Beyond academics, Jixin actively contributes to his community through education and student-led initiatives. He co-founded a volunteer teaching club that holds weekly classes and organises activities during the winter holidays, including sports.

Jixin also founded his school’s broadcast club. The club produces videos covering international news, school updates, and sports. As a result, students can stay informed about current events and activities within their school community.
Furthermore, Jixin led a project exploring the post-Olympic use of sports venues. He wrote a 6,000-word essay that examined existing academic research and proposed strategies based on case studies. These included the Bird’s Nest in Beijing, Stadium Australia, and the Olympic Stadium in Athens. Through this work, he explored how major sporting venues can continue to serve communities after the Olympic Games.
