Sanxiang Metropolis Daily, October 23 (all-media reporter Yang Yu video Yang Yu) "I am concerned about the problem of the elderly left behind in rural areas, with a large number of rural laborers entering the city to work, such elderly people are facing the dilemma of not being sick. Today, at the first meeting of the sixth congress of The Tianxin District of Changsha City, Tang Junjie, a deputy to the district people's congress, sent the bill he prepared to reporters, "I suggest building a loving canteen for the left-behind elderly in rural areas." ”

Tang Junjie said that when he was engaged in volunteers, he found that the living source of the rural left-behind elderly mainly depends on labor income and children's supply, taking Tianxin District as an example, about 80% of the left-behind elderly are engaged in agricultural and sideline production to varying degrees, and many elderly people still insist on cultivating the land. Once sick, life will be difficult, and life care will depend mainly on oneself or one's spouse. These elderly people are separated from their children, their spiritual life is very scarce, and if they encounter a sudden accident, they are helpless.
How can I mitigate these issues? Tang Junjie suggested that the government can build a demonstration point for the love canteen help of the left-behind elderly in rural areas, and gradually promote it with points and faces. At the same time, we will support the growth of rural professional social organizations, cultivate rural social service talents, carry out colorful cultural and sports entertainment activities, and help the elderly increase their interests and hobbies. Explore the participation of professional forces in social work, focusing on solving problems such as mental emptiness, lack of care, and psychological crisis for the left-behind elderly. In addition, through the opening of love canteens, it can also provide employment and income-generating opportunities for rural special hardship cases, such as signing vegetable and egg and poultry purchase agreements with poor households, providing waiters, food delivery workers and other employment positions, and achieving a good transition from precision poverty alleviation to rural revitalization.
