Everyone gathered around the elderly to chat casually. They listened patiently as the seniors talked about their past lives, and asked detailed questions about their daily meals, living conditions, mobility and physical health. They reminded the elders to wear more clothes when the seasons change and pay attention to fire and electricity safety at home.

For seniors who live alone all year round with little company from their relatives, the volunteers spoke slowly and listened attentively. Their gentle words drove away the desolation of the old house. The elders opened up about the loneliness of having no one to talk to on ordinary days, filled with deep emotion in their voices.
