China has officially entered an aging society, with over 310 million people aged 60 and above. This significant demographic shift accounts for 22 percent of the country's total population.
In an effort to understand the real-life implications of this trend, CGTN's Li Zhao visited a local nursing center in her community compound in Beijing. During her visit, Li Zhao interacted with the residents, observed the daily routines, and assessed the facilities provided to support the elderly.
The visit highlighted the challenges and opportunities that come with caring for a growing elderly population. From healthcare services to social engagement activities, the nursing center aims to provide a comfortable and supportive environment for its residents.
As China continues to navigate this demographic transition, the experiences of these nursing centers offer valuable insights into the country's strategies for elder care and the broader implications for society.
