Xinmin Evening News (correspondent Liu Yijian, reporter Xu Chi) "My Lao Gan's house next door has not moved for two days, no one answered when I knocked on the door, and I couldn't see the situation inside when the window was closed, so you can come and take a look." Recently, Lin Guanghong, a resident of Building 25 of Hongmei Community, Anting Town, Jiading District, asked for help from the neighborhood committee.
It turns out that 75-year-old Lin Guanghong and 83-year-old Uncle Gan are neighbors who have known each other for many years, and their children both work in the city and often take care of each other. Uncle Gan is not good hearing, and he likes to turn on the volume to the maximum when watching TV. In the past two days, Lin Guanghong found that the next door was much quieter than usual, and the sound of the TV did not come on time, which made him feel bad, so he asked the neighborhood committee for help.
After learning about the situation, the staff of the neighborhood committee immediately went to Uncle Gan's house, and contacted Uncle Gan's son, who said that his father did not pass with him today and was very anxious. At the scene, the staff checked around and found that all the doors and windows of Uncle Gan's house were closed, and the door was the only entrance. Considering that the old man might have an accident, after obtaining the consent of Uncle Gan's son, the staff broke into the door together.
Walking into Uncle Gan's house, the staff found that the furniture was neatly packed, but there was no trace of Uncle Gan. At this time, Uncle Gan's son called, it turned out that the old man went to travel with a travel agency two days ago, and because he left early in the morning, he did not greet his neighbors.
For this "oolong", Uncle Gan's son expressed his gratitude very much: "Dad did tell me a few weeks ago that he was going to travel, I thought it was the old man who said it casually, so he didn't feel at ease and caused trouble for everyone." Dad has such a group of neighbors and neighborhood committees around him who care about him, and his heart is very warm! ”
A few days later, the neighborhood committee visited Mr. Gan again, who had returned from a trip, and he said that although he was an elderly man living alone, he had never felt lonely, and that there were neighbors in the community who took care of each other, social workers who visited the door regularly, and building team leaders who responded to requests, and he felt that he was living in a big family.
Chen Huizhu, a member of the Hongmei Neighborhood Committee, introduced that there are 238 elderly households living alone in the Hongmei community, all of which are the focus of the neighborhood committee. ”
