Migrant workers in the development area were treated to Laba porridge, received Spring Festival goods, underwent physical examinations, and even enjoyed haircuts at the market.

One of the migrant workers, a woman surnamed Niu from Huai'an, Jiangsu, expressed her delight with the pop-up market, saying that care and attention provided by numerous volunteers made her feel warm during these chilly days.
