The Digua Community, Chinese for "Sweet Potato Community," is a renovation product of basement dwellings made by Chinese artist Zhou Zishu. The former shabby and sunless underground place had undergone a year's makeover since 2015. When reopened, it dazzled people with its creative and modern interior. The community, installed with central ventilation system, has several functional blocks, including reading block, library block, shared living room, private film theatre, tea bar, gym block and classrooms. All these functions were decided by ballot of adjacent residents. Since the founding of the Digua Community, changes have emerged among neighbors, who interact more through donating tea and books to the newly-renovated center. (Xinhua/Ju Huanzong)
