According to the Gangu County Rong Media Center, "Now that the national policy is good, the atmosphere of caring for the elderly in the whole society is getting stronger and stronger. Uncle Li, who was doing warm-up exercises, said excitedly. "We are very happy to celebrate with so many friends on Chung Yeung Festival."
The golden autumn and October are cool, and the ninety-nine words are chongyang. On October 10, Gangu County held the "Love in Chongyang and Warm Hebei City" - the 2024 "I Accompany the Elderly to Chongyang" New Era Civilization Practice Activity, where the elderly from all walks of life gathered together to carry out a variety of activities to celebrate their festival together.
Tianmen Mountain is breezy in autumn, the sun is melting, and the scenery along the way is picturesque, so that the elderly friends will not want to return. From time to time, they stop to enjoy the view, take pictures, and share this rare joy with family and friends. In the process of ascending, they encouraged each other, sang loudly, went hand in hand, and interpreted the life attitude and spirit of unity and mutual assistance with practical actions.
"The Chung Yeung Festival is also my birthday, I am very happy to be able to climb the mountain with my sisters, this birthday is so meaningful, not only to exercise my body, but also to feel the beauty of nature. Looking at the smiling faces of my sisters, I feel very happy. I hope that every Chung Yeung Festival in the future, we can spend it together and enjoy this wonderful time together. Niu Xiaolan of the County Martial Arts Association said happily.
Singing and laughing all the way, taking care of all the way. The volunteers intimately supported the elderly, always paid attention to their physical condition, talked with them about social changes, recalled their youth, and told the traditional customs and stories of Chongyang, so that the elderly could feel a strong festive atmosphere and warm care in every detail.
"I feel very honored to be a volunteer for mountaineering activities during this Chung Yeung Festival, and this event has made us more deeply realize that respecting the elderly is not just a slogan, but to practice with practical actions to convey this love and care." Dong Gaiping, a volunteer from Anyuan Town Health Center, said seriously.
After the mountaineering activity, the county New Era Civilization Practice Center also organized volunteers to carry out civilized practice activities such as "I send calligraphy and paintings to the elderly, I take a photo for the elderly, I accompany the elderly to do homework, I send health to the elderly, I accompany the elderly to watch performances, and I accompany the elderly to talk about family style". "Through such activities, we will further promote the traditional virtues of filial piety and respect for the elderly of the Chinese nation, create a good atmosphere for the whole society to pay attention to the physical and mental health of the elderly, and continuously improve the sense of gain and happiness of the elderly." The person in charge of the county New Era Civilization Practice Center said.
In recent years, Gangu County has carried out a wide range of civilization practice activities in a way that the masses like to see, giving full play to the role of the civilization practice center (institute and station) in the new era in uniting the masses, guiding the masses, and caring for the masses, and opening up the "last mile" to serve the masses.
Also in the nursing home, volunteers also prepared wonderful cultural performances and delicious dumpling feasts for the elderly. Before the dumpling feast began, some volunteers gave haircuts to the elderly, and some actively participated in kneading dough, rolling skins, and kneading dumplings...... The old people enjoy a happy slow time in the warm afternoon sun.
"Today is the Chung Yeung Festival, and the daughters-in-law and children in the village have come to help, just hoping that the old people will have a good time eating here." Villager Sun Ping expressed her feelings while recording this beautiful moment with a camera. In the evening, the old people of the whole village shared the dumpling feast, and the town and village cadres served dumplings and sent blessings to the elderly. Everyone praises the party's kindness, respects the elderly, and spreads virtue and filial piety.
Loving and respecting the elderly is a traditional virtue passed down from generation to generation by the Chinese nation, and it is also a cultural gene flowing in the blood of the Chinese people, and it is also an important part of the construction of spiritual civilization in the new era. The elderly are the precious wealth of the society, they have made great contributions to the progress of the society with their wisdom and diligence, we should be grateful, remember their dedication and hard work. I believe that in the days to come, we will practice this virtue with practical actions, so that the wind of love and respect for the elderly will always blow on the land of China.
