Introduction to the documentary "When You Are Old"

 

On December 3, 2016, the "When You Are Old" documentary produced and produced by Sanduotang Media was launched on iQiyi Documentary Channel. "When You Are Old" is divided into four episodes: "There is an Old in Family", "Auntie Bai", "Homeland" and "Pu Paradise". Each episode is 30 minutes.


Nearly one-fifth of China's population has entered the elderly group. It is predicted that by 2050, this data will become 1/3. Compared with the past, now that the economic level and medical and health conditions have been greatly improved, what is the life of ordinary Chinese elderly? What are their real concerns every day? What is the social status of the elderly? Are they a disadvantaged group in this society? From moral concepts to practical operations, what changes have taken place in the way Chinese people treat the elderly today? The purpose of this film is to take a serious look at the old Chinese people we call grandpa, grandma, father, and mother together with the audience.

At an age when he was supposed to enjoy the pleasures of family, Bai Wanqing unexpectedly became popular for mediating family disputes on a TV show called "The Old and the New Mother", and became a household star in Shanghai, and people affectionately called her " Aunt Bai". Since then, Aunt Bai’s social volunteer work has been in full swing, preparing for the elderly blind date salon, Alzheimer’s test and so on. The government helped her set up the "Bai Wanqing Volunteer Workshop" to solve the problems and perplexities of the people that the government cannot cover, while paying close attention to the spiritual life of the middle-aged and elderly people. However, at present, there is still very little understanding of volunteer work in the society, which makes Aunt Bai’s work more trivial and arduous...
