Wuhan police found that 25% of the elderly who were lost would get lost again
At the live broadcast of the "Key to Go Home" public welfare action, the community police of the Tazihu Police Station recalled gorgeously that in July this year, hundreds of ** were found to find a lost elderly man.
One day in July, she took turns to rest at home, and suddenly received a request for help from a resident, Mr. Yuan, saying that his 90-year-old mother had gone out for a walk at about 8 a.m. that day and had not returned.
The police inquired and learned that the old man went out alone every morning to walk in the community, sometimes chatted at the neighbor's house, and would go home before lunch at the latest. The old man had not returned home after lunch time that day, so the family went out to look for it, but they couldn't find it all over the community and neighbors, and the family immediately suspected that the old man was lost. After more than 5 hours and hundreds of streets**, I finally saw the old man near the bus stop on Huangpu Street in Jiang'an District. By this time, the old man had been away from home for 10 hours, sweating profusely and exhausted. The police immediately bought water for the old man to replenish his water, helped the old man into the police car, and sent him home. "The old man was penniless, and he was already tired and paralyzed and almost in shock after walking outside for a day without eating or drinking on such a hot day. ”

At the live broadcast of the event, the host introduced that this year, the Wuhan police have recovered more than 5,000 lost people. Among the elderly people recovered, 25% went missing again.
Illuminating the way home for these elderly people needs the attention and help of all sectors of society. Song Wei, senior director of Pinduoduo and head of Pinduoduo, the "Key to Home" public welfare action, said that especially with the gradual occurrence of Alzheimer's disease in the elderly group, the elderly get lost from time to time. "When aging parents suffer from cognitive impairment, Pinduoduo also wants to do something to give them more care. We want to use every 'key home' to help the lost elderly get in touch with their families as soon as possible. He said that the symbol of this public welfare action is "there is a key in the middle of love", hoping to use meager strength to warm the way home for the elderly in this winter.
Lost elderly people often only carry a bunch of keys with them
It is impossible for the family to guard their side 24 hours a day, and the elderly always want to walk out of the door, and this is how the accident comes. Hu Yongpeng, a police officer from the Hongwei Road Street Police Station of the Qingshan District Public Security Bureau, remembers that on a winter morning two years ago, he received a call from a mother-in-law who had not heard from her since she left home. After Hu Yongpeng received the alarm, he immediately sent information, checked the police, and accessed the probe. Eventually, he found his father lying on the ground at a construction site. The doctor said that my father was severely frostbitten and dehydrated, and if he was sent a little later, his life would be in danger. "It's good to be a minute earlier, we want to be faster!He appealed.
At the event, a number of police representatives and community representatives came to the stage to share their experiences in finding the lost elderly. Photo by Zou Qiyuan.
Li Minglong, a police officer from the Xinchong Street Police Station of the Xinzhou District Bureau, was patrolling on a hot day when he found a lost old man leaning against a telephone pole, his eyes closed and sweating profusely. At that time, he had been walking for four or five hours, dizzy, and his life would be in danger if he was sent to the hospital for rescue a little later. He said that many elderly people do not carry mobile phones or other items for identity verification when they are lost, and they forget their names and even forget their names and those of their families, but they often remember to bring their keys when they leave the house.
The police officer Hua Hua also felt the same way, when she asked the lost old man who was recovered: "Why don't you call the police or ask passers-by for help?"The old man replied, "I am afraid of causing you trouble." Hua sighed that the elderly are always sympathetic to others. At the same time, they are always "old and young", and they always feel that they will not get lost, and if they are confused, it is a matter of an instant.

In order to help solve the problem of the elderly getting lost, combined with the suggestions of the public security department and relevant experts, the "Rule of Law" column of the main station and Pinduoduo jointly launched this public welfare action.
How to make a fuss around the key?The project team, together with many grassroots police, did a lot of research based on actual cases, and finally focused on solving specific pain points. For example, how to make the elderly more accustomed to carrying around, which positioning method is more practical, and how to ensure that the personal information of the elderly is not excessively leakedAfter considering the above questions, the first keys to return home were finally available. This is a keychain scheme that mainly uses Beidou satellite positioning technology and has a chip function. When the elderly are lost or lost, the built-in chip of the "key to home" can provide convenience for ** and their families, and locate the location of the elderly at the first time. At the same time, the *** on the keychain can provide information for enthusiastic passers-by to help the elderly go home. Different from the previous way of scanning the code of the positioning instrument to display the information of the elderly's family, the "key to home" scanning code to obtain the community police of the community where the elderly live will also be sent home with the help of the police.
Use responsibility to convey kindness and warmth
Why can't I directly see the mobile phone number of the elderly's family members by scanning the code?A police officer at the event site explained: The information of each elderly person is associated with the corresponding community police, on the one hand, it can better protect the privacy of the elderly and avoid being used by criminals, on the other hand, it is also the first initiative to take responsibility, deepen the reform of the police mechanism, and reflect the advantages of the "main defense" of the police station. "A small keychain is connected to responsibility, trust, and the safety of the elderly. We, the public security police, have an unshirkable responsibility. ”
The police showed the reporter gorgeously, opened the mobile phone "key to go home" terminal, and could see the elderly who had already obtained the smart key in the jurisdiction, respectively located in **, how the power of the device, whether there was important prompt information, etc. "We regularly remind the families of these elderly people to charge their devices in a timely manner. ”
All "keys" will be distributed free of charge by the project team and the public security department. Photo by Zou Qiyuan.
Once the elderly are found lost, family members can also check the location of the "key" through the "key to home" applet to find the elderly, and the masses can scan the *** on the "key" to contact the community police to help the elderly go home safely. Cheng Ganglin, a resident of Zhanglin Community, Yicheng Street, Xinzhou District, recently applied for a smart key for his 82-year-old father. A few days later, my father hung up the key and went out to walk in the square thousands of miles away from home, but he didn't go home at 8 o'clock in the evening. "It's good to have this little thing, which helps a lot!”
Some people say that patients with Alzheimer's disease are like an eraser in their minds, constantly erasing their memories, and the good memories of family, love, and friendship disappear with them. But there is always a group of people who are constantly and sparingly trying to reconstruct these memories. Even if some memories will inevitably disappear, the warmth of kindness can stay in the heart, and practical help can allow the elderly to live with dignity and taste.
The first stop of the 'Keys Home' public welfare action landed in Wuhan, and all the 'keys' were distributed free of charge by the project team in conjunction with the public security department. In the future, we hope to land this public welfare action in more cities across the country to help more lost and lost elderly people return home safely. Song Wei said.
