At Xingfuhui centers, every detail reflects care for the elderly. From more accessible plug sockets and segmented wardrobe designs to bedside railings, the centers are tailored to meet the needs of their residents. Daily activities include exercise sessions, massages and other entertainment activities, with special services offered during holidays and birthdays.

During this year's Chinese New Year celebrations, Xingfuhui's center in the Xincheng community in Taiyuan's Jinyuan district hosted a Spring Festival garden party and offered round-the-clock care for elderly residents with disabilities or dementia. Other services include emotional support, meal delivery, bathing assistance and free medical consultations.

Tan Lieying, a 94-year-old resident of the center, expressed her gratitude: "I feel the love and care from everyone here. The food is excellent, the staff are kind, and we have plenty of activities such as dancing and singing."

Li's dedication has not gone unnoticed. In 2023, she was elected as a deputy to the 14th Shanxi Provincial People's Congress.

"I founded the center to care for my parents," she said.

"But becoming a deputy has made me realize this is a mission and a responsibility — not just for my parents, but for all parents."

According to the National Bureau of Statistics, the number of people in China aged 60 and older last year reached 310 million, accounting for 22 percent of the population. Among them, 220 million were aged 65 and older. These figures underscore the rapid aging of China's society.
