At the donation ceremony, the children put on a show at the nursing home and did some fitness dance with the seniors.

Aging of the population has become a serious social problem in recent years. It requires the whole society to care more about senior citizens, especially those who have no family and live alone. Respecting elders is a traditional moral value in China. All sectors of society should make their own efforts to give senior citizens a sense of security, belonging, and worthiness.
