On December 20, 2025, the Guanshanyue Art Museum in Shenzhen held an annual volunteer summary and commendation activity. The theme of this event is "Drawing Natural Shadows, Building a Team Together", which includes a variety of team building games, exchange and appreciation of printmaking museums, painting and sketching of Guanlan ancient villages, and a grand summary and commendation session.

In the team building activities, volunteers enhanced mutual understanding and trust through group competitions and fun challenges, effectively improving the team's cooperation and cohesion. Subsequently, during the exchange and appreciation session at the Guanlan Printmaking Museum, everyone deeply appreciated the unique charm of printmaking art, expanded their cultural horizons, and further stimulated their enthusiasm for service and thirst for knowledge. The painting and sketching activities of Guanlan Ancient Village integrate art with nature and history. Volunteers use brushes to record the ancient charm of the village and personally experience the richness and inheritance of culture. In the final summary and commendation session, the museum commended and rewarded the outstanding volunteers who have performed well in the past year, inspiring everyone to continue to carry forward the spirit of dedication in the new year and contribute more to the development of the art museum.

During the event, Director Cheng Ping from the Ministry of Education of the Exhibition gave a message: "Giving roses to others brings a lingering fragrance to your hands - and within this fragrance, the nourishment of culture and art is particularly rich, long-lasting, transcendent, and profound. In the new year, our museum will launch more high-quality projects, and we look forward to everyone walking with us, providing professional services, and sharing happiness." Teacher Xie Xianliang from the Ministry of Education of the Exhibition also said, "I hope everyone will continue to work hard in 2026, and the flame of collecting firewood will be high. Let the light of volunteerism illuminate more people, and let love warm more people

Outstanding volunteer representatives also gave speeches one after another:

Chen Xiaoqing  The volunteer service of the art museum adds fun and glory to retirement life. From 'Thousands of Miles of Long Wind', 'Scenery of the People', 'Tracing the Origins of Handwriting' to 'Casting Bones with Flames', every exhibition provides opportunities for in-depth learning and expanding knowledge. Therefore, we cherish every guided tour and are willing to pass on the artistic nourishment provided by the museum to the audience. Thank you for the teachers' concern and affirmation, as well as for the encouragement and help from our partners. Glittering light, illuminating the road ahead, continue to walk hand in hand in 2026

Lan Guiying: Thank you for the careful arrangement of the museum and the thoughtful curation of every exhibition. The support behind it is touching. We are like flowers, perhaps the fragrance we inadvertently emit has infected others. The process itself does not require deliberate pursuit, but we have gained a lot. We are grateful for meeting each other.

Deng Yun  As a member of the volunteer team, I have experienced guided tours for multiple exhibitions such as' Long Wind for Thousands of Miles', 'People's Scenery', 'Tracing the Origin of Handwriting', 'Lei Guiyuan Design Exhibition', and 'Embracing the Past and Present: Dawn Art Exhibition'. From traditional hanging paintings to audio-visual displays, the exhibitions at the museum are all very exciting. The Guanshanyue Art Museum is not only about Guanshanyue, but also about many art masters whose spiritual guidance is our inner driving force. Although I was unable to visit the team building site in person, I could still feel everyone's joy through the screen. It is the love of art that brings us together. We look forward to traveling with everyone next year and also look forward to closing the museum to bring more exciting exhibitions.

Wu Jingdong  Sincere thanks to Guan Shanyue Art Museum for organizing team building activities for volunteers and providing a high-quality platform for spreading and promoting Lingnan culture. As volunteers, while we draw nourishment from excellent culture and art, we also gain happiness in the process of spreading culture and improving ourselves. The Guanshan Yue Art Museum is a blessed land, where volunteering for service brings a sense of gratitude.

Did Teacher Wu Jingdong also share? My opinion on 'guided tours'? A few suggestions that resonate and inspire all volunteers:

Widely read Understand the basic knowledge and overall overview of the guided field.

Devote yourself to studying? Approaching the guide content and its author, understanding people and discussing paintings, in order to achieve accurate information transmission.

Repeated exhibitions  Gain a deep understanding of the curator's intentions and exhibition context.

Study and appreciate Read and analyze professional art appreciation articles more often.

Guiding by material Develop diverse guided tours for different audience groups.

Passionate investment  The guide needs to be passionate and satisfied in order to infect others.

Language refinement Guide language should be accurate, clean, and infectious.

Thank you again to every volunteer for their dedication and support to Guan Shanyue Art Museum. Let us continue to work together and create win-win outcomes, uphold the concept of "professional service, happy sharing", and use accurate, concise, and moving language to convey the beauty of art, jointly writing a more brilliant tomorrow for the art museum.
