Duck soup with wax gourd and pearl barley, steamed grass carp with preserved vegetables, fried eggplant with shredded pork, roasted Chinese cabbage... Here, the elderly can enjoy a delicious lunch for only 3 yuan.

On November 2, Dongsheng Town opened the first "dining hall for the elderly" in Gaosha Community. The dishes are provided by the restaurants within the town, and a total of 42 elderly people applied for meal cards, so they can enjoy convenient government-subsidized meal services at the dining hall.

"I come here almost every day. The food is cheap and delicious, and it is only a few minutes' walk from home, which is very convenient," Liang Shunjiao sang her praise for the dining hall. She said that not only could she enjoy fresh and delicious food, but she could also make many friends here.

Liang Xiuli, the project director of the Dongsheng Social Work Service Station, said that the establishment of the dining hall for the elderly can solve the problem of senior citizens eating alone without social interaction. The dining hall also enables them to come into contact with more people and enrich their daily lives.
