Recently, Zhang Yulan, who lives in Room 102, Unit 5, Building 8, Nanping Community, Dongping Community, Xisaishan District, fainted at home due to sudden physical discomfort.
Zhang Yulan and Chen Guomin are husband and wife, and they are also an empty nester, both of whom are in their 80s, living here alone all year round, and their sons are working in other places. In order to take care of the elderly, their children ask someone to cook three meals a day for the elderly, regardless of care. And Chen Guomin was paralyzed in bed due to a stroke many years ago, and was cooked by Zhang Yulan for a long time, Zhang Yulan suddenly fell ill, and Chen Guomin was left with no one to take care of him.
Dongping community staff immediately contacted his son, but because he lived in another place, the family asked the community to help take care of his father and rushed home as soon as possible. Because Chen Guomin is a man, after discussion, the community handed over the matter to Comrade Zhu Yi, a member of the sinking party, and Zhu Yi agreed without saying a word. After a brief understanding of Chen Guomin's physical condition, Zhu Yi came to visit him. When it was time for dinner, Zhu Yi paid out of his own pocket to buy dinner for Chen Guomin. Chen Guomin has been bedridden for many years, and his right arm is no longer able to move, so in order to facilitate his meal, Zhu Yi had to feed the old man. After eating, Chen Guomin choked up and said, "My children are not around, but fortunately there is a community to help!."”
Since 2020, Dongping Community has promoted the loving meal action of home-based elderly care service centers in the jurisdiction, and cooperated with the Huangshi Civil Affairs Bureau to provide door-to-door meals for the elderly living alone and disabled in the jurisdiction, so that the elderly no longer have to worry about eating. Up to now, more than 3,000 love meals have been delivered in Dongping community, allowing the elderly to eat nutritious and affordable "love meals" and improving the sense of gain and happiness of the elderly.
On the 15th, when the weather suddenly turned cold, the Dongping community mobilized sinking party members and community workers to knock on the doors of the empty nest elderly to check whether the elderly were safe and ask if they needed help. In the next step, Dongping Community will continue to plan more special services for the elderly to improve the happiness of residents.
On December 15, when the cold wave hit and the temperature plummeted, the community grid members of the Shiliushan community organization visited the elderly living alone in the jurisdiction. "Grandma Meng, the weather has been cold and windy recently, so you must pay attention to keeping warm when you go out. At the home of Meng Qingzhi, an elderly person living alone in Hejiawan Community, the community grid members greeted the elderly to understand her physical condition and daily life, and told the elderly to strengthen their warmth, pay attention to the safety of electricity and gas, minimize travel, and pay attention to travel safety. 
At the home of Xu Fengying, an elderly person living alone in the Kangju community, the community grid staff talked with the elderly on their knees, told the elderly to pay attention to protecting their bodies, and checked the use of the "one-key call" emergency alarm equipped by the community for the elderly, disabled, living alone and other key service groups in the jurisdiction, and carefully told the elderly how to use it to ensure that the elderly "can use" and "can use". 
Every time the community grid members go to the homes of elderly people living alone, they check the safety of sockets, gas, electrical appliances and other conditions in the homes of the elderly in detail, and at the same time publicize the safety of fire, electricity and gas, especially the prevention of carbon monoxide poisoning. The heart-warming words and practical visits made the elderly living alone feel the warmth of the community family.
On the afternoon of December 15, Zhou Xiaoan, a fourth-level researcher of the Huangshi Federation of Trade Unions and the first secretary of the Cihu community, together with Zhou Bo, secretary of the party committee of the Cihu community, and an enthusiastic volunteer team came to deliver down jackets, sweatshirts and cotton pants to children from poor families in the community.
In this caring activity, Zhou Xiaoan carefully selected a batch of down jackets suitable for winter wear, and sent warm greetings to every child. In the communication with the children, he encouraged the children to establish a positive attitude towards life, and encouraged them to overcome difficulties, work hard, and create more possibilities for their future.
A community resident said movingly: "Seeing Secretary Zhou Xiaoan personally sending warmth to children in need, I feel really warm in my heart. This kind of caring activity is really meaningful, not only giving the children warm down jackets, but also conveying the warm care of the community.
