Li Manhua, We are getting old.

Li Nainai, 83, lives alone. Her only hope every day is to wait for her children to have dinner with her at the weekend.

President Wang of Beijing Qin 'an Community Construction Association is 80 years old this year. He thinks that providing for the aged in China is a big problem. He put forward the idea of providing for the aged 20 years ago and has been working hard for this idea.

In a private sanatorium far away from Beijing, most of the residents are seriously ill patients with Alzheimer's disease. They are a group of old people who come to the end of their lives, surrounded by the smell of death, and the people who get along with them day and night are defending their final dignity.

This private nursing home, which was established 1 1 year, has always faced the difficulties of funds and talents, and is often on the verge of bankruptcy. Since 2008, I have shelved the second female film that will be started soon, and decided to shoot a series of documentaries and films with the theme of providing for the aged in five years.

People around you said they didn't understand or even objected. You are not old enough to provide for the aged. Why are you interested in the theme of providing for the aged?

The community where I live is a new community with many young people. When going out for a walk, the most common scene is a baby, followed by four adults or even six adults.

This kind of ostentation and extravagance is amazing, but it soon became clear that these babies are the "only second generation"! As a "unique generation", the post-80s generation has already become parents!

When the second generation was born, it was a super baby competed by six adults, and three families put all their financial resources and energy into this baby.

Corresponding to the beloved "second generation" is an amazing number. At present, there are 654.38+76 million elderly people in China, and the number is increasing by 8 million every year.

China, with the speed of running, has entered a comprehensive aging.

China's first generation of only children is faced with raising four old people.

The "second generation" has to face a more severe fact. They will raise 6- 12 elderly people in the future.

For thousands of years, the traditional family pension mode of "raising children to prevent old age" in China has been unable to adapt to the situation of rapid aging.

I couldn't help crying when I accidentally saw a poem written by a nursing home.

Our parents who love us the most in the world are getting old, and we are all getting old. What should we do?

A piece of news made me feel sad: in February 2008, an empty nester died at home for many days, and it was not discovered until the child went home to visit relatives.

This incident gave me a great shock, and I decided to do something for the elderly.

What is the biggest pension dilemma in China at present? What do the elderly need most at each stage? How can we provide for the aged in the future?
