Senior volunteers discover new meaning in life

China Daily | Updated: 2020-10-26 00:00

Sun Hongyin got up at around 5 am on Friday and bought 70 pork chops and 3 kilograms of shrimp to prepare "longevity noodles" for the elderly in her community to celebrate the traditional Double Ninth Festival.

The festival, also known as the Chongyang Festival in China, fell on Sunday this year. It is an occasion to care for and send blessings to the elderly throughout China.

But in Shanghai, instead of waiting for others to care for them, some seniors including Sun chose to devote their time and energy to those older than themselves and find new meaning in life through mutual help.
