On the morning of 15th June, the General Branch Secretary, committee members and Branch Secretaries of our school came to Yihe Nursing Home in Yingjiang District to carry out the Party Day activity with the theme of ‘Sending Warmth and Offering Love’ to carry forward the traditional virtues of respecting, caring for and helping the elderly and take concrete actions to welcome the successful opening of the 20th CPC National Congress. Also in attendance was Anqing Foreign Language School’s President Madam Huang Wenli.
To be specific, President Chen of Yihe Nursing Home warmly received us, who initially introduced the basic situation of the nursing home to us. Afterwards, we sent gifts for the old people, chatted with them, and carefully asked the elderly about their daily life, diet and health. The old people expressed their happiness and thanked everyone for their interest in their life. Additionally, the environment of the nursing home was clean and tidy, and the arrival of the party members made the whole nursing home permeated with a warm and peaceful atmosphere. Looking at the old people with bright smiles on their faces, the party members present felt warm in their hearts.
As the saying goes, ‘respect the elderly in your family as well as you respect the elderly of other families.’ Thus, caring for the elderly is a social responsibility. What’s more, this activity not only made the old people feel the care of the party members, enhanced the party members' sense of social responsibility and dedication, but also was the concrete performance of our party members' active response to the spirit of civilized practice in the new era.
