With the intensification of social aging, more and more elderly people demand improved quality of life, rich culture and entertainment, and happier lives. Since the beginning of this year, the presidium of the People's Congress of Shanggang Township, Xinye County, keenly feels the great responsibility, and cares about the happiness of the elderly in their later years with the spirit of daring to take responsibility and doing good deeds, especially the meal service for the elderly.
There are three meals a day, and the fireworks in the world are the warmest. In the face of the practical problem of accelerating the aging process of the population, Shanggang Township has built a "happy canteen" to solve the problem of "difficulty in eating" for the extremely poor people and the elderly in rural areas, and to further enhance the happiness and sense of belonging of the elderly with a spacious and clean environment and a wide variety of dishes. "I am very grateful to the township government and the village committee for providing such a new 'home' for our elderly, so that we can eat without worry, study and entertainment. Uncle Zhao, a villager in Wangbai Village, Shanggang Township, said happily.
The deputies of the Shanghai Hong Kong Township People's Congress think about what the masses think and do what the masses need. Through research, the representatives learned about the idea of the "five guarantees" in rural areas and the elderly in difficulty who want to enjoy a leisurely life, and actively put forward suggestions to the township government to build day care centers in Wangbai Village and Liangying Village, where the population is relatively concentrated, to open a "happy canteen", and to carry out free clinics and cultural and entertainment activities, so that more elderly people can enjoy the policy dividends. The delegates made a list of construction and put forward recipes for reference, so that the elderly can truly have a fixed place to live and have no worries about food and clothing. The two day care centers absorb a total of 33 elderly people living in extreme poverty and people in need, who enjoy free meals, accommodation and entertainment services. The delegates attach great importance to the fire safety of the day care center, and include fire safety in the deputies' inspection activities, so that the center is more standardized and the firefighters are more professional. For the elderly, the presidium of the township people's congress organized representatives to implement the "meal accompaniment system" to ensure that the elderly are well-fed, well-fed and nutritious. The representatives went to the day care center every quarter to carry out the evaluation work, which effectively improved the satisfaction of the elderly, promoted the continuous improvement of food, and formed a virtuous circle.
The deputies to the people's congress also adhered to the quarter hour system of "discussion" before meals, so that the elderly could become a group that understood the policy situation. The deputies of the National People's Congress explained the new policy and the party's innovative theory and the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China to the elderly in a timely manner. The deputies also collected the real opinions of the masses through the elderly, understood the problems and troubles of the masses, and provided reasonable suggestions for the improvement of rural work methods and methods in a timely and accurate manner. At the same time, on the basis of ensuring the dining needs of the elderly, we actively explore the "happy canteen + volunteer service" model, provide free blood pressure measurement, blood sugar measurement, various consultation and other services, create a strong atmosphere of filial piety and love for the elderly, and "add layers of code" for the happiness of the elderly.
