Seniors Day — more reflection than celebration

A major problem is the lack of trained geriatric nurses and nurses' aides.

Socialist Gu is strongly opposed to setting up "elder communities," without younger people and youth.

"How would you feel to witness people aging and dying and realizing that you yourself are one of them?" asks Gu. "I am not against nursing homes, but they should at least be located where seniors can still get in touch with the young and energetic. Having children visiting their parents more frequently will also brighten their life."
