In the heart of Beijing, Courtyard No. 27 stands as a vibrant activity center dedicated to enriching the lives of the elderly. Founded by Niu Ruixue, an artistic soul with a deep affection for the city, this courtyard resonates with the laughter and voices of two generations.
Niu Ruixue has ingeniously created programs like “Inter-generational Cosplay” and the 300-year-old Lantern Festival “Myriad of Lights” that foster meaningful connections between fashionable youths and the elderly residents. These initiatives not only bridge the generational gap but also inject new life into the old alleyways of Beijing.
Thanks to passionate individuals like Niu, the hutongs of Beijing are rapidly transforming into modern cultural oases. Courtyard No. 27 exemplifies how community-driven efforts can preserve tradition while embracing contemporary cultural trends, making it a beacon of hope and harmony in the bustling metropolis.
