Kind Principal Huang
Ninety-two-year-old Grandma Huang used to be the principal of Shijia Hutong Primary School and has been living in Kang Yuxuan for more than three years. Although dementia (Alzheimer's disease) has seriously damaged my grandmother's memory, and sometimes even her family members cannot recognize it, but the companionship of family, professional care, and the warm environment of home still allow grandma to retain her humorous conversation and love of life.

Teacher Cai Guoqing is here!
In mid-November, braving the drizzle of early winter, the famous singer Cai Guoqing came to Kang Yuxuan and accompanied Grandma Huang for two days of happy time.
Mr. Cai Guoqing visited this time as a guest of CCTV's "Walking on the Way Home" program. The purpose of the program "Walking Home" is to record the original aspirations and dreams of famous artists and help them find their way home.
Outstanding talent and hard work have made Mr. Cai Guoqing reap the success of his career and become a household name, but at the same time, severe dementia has also taken away his mother's precious memory little by little, and he no longer even recognizes his son, which has also become Mr. Cai Guoqing's inner pain.

Witness a moment of miracle
Although it was the first time to meet Grandma Huang, Grandma Huang's kind face and humorous words made Teacher Cai Guoqing feel the warmth of a mother, and he naturally sang the old songs of the Spring Festival Gala "Always Go Home to See" and "365 Blessings". The familiar melody instantly brought Grandma Huang to the memory of having a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with her family and watching the Spring Festival Gala...
"Cai Guoqing!"
Grandma Huang, who once said, "I don't know who you are", blurted out.
At this moment, including Mr. Cai Guoqing, everyone present witnessed the miracle of music helping the elderly with dementia to regain their memories!

Activate your brain with music
Such miracles often happen at Kang Yuxuan's site.
Kangyuxuan's music activities are diverse, in addition to karaoke sessions, multi-part choruses, and the most popular Boone music therapy from Sweden. The easy-to-operate musical instruments and easy-to-understand conductor gestures allow the elderly to follow the conductor for a variety of activities such as singing, body movement, and instrument playing.
In the activities, we found that some elderly people's language function declined, and they could not find suitable words when speaking, but they were able to sing familiar songs completely and fluently; some elderly people's daily activity ability declined, and their movements were slow, but they could play musical instruments to the rhythm, their eyes looked at the conductor, they sang in their mouths, and they had to mobilize their left and right hands to play musical instruments; some elderly people were easy to be anxious and wandering, but when they participated in Boone's music activities, they were engaged in the whole process, and all the anxiety symptoms disappeared.
These examples prove that regular participation in Boone music activities can help the elderly activate the still healthy parts of the body and brain, so that the value of life can be reflected, and the power to resist aging and dementia can be obtained.
