Wang Jingyu finds the active involvement of young people in aiding the visually impaired quite impressive. He notes that most employees at the Dalian center are under 40 years old, with those aged 26 to 30 constituting 40 percent of the staff.

Additionally, college and high school students visit the center annually to learn about guide dogs and participate in volunteer work.
