In recent years, the company has greatly increased the income of local farmers while promoting the development of the asparagus industry in the county by implementing the electrification level of asparagus planting. With the continuous improvement of living standards, more and more elderly people in the village are no longer simply satisfied with "providing for the elderly", but have new needs of higher quality and higher level. In order to meet the growing spiritual needs of the elderly, the company has opened a "silver classroom" tailored for the elderly group after course setting, on-site consultation, acceptance of registration and other procedures. The class sets up basic courses such as policy explanation, smart phone use, security knowledge popularization, fraud prevention, and mental health of the elderly, as well as advanced courses such as junior electrician, new energy application, face molding, paper-cutting, calligraphy, painting and photography. On October 20, 2023, the "Silver Classroom" officially opened, and the university for the elderly located at the doorstep of the home was warmly welcomed by the local elderly.
Now the state has also issued a policy document named after the 'silver economy', which has encouraged us and strengthened our determination to run the university for the elderly, so that more elderly people can share the fruits of social development and enjoy a happy old age. Pan Shuang, director of the Red Kiln Power Supply Institute of the State Grid Lianshui County Power Supply Company, said.
In the next step, the company will continue to use various forms such as "silver classroom" and "social science popularization" to give the elderly a channel for learning activities, a stage for displaying their style, a richer spiritual world, and a more colorful rural life. Let them learn knowledge, exercise, and harvest happiness at the "doorstep", so that "old-age care" becomes "enjoying old age", and continuously improve the happiness, sense of gain, and satisfaction of the elderly group.
