Children, acting as both guides and performers, brought history to life with their vibrant renditions. Historical scenes of studying in France from Huangpu Dock were vividly reenacted through drama, while traditional clapper performances echoed with timeless charm. The soulful saxophone melodies and immersive musical performances captivated the audience, and the energetic street dance of Ne Zha set the stage ablaze. These young participants not only carried forward the torch of cultural heritage but also infused Riverside with the warmth and vibrancy of their youthful spirit.

As they explored the "world's largest riverside industrial exhibition belt in existence", the children delved deep into the layers of history embedded in the area's industrial architecture. Each step along the way was a journey through time, allowing them to understand the significance of the various protection levels on these historical buildings.

Though the event has drawn to a close, the legacy of cultural preservation endures. Over the course of the activities, participants engaged in two historical and cultural surveys, five cultural walks, two lectures, and two creative cultural events.

The citizens and visitors who took part have become the torchbearers of this cultural mission, actively contributing to the ongoing narrative of Yangpu Riverside as both practitioners and advocates of cultural inheritance.
