On the morning of October 11, the Wentai Community of Baixi Street carried out the theme activity of "Love Wentai and Share Happiness", and carefully prepared a collective birthday party for the elderly over 60 years old.
Accompanied by the sound of light music, volunteers put on birthday hats for the elderly, and everyone sang birthday songs in unison, with happy smiles on their faces. Then, everyone made a wish, shared the cake, and shared the happiness. In a warm atmosphere, community party members and volunteers also sent birthday wishes to the elderly.
At the event, the representatives of the elderly in the community and the teachers of the art training school also brought songs, dances, recitations and other wonderful programs to the residents, which made people dizzy, and the elderly watched with relish and joy.
"I am so happy to be able to celebrate my birthday with so many elderly friends, and I feel very happy. This Chung Yeung Festival is very meaningful, and I hope to spend it every year in the future. Zhou Chengyi, a resident of Wentai Community, Baixi Street, said excitedly.
Liu Changyi, a resident of Wentai Community in Baixi Street, said: "I haven't participated in such a lively event for a long time, and I am very grateful to the community for their care and care for our elderly. Today's event not only made us feel the warmth of the community, but also gave me the opportunity to communicate and share my life with other seniors, and I am very happy. ”
"Caring for the elderly is a common responsibility of the society, and today we take the opportunity of the Chung Yeung Festival to cooperate with the community to jointly hold a collective birthday party for the elderly, providing them with more care and services, and demonstrating our corporate social responsibility." Li Gang, a representative of Wentai Community Enterprise in Baixi Street, told reporters, "After that, we will continue to deepen cooperation with the community, continue to carry out activities to care for the elderly every year, and convey warmth and care through practical actions." ”
It is reported that more than 360 empty nesters over the age of 60 were invited to this collective birthday party, of which the oldest is 103 years old. Through the 2nd Yangtze River Community Cultural Festival in 2024, Wentai Community provides a platform for the elderly in the community to communicate and make them feel full of happiness.
"The elderly in Wentai community account for about 30% of the total population of the community, of which 15% are empty nesters. Today is the first time we have held a collective birthday party, hoping to let the elderly feel the care and warmth of the community, and at the same time enhance the cohesion and centripetal force of the community residents. Liu Junjie, secretary of the general party branch of Wentai Community in Baixi Street, said, "Next, we will continue to work hard to provide better services and guarantees for community residents." ”
On the day of the event, a public welfare free clinic area, a free pedicure area and a free haircut area were also set up at the site to provide free services for the elderly. Medical staff from Yibin Workers' Hospital, dental clinics and other medical institutions provided routine health check-ups, free dental consultations, free ophthalmology clinics and other services for the elderly.
