On the morning of June 17, Zaoyuan West Road Community, Lianhu District, held a special sports meeting for the elderly, which attracted more than 100 elderly people from the community to sign up.
The fun games set up a variety of activities such as hooping, throwing balls into buckets, darts, grabbing color bars, table tennis competition, and bead travel. Among them, the most popular one is the Pearl Journey, a group of five people, each holding a semi-circular ball groove relay to pass a ball, and relay from the starting point to the end point without the ball falling. “Oops, slow down, slow down, be careful!” I saw the elderly people who participated in the relay held the pipe in their hands and carefully rolled the ball forward. When the ball left their pipe, they breathed a long sigh of relief and relaxed And happy looking like a child. The old people who were on the sidelines were also very interested, some cheered on the participants, and some taught their own experience. The atmosphere of the event was very active, and everyone had a great time.
“During the exercise, the body and mind are fully relaxed, and the distance between neighbors has been shortened and friendship has been enhanced. It can be said that it serves multiple purposes.” The 65-year-old Ms. Zhang participated in the competition of the Pearl Tour 10,000-mile project. Although she lost to her opponent, she fought hard to the end. She told reporters that the community is a big family, and the neighbors are a family. I hope that more activities like this can be held so that everyone can get to know and become familiar with each other and jointly maintain the harmony and unity of the community.
“The test of the Pearl’s journey is the ability of teamwork. If the Pearl wants to go far, it is impossible for one person to do it alone, and our journey of life is not like this.” After the game, Master Liu, who participated in the sports event In conclusion, each of us can become who we are today and are inseparable from those around us, those we know and those we don’t know. We are like a bead. It is the bridge that everyone splices together that allows us to come here and become who we are today. Therefore, I am very grateful to my family, friends, and neighbors for making me who I am.
At the event site, the medical staff of Metallurgical Hospital and Huarong Day Care Center also paid attention to the physical condition of the elderly and escorted their health.
