Aging has become a global phenomenon affecting nearly every country worldwide. In China, more than 300 million people are aged 60 and above, accounting for 22% of the total population. How is China coping with such a rapidly aging society?

China's community-based elderly care model offers the solution. Breaking from traditional practices, it goes beyond basic care to elevate seniors' quality of life. Rather than relocating the elderly to care facilities, it brings support straight to the people — support not just for living, but for living better. It stands as a vivid and exemplary practice of China's distinctive approach to elderly care.
