   Watch chess without saying anything ―― Be civilized in the chess room.


  Last night (9th), Zhang Yongyuan, who worked in the construction site of Hongshan Jiayuan near the East Second Ring Road in Beijing, had dinner, changed his tooling, washed up and rushed to the night school with his workmates. At 7 o’clock sharp, the evening school will show movies on time; At the same time, the computer room, karaoke room and book reading room are also open. Zhang Yongyuan from Anhui and several fellow villagers have a good place to go after work. 


  In April this year, with the start of Hongshan Home Project, the evening school for migrant workers was established and officially opened in June. Hongshan Jiayuan is the only affordable directional resettlement housing project on the second ring road, which is mainly used to resettle the relocated residents in Qianmen historical and cultural protection area, with a total construction area of more than 1.44 million square meters. It is a key project at two levels in the urban area. At present, more than 3000 migrant workers from Anhui, Henan, Jiangsu and other places are fighting on the construction site. In order to make the peasant brothers in Beijing master the knowledge and skills of safe construction as soon as possible and enrich their spare time, Chongwen District Urban Construction and Development Company has established the largest night school for migrant workers in Beijing.


  The night school for migrant workers has three electronic classrooms, which can accommodate nearly 900 people to attend classes and watch movies at the same time. There are 3,000 books and nearly 6,000 magazines in 18 reading rooms. 12 computers in 2 computer rooms for migrant workers to surf the Internet and play games; Seven karaoke rooms are equipped with advanced karaoke sound; Ten chess rooms are available for dozens of people to play chess at the same time. In addition, basketball courts, volleyball courts and badminton courts have been built around the night school. In the near future, the night school is also planning to build a medical station for migrant workers with nearly 300 square meters and 14 consulting rooms and wards. Every night, the four staff members of the evening school perform their respective duties, welcome migrant workers into the school for study and entertainment on time, and serve them enthusiastically. According to their own interests and hobbies, migrant workers play chess, read books, surf the Internet and sing songs at night schools. In the past six months, due to the constant changes in jobs, migrant workers have gone wave after wave, but they all regard evening classes as their "home" in Beijing.


  It is reported that with the start of the Hongshan Home Project next spring, the construction team here will be expanded to 20,000 people, and the night school for migrant workers will be "bursting". Vivian Chow, vice president of the evening school, said: "We will further strengthen the organization and management, and work out a study and entertainment plan that is more in line with the needs and interests of peasant brothers, so that everyone can increase their knowledge and enjoy happiness in the evening school."
