"The class has started", "the class has started", "the lecture has started" ......As one notice after another was passed on among the students of the Fifth Academy University for the Elderly, the old comrades' hearts blossomed.
Since the beginning of this year, dance, chorus, calligraphy and other courses have been held one after anotherUniversity for the ElderlyThe opening of classes and lectures attracted the active participation of retired veteran comrades of the Fifth AcademyIt has stimulated the enthusiasm of veteran comrades to participate in various study, cultural and sports activities, and further enriched the cultural life of retired veteran comrades
In 2023, in order to continuously meet the growing spiritual and cultural needs of retirees, the Retirement Work Center of the Five Hospitals will implement the spirit of the work meeting of the hospital, with the strong support of the relevant units of the hospitalWe should further innovate and optimize the way universities for the elderly run schools, and do practical things for veteran comrades
The whole hospital builds and shares resourcesDue to the scattered residence of the veteran comrades in the Beijing District of the Fifth Academy, the activity centers of each factory and institute are operating in a closed manner and fighting their own battles, and it is difficult to meet the needs of the vast number of veteran comrades by setting up a university for the elderly in one place. In order to solve this problem and optimize the allocation of resources, the Retirement Work Center of the Fifth Academy has integrated the resources of the universities for the elderly in various factories and institutes, realized the unified enrollment of students in Beijing District, and formed a new model of running a university for the elderly with Baishiqiao and Aerospace City as the mainstay, supplemented by the factories and schools, and sharing resources.
Multi-party cooperation to broaden the fieldThe Retirement Work Center of the Fifth Academy actively connects with social and cultural resources, successfully introduces four high-level public welfare courses from the Haidian Cultural Center and the North Hall, and cooperates to build a cultural pension station in Haidian District.
At present, the University for the Elderly has 7 activity points in the five colleges and affiliated units, according to the physical and mental development characteristics and interests of the elderlyIt has set up 19 classes in 8 majors, including dance, modeling, chorus, tai chi, calligraphy, and photography, with a total of 473 students, warmly welcomed by the old comrades.

ChoirIn the activity room of No. 102 Courtyard of the Sky City, there are laughter, vocal music, and loud singing, which is the course scene of the Tangjialing Choir Class of the University for the Elderly. The choir class is taught by a young teacher who studied under the singer Yan Weiwen, the teacher starts from the most basic pronunciation methods, breath conversion, and how to open up the pronunciation channel, and repeatedly practices the pronunciation method by singing syllables such as "hiss, woo, hoo, ah", and memorizes the lyrics through "reading, reading, and reciting", and warms up by patting each other's shoulders before class, stretching their limbs freely, and doing eight duanjin activities.
An old comrade wrote a special article to express his joy and gratitude for participating in the choir: "After retirement, life is calm and comfortable, but after participating in the choir, life is full of joy and enthusiasm. Let's continue to sing our great new era with beautiful songs!Let us tell you with a loud singing voice that there is a healthy, lively and happy old astronaut choir here!”
Painting and calligraphy classIn the calligraphy class and Chinese painting class of the University for the Elderly, the teacher started from the most basic glyphs and Chinese painting appreciation, and demonstrated and guided them hand in hand, and the students listened attentively and copied carefully.
The calligraphy class and the Chinese painting class have also become the "cultural exchange position" for calligraphy and painting lovers among the retirees, and the old friends with the same hobby of calligraphy and painting often agree to gather together in the activity center every week to learn calligraphy and painting skills, appreciate each other and exchange skills.
More coursesOther courses of the University for the Elderly have also been warmly praised by the veteran comrades, who have achieved success and made useful use of their studies here, and have also made new friends and enriched their spiritual and cultural life.
Running a university for the elderly well and developing education for the elderly is a concrete measure to thoroughly implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and an important way to ensure a happy life for veteran comrades in their old age. Subsequently, the Fifth Academy will always take the needs and interests of the vast number of veteran comrades as the starting point and end point of the retirement work, give full play to the role of the university for the elderly, and truly build the university for the elderly into a classroom for veteran comrades to learn knowledge, a stage to show their style, a place to make friends, and a bridge to give full play to their residual heat, so as to meet the needs of retired veteran comrades in an all-round and diversified way, and add positive energy to the development of the five institutes.
