新车车色、内饰以及黑科技技术相继曝光,也曾一度掀起小波澜,但与此前的高涨相比相形见绌。高调抢眼的订单数量能否成功转化为实际购买?还尚未可知。

数据来源:大数据,关注人数数据
有钱人的世界,难以捉摸据调研数据显示,当问到用户“手握150万,你会选择哪款车?”不出所料地更多人选择了拥有百年品牌历史的迈巴赫S480。毕竟,不管产品如何,光品牌名称就足以气场十足了。但是,值得欣喜的是,依旧有34.3%的用户愿意选择尊界S800。数据来源:调研数据。
在50万以上高购车预算用户中,虽然对海外豪华品牌偏好的人占比最高,达到65%,但是对中国品牌的偏好也超过了40%,特别是中国新势力品牌,达到45%,远远高于海外主流品牌。智能化、电动化助力中国品牌形象向着高度迈进。数据来源:调研数据
传统对豪华汽车品牌的认知已经被颠覆,高达92.3%的被调研用户认可中国品牌的高端身份。其中,认为鸿蒙智行(问界、智界等)、仰望是高端品牌的用户占比均超过了40%;认为红旗和小米汽车是高端品牌的用户占比超过30%。口碑的建立,与产品的进步有着直接的关系。数据来源:调研数据
高端产品先行,以实力鉴证收获口碑品牌向上高端化,依托的基柱之一就是产品高端化。据大数据,至2025年1-4月,官方指导价50万以上的上市新车中,中国品牌已经占据20.6%的席位,相比2018年增长了20个百分点。而指导价100万以上的上市新车,虽然豪华品牌依旧是绝对主力,占据九成以上的占比,但中国品牌也贡献了6.1%的份额,与2018年相比,实现了0的突破。数据来源:大数据,新车型统计不含待售、未售车型。中国品牌包括中国主流品牌和中国新势力品牌
在这些中国品牌高端新车当中,纯电动贡献了半数以上的力量。其中50万以下占比52.3%,100万以上占比53.3%。其次是传统燃油,依旧占据超过20%的份额。数据来源:大数据,新车型统计不含待售、未售车型。中国品牌包括中国主流品牌和中国新势力品牌
中国品牌高端车并非有价无市赢得高端市场用户的认可,远比生产高端产品要难得多,中国品牌正在一步步践行、努力。
三 | 据经销商终端新车销售发票价格(裸车含税)数据,旗下推出指导价30万及以上高端车型的中国品牌中,38.9%的品牌平均成交价均超过30万元。
不过,再向上到50万级便明显势微,除了仰望和猛士全系指导价均超50万没有可比性外,其他中国品牌50万以上销量贡献微乎其微,BBA则展示出百年老牌豪华品牌的实力了。毕竟罗马不是一天建成的,中国品牌的高端化仍任重道远。数据来源:大数据产品AI营销大脑
好的开始是成功的一半,凭借智能化、电动化的优势,中国品牌正在逐步向上冲击高端市场,或许现在销量还较低,用户更多还停留在关注阶段。但,勇敢的一步已经迈出去了,只要产品力过硬且持续稳定,一定能守得云开见月明。(文/数据分析/ 孙莹 数据提供/吕明、董国德)Current article:http://30imu.zhouangnaoguangsundianzhenmou.cfd/b2cp09v/20260826/4093.html
