A Qingdao Retirement Home

Chinese society is aging at a furious pace. Due to its inadequate social security system, the nation now faces a major issue of providing care for the elderly. For the first time, the camera was allowed into the nursing home in Qingdao, where the aging rate is 18%. Already, around 500 elderly people, each with different backgrounds, live here, and there are still many more on the waiting-list. This program portrays the reality of the rapidly aging Chinese society with a focus on the lives of senior citizens at the nursing home.
