For Chen Sheng, a young man in Meitan, Guizhou Province, caring for the elderly is more than a job—it's a calling. Chen Sheng was raised by his grandparents, and his dream was to take care of more elderly people. After graduating in 2017 with a degree in health care, Chen Sheng completed eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work in a nursing home.
In his early working days, the challenges he faced were more than expected. He got up at 6 a.m. to help with morning tasks. He provided full bedside care, especially for the elderly who had to stay in bed all the time. Often, his day didn't end until 11 p.m. He wanted to quit at first, but after a period, the warmth and trust he received from the elderly changed his mind.
Using his medical knowledge, Chen Sheng takes care of the elderly in a proper way, including physical examination, health guidance and advice on food. "I arrived at the nursing home with lots of illnesses and could only lie in bed. After two months of good care by Chen Sheng, I was able to walk again by myself. Life here is very convenient, from satisfying daily services to good medical care, just like at home," said Grandpa Li.
Besides medical care, Chen Sheng also gives emotional support. He always offers comfort in time when a grandpa or a grandma is upset. Grandma Sun likes to talk with Chen Sheng every day and always shares things she considers valuable. Grandma Sun feels warm and happy because of Chen Sheng. Her family thanks him for his patience and compassion.
As the needs for elderly care continue to grow, more and more young people, including those born after 2000, have come to work in the nursing home. They are making every effort to take good care of the elderly and make them live a happy life.

对于贵州湄潭的年轻人陈胜来说，照顾老人不仅仅是一份工作，更是一种使命。陈胜是由祖父母抚养长大的，他的梦想是照顾更多的老人。2017年，陈胜获得医疗护理专业学位后，在当地一家医院完成了8个月的培训，然后开始在一家养老院工作。
在工作初期，他面临的挑战超出了预期。他早上6点起床，帮忙做晨间工作。他提供全面的床边护理，尤其是对那些不得不一直卧床的老人。通常，他的一天直到晚上11点才结束。一开始他想辞职，但过了一段时间，他从老人们那里得到的温暖和信任改变了他的想法。
陈胜运用自己的医学知识，以恰当的方式照顾老人，包括体检、健康指导和饮食建议。“我来到养老院时身患多种疾病，只能躺在床上。经过陈胜两个月的精心照顾，我又能自己走路了。这里的生活非常方便，从令人满意的日常服务到良好的医疗护理，就像在家里一样。”李爷爷说。
除了医疗护理，陈胜还给予情感支持。当爷爷奶奶们心烦意乱时，他总是及时给予安慰。孙奶奶喜欢每天和陈胜聊天，总是分享她认为有价值的事情。因为陈胜，孙奶奶感到温暖和幸福。她的家人感谢他的耐心和同情心。
随着养老需求的不断增长，越来越多的年轻人，包括那些2000年以后出生的人，来到这家养老院工作。他们正竭尽全力照顾好老人，让他们过上幸福的生活。
