Lychewan is Xiguan of guangzhou in the past, with typical architectural style, life style, Xiguan culture, and Cantonese Opera culture of old Guangzhou. There are now 13 scenic spots in the Area, they are representa�ve of old Guangzhou culture.

The Guangzhou government is commi�ed to developing cultural tourism in the Area, but the scenic area is visited by more local residents than tourists, and many people do not know about Xiguan culture.

30%

47.5%

Almost of tourists s�ll know li�le about xiguan culture a�er visi�ng this Area.

The attraction of Lychewan Area is relatively low. And few tourists know about the related culture, even after visiting.

•Lack of cultural propaganda •Scenic culture has no core •There are many former residences of famous people

Findings

Discoveries

We spent a day walking around a lot of places in the scenic area. We were not clear about the distribution of scenic spots, which led to a lot of detours. We were very �red and forgot the places we had been to. And not sure where to go next a�er visi�ng a des�na�on.

1. Too many scenic spots make tourists feel confused

Xiguan House

Wen Tower

2. Various services but lack guidance and attraction 3. Many inheritors of Guangzhou intangible culture 4. Boring cultural introduc�on

5. Not convenient for tourists with children

Problem statement There are many scenic spots in Lychiwan Area, but there is no core, and it lacks attraction and route guidance.

A has good grades, TEM-4 certiﬁcate and Merit Student

So she got six tags

When she entered, the doorsill was low

B has fewer tags, so the doorsill is high, she felt stimulated.

“I think this is a very good way to represent ‘education involution’, and it makes me understand this phenomenon intuitively.”

Use wooden s�cks and paper as a doorsill

Final product: “ INVO-Doorsill”

•The installation is effective. It can let “Involution-ers” feel empathy and realize their “Involution” situation.

Then B began to try to get more tags, even learning when walking

Finally, she got more various tags

The doorsill became very low

She flet confident and come to find A to compare and show off

LEFT THE WELL-BEING FOR THE LEFT-BEHIND

LEFT THE WELL-BEING FOR THE LEFT-BEHIND is a teamwork game for Chinese left-behind children to improve their learning and well-being

The left-behind children(in China)

Problems that most left-behind children tend to encounter?

In 2019, I went to Jiangmen city, Guangdong Province to support teaching. During this process, I met a special group, left-behind children. Their parents are absent in their daily lives.

Teacher Interview

A�er the previous research, I came to Hecheng Primary School in Jiangmen to ﬁeld research and further inves�gate in these four aspects .

To know more details about the le�-behind children from the four perspec�ves men�oned before, I interviewed three teachers.

WWWWCC Left-behind children refer to rural registered minors under the age of 16 whose parents work out or one of whose parents work out of town and the other has no guardianship ability and cannot live with their parents normally(in China).

Le�-behind children have emo�onal problems such as high pressure, low self-esteem and lack of security

Typical Issues & Research Interview & Research

Here are some detailed problems in Education and psychology

Education Issues Caused by Psychology Low learning enthusiasm.

“Le�-behind children tend to

be more sensi�ve and self-abased, easily feeling that others look down on them

WWWWCC Suicide

1. Compared with children from ordinary families, le�-behind children may have psychological problems: withdrawn, emo�onal problems, high pressure, more sensi�ve, and weak social communica�on skills. 2. There will also be diﬀerences in education: low par�cipa�on in class, low learning quality, low learning enthusiasm and less �me to study. 3. These can lead to a low level of well-being for them.
