Nurse dedicates career to helping elderly

GUIYANG — For Chen Sheng, caring for the elderly is more than a job — it's a heartfelt calling rooted in his upbringing with his grandparents.

After graduating in 2017 with a degree in clinical care from Guizhou Vocational College of Industry and Commerce, Chen completed an eight-month internship at the Guizhou Provincial People's Hospital in Guiyang, capital of Guizhou province. Thanks to his patience and professionalism, he rotated through eight departments and was named an outstanding intern in seven of them.

After working as a hospital nurse, Chen shifted to an elderly care center in Guiyang in 2018. What he encountered in his early days was far more demanding than expected.
