Double Ninth Festival, strong respect for the elderly. On October 11, the Civil Affairs Bureau of Minqin County focused on "health, joy, warmth, and characteristics" and accompanied the elderly to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival by holding a series of activities such as book donations, love lunches, cultural performances, and condolence visits.

At the book mobile station of the comprehensive elderly care service center in Sanlei Town, Minqin County, the staff of the Civil Affairs Bureau of Minqin County and the library of Minqin County sent more than 500 books and periodicals to the elderly, covering excellent books in many fields such as history, literature, health, science and technology, etc., which were warmly welcomed by the elderly friends. Here, the elderly can not only sit down and read quietly, but also register to borrow books as needed, and take their favorite books to the residence to read slowly. The Civil Affairs Bureau of Minqin County hopes to guide the elderly to enjoy their old age through reading, and strive to create a cultural atmosphere with texture, life and warmth, so that the elderly can learn and have fun.
The music is melodious and the dancing is dancing. Early in the morning, the pension service centers in Minqin County were lively, and the public welfare performance of Minqin opera kicked off. Many performers presented wonderful programs for the elderly, allowing them to spend a "cultural" Chung Yeung Festival in a strong drama.

Welcome the Double Ninth Festival and celebrate the traditional festival together. On the day of the Double Ninth Festival, the Mutual Aid and Happiness House of Changning Village, Changning Town, Minqin County was officially put into use. Walking into the Mutual Aid Happiness House, the strong smell of rice came to my nose. "Let's eat!" Volunteers carry the food delivered from the delivery window from table to table. The old people sat around the clean and tidy dining table, tasting hot meals, chatting about home cooking, and their faces were full of happy smiles.
It is understood that in view of the serious problem of rural aging and hollowing, Minqin County actively strives for practical projects for the people, and has built a total of 6 comprehensive pension service centers and 14 mutual aid and happiness homes so far to provide convenient and comfortable door-to-door pension services for the elderly, so that the elderly can realize the happy life of the elderly in their later years under the condition of "not leaving the village, not leaving home, and not leaving relatives".
