Print Edition
Seventy-six-year-old grandma Liang is going to a handiwork class in the afternoon with grandma Wang, who is 90. Meanwhile, grandpa Han is organizing a new performance of their choir.
Through participating in activities organized by the nursing home called Sui Yuan, in southwest Beijing鈥檚 Fangshan District, the elderly receive 鈥渃oins of happiness鈥 from a 鈥渂ank of happiness鈥 program developed by the institution.
Zhang Yin, who is involved in the operation of the program, said every elderly person has an 鈥渁ccount book of the bank of happiness.鈥 They can deposit their 鈥渃oins of happiness鈥 into their 鈥渂ank accounts鈥 and buy products such as desserts, beverages and everyday articles with the coins.
The activities in this home for the aged include handiwork classes, choir performances, classes on how to use WeChat and watching films.
The program enables the elderly people to experience again the process of 鈥渕aking money, saving money and spending money.鈥 The total number of people aged 60 and above was 250 million by the end of 2018.
