Amid the narrow alleys of Shekou’s Weizai community, a seemingly ordinary blue wall outside of Yulin Kindergarten has been quietly undergoing a poetic transformation, thanks to the dedicated work of Portuguese artist Maria João Príncipe.

Widely known as Majó, the artist’s public mural project is bringing a vibrant tapestry of flowers to life. It is part of a nonprofit community program, initiated early this year by the Shekou Management and Service Center for Expats (Shekou MSCE), that aims to brighten the neighborhood through artistic expression and foster a stronger sense of community.
