Staff at a local community show care and love to empty nesters by preparing "family reunion dinner" for Spring Festival in Lianyungang, east China's Jiangsu Province.

The meals are delivered directly to each empty nester's house with New Year wishes.

The act is aimed at making empty nesters feel the warmth and festive spirit of Spring Festival though their children are not around.

It is a time-honored Chinese tradition to prepare "family reunion dinner" on the eve of the Spring Festival, which falls on January 24 this year. Family members would share stories about past year and make wishes for the new year.
