On May 8, CCTV-12 Social and Law Channel's "Sunset Red" column broadcast "Sunset Red - Shared Grandma in the Community", which lasted for 27 minutes, focusing on the "Shared Grandma" volunteer team of Qingquan Community, Dongqianhu Town, Yinzhou District.
Why has "shared grandma" attracted national attention many times? How can this two-way rush of love go further?
One
Hearing that CCTV was going to broadcast "Sharing Grandma", the grandmothers in the community stayed in front of the TV early.
Looking at their own stories on TV, some grandmothers showed a relieved smile, some grandmothers picked up their mobile phones to record, and some grandmothers laughed with tears.

Yuan Peijun is the representative of the "Sharing Grandma" volunteer team who walked into the CCTV studio this time, and she is also the first "first grandmother" in the community to help pick up and drop off children, which is the starting point of this love action.
At the end of 2018, after learning that her grandson's classmate Xiaoxiao had encountered a pick-up problem, the enthusiastic Grandma Yuan began to help with the pick-up, which lasted for more than five years.
Because of Grandma Yuan's kindness, the two families became a family, smiling and affectionately calling her "grandma", and she also loved the child like a grandmother.
Later, driven by Grandma Yuan, a new grandmother joined. In 2019, the community organization took the lead in carrying out the "Sharing Grandma" volunteer mutual aid service project, combining "one old and one young" to help local dual-income families pick up and drop off their children in the form of a five-person shift system.
Every school day, these grandmothers in red vests will go to the entrance of kindergartens and primary schools, holding up pick-up signs and waiting for their children to leave school, rain or shine.
Over the past five years, the "shared grandmothers" have escorted more than 600 children from school. The cute smiling faces of the children enrich the grandmothers' later life, and the children of dual-income families also have a group of "grandmothers" who are not related by blood but are like relatives.
From one person to 58 people, with more than 200 social workers and volunteers behind them, the "Sharing Grandma" volunteer service team is growing stronger and stronger, with a total of more than 22,000 hours of volunteer service, and at the most, nearly 50 children are picked up and dropped off in a day.
"I have a grandmother, she is not my real grandmother, but she is the most beautiful grandmother I have ever met." "You've worked hard, I love you." "Every time I spend time with my grandmothers, I feel warm and happy." …… In the program, the children's heartfelt thanks are the greatest recognition of them.
"Sharing grandma" is sharing the warmth of the world.
Two
In fact, this is not the first time that "Sharing Grandma" has appeared in the central media.
People's Daily, CCTV News, Xinhua Daily Telegraph and other central media WeChat public accounts have published the deeds of "sharing grandma", and every time relevant news is issued, it will swipe the Internet, and many netizens are "envious of their real names" in the message: "Such warm volunteers are really great", "I hope our community can also have it", "Such an excellent public welfare project that is beneficial to the society is recommended to be promoted nationwide"......
Why has "Sharing Grandma" attracted the attention of tens of millions of netizens many times?
Behind it is the "pain point" of the social mutual aid system - it is difficult to pick up and take care of children from dual-income families.
Taking Qingquan Community in Dongqian Lake Town as an example, there are 428 families with children under the age of 13, of which 372 families are unable to pick up and drop off their children for various reasons, accounting for 87%, and the daily pick-up and companionship of children has become their trouble.
The elders can't help with pick-up, it's hard to balance between picking up babies and work, and it's hard to find a reliable childcare class...... These practical problems have made the pick-up and care of children in dual-income families a big problem, and even become a gap for some dual-income families who dare not have babies.
The emergence of "shared grandma" solves such embarrassment.
The children are taken to the community women's and children's station by the grandmothers after school, where not only are the children of the same age playing together, but the grandmothers will also patiently accompany them, tell stories, help them with homework, and even teach the children skills such as intangible cultural heritage production, piano playing, and paper-cutting art.
The children had a happy and fulfilling time here, and the parents who were far away from the workplace were also at ease.

Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in your hands. While solving the problem of picking up and dropping off children in dual-income families, the "shared grandmother" effectively alleviates the anxiety of some elderly groups whose value cannot be continued, has nowhere to rely on emotionally, and has nowhere to spend time, and gives full play to their residual heat.
What's even more heartwarming is that in daily interactions, children can pass on happiness to these old people; When the grandmothers are sick, the children's parents scramble to drive them to the hospital for treatment; The community also gave the "grandmothers" a series of volunteer benefits, including home care for the elderly, home delivery, medical escort and other services.
The community has become a happy family, and the mutual assistance of "one old and one young" has made the whole community surging with a warm current, and it has increased the family affection between neighbors, and love is running in both directions.
The kindness of "sharing grandma" has also been praised by experts. He Zhenbiao, a professor at the School of Media and Law at Ningbo Institute of Technology, Zhejiang University, believes that the "sharing grandmother" pick-up and drop-off of children reflects a kind of folk wisdom of social self-regulation, reflecting the current situation that some of the people's needs cannot be met.
In some places, a large number of phased and short-term part-time college students will be born, and some communities in Ningbo have also launched the "official baby" model in a timely manner, but this special period of response measures can not solve the daily needs of residents, so "sharing grandma" came into being.
"Sharing Grandma" is the product of the civilized cities of Ningbo and Yinzhou, the result of mutual assistance by citizens, and the service gap that is spontaneously filled by citizens.
In the special column of CCTV's "Sunset Red", He Chao, the host of the reading program of the Central People's Radio and one of the top ten reading figures in the country, said that the transformation of the role of "sharing grandma" is the embodiment of the small self to the big me, which is not only a public welfare project, but also planted the seeds of love in the hearts of the children, and the behavior of the grandmothers makes the children feel warm, which is the charm of "sharing grandma".
Three
Big hands hold small hands, one with white hair, the other with children.
The identity of "grandma" has come out of the inherent family situation and is shared by more children.
For parents, the problem of pick-up and drop-off care is easily solved; For grandmothers, they found their self-worth in exerting their spare heat; For the community, a self-directed "old and young" mutual aid model has been formed, which has also allowed more community residents to change from "spectators" to "participants".
"Sharing Grandma" is out of the circle, but in the encouragement and praise, we will also hear such voices: Will there be safety issues during the pick-up and drop-off process? In the event of an accident such as a bump, how can the kindness of grandmothers be respected and understood?
The "Sharing Grandma" volunteer service team made some attempts.
In order to ensure the safety of children after school, the community, schools, and traffic police have worked together to create the "most beautiful road to school". In order to avoid disputes and let the "grandmothers" have no worries, the community signed a "love pact" with the parents, so that love flows within the rules......

In the future, how can "Sharing Grandma" go further? And how can this love be passed on and continued for a longer time?
The "Sharing Grandma" volunteer service can be further extended and upgraded.
Volunteer service projects can be integrated into these positions, using social resources and strength to provide children with "one-stop" services such as learning guidance, activity development, education and training, etc., expanding a new scene of social co-construction, and continuing to write the "second half of the article" of "sharing grandma" after school pick-up.
"Sharing Grandma" actively participates in community service, picking up and accompanying children for parents free of charge, and their kindness should also be "reciprocated with love".
Nowadays, grandmothers are generally in their 60s and 70s, and they are also powerless for a day. If the "time bank" method can be used to deposit the volunteer service time of the "shared grandmothers" into the "time bank", and when they need to be taken care of by others, they can also get the services provided by community volunteers, which can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the "grandmothers" and attract more silver-haired volunteers to join them, so that this exploration of mutual aid society has lasting vitality and vitality.
