Caring for the Elderly

"Going to a retirement home is quite a new concept for the elderly here. It goes against our traditional ideas so the older generation find it hard to accept. But the younger generation are more accepting of this idea. We can pay for our parents to go to a retirement home and we can go and visit them. I don't think it's a bad idea. "

"Because of the one child policy, it's becoming more and more difficult for younger generation to take care of the elderly, so the government should take responsibility for them. When people are young, they contribute to society so when they get old, society should help them live the rest of their lives in comfort and happiness. "

Live Right Part 63

Many elderly people will wake up before the sun has risen, but at this time the speed at which the heart beats is imbalanced and inconsistent. While walking, running or doing other activities, you may have trouble breathing, or feel somewhat out of breath. We can regulate this problem by massaging the Taiyuan Point.
With your left palm facing upwards, place your hand on your leg. At the base of your thumb you’ll find a bone which protrudes. Place the index, middle, and ring fingers of your right hand on this spot, and you’ll feel the pulse of your artery here. The spot where you feel this pulse is the Taiyuan Point.
If an elderly person has the symptoms I just described, he or she can massage the Taiyuan Point for about 2 to 3 minutes before getting out of bed, and wait for their heart rate to become more steady, then get up and get dressed. This is a very simple yet useful method, so please remember it!
Help Plan For Empty Nesters

For many years now migrant workers have flooded to China's cities looking for a better life. Recently here on BON we reported on the problem of the children that many of those workers leave behind. But at the other end of the scale are elderly parents who remain at home, sometimes ill-equipped to look after them selves.

Guiyang is the capital of one of China's poorest provinces, Guizhou. And it has its share of older people whose children have migrated to the cities – the so-called "empty nesters". Now authorities here have set up an initiative in communities around the city.

It aims to encourage neighbors to cooperate to help elderly "empty nesters". Those who live alone are asked to apply for "neighbor help cards" like this through community offices. These will then find volunteers to partner up with them and offer help when they need it.

The system has been running in the Hongyun resdienetial community for some time now.75-year-old Yu Jingyun and her husband are typical "empty nesters".

Mental Health Plan Controversy

The vice minister of Public Health, said China was determined to bloster its mental health care by building hundreds of new facilities. He said improved treatment for mentally ill patients would reduce the chance of "social disturbances", including the "recent offenses by mental patients in some areas" according to the state-owned China News website.

Earlier this year, China suffered a series of copycat attacks on kindergartens, with tens of children being stabbed to death by crazed knife men. In some of the cases, including the killing of eight children on March 23 in Fujian province, the authorities determined that the attackers had been mentally unstable.
