May 12, 2022 is the 14th National Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Day and it is also the 14 years of sacrific of 5.12 Wenchuan earthquakee. Today, the affected area has been reborn in the midst of the pain and suffering, and a new city has risen on the ruins. On that day, the Party branch of the charitable organization and Chengdu Aiyixing joined with the Party branch of the Yuantongba community in Pengzhou City to pay tribute to the senior citizens who were affected by the earthquake in 2008.

Granny Liu is 71 years old and Grandpa Quan is 80 years old. Their house collapsed in the earthquake and their daughter and son-in-law were killed, leaving behind a 6-year-old child. With the government's concern and help, they have rebuilt their house and their grandson has entered the university of his choice. The old couple usually rely on agricultural work, embroidery shoe cushions to subsidize the household, and strive to use their hands to create a new life at the same time, but also continue to receive the care of the community. Granny Liu said that everyone's care makes them feel very happy.

The 81-year-old grandmother Yang received rice, oil and other living materials from the party members and her face showed joy that she could not hide. Although the earthquake caused her eye, hand and foot injuries, but she can not be idle, insisting on doing their own ability to do housework and so on. She said, people can't live without suffering, but what follows suffering is definitely sweet. Thanks to the government's concern, she was able to have eye surgery. She is also grateful to the people who often come to visit her, so that she will not feel lonely even if she lives alone.

The old people's positive attitude towards life in the face of difficulties infected everyone on site.It was also a vivid ideological education class for the Party members. Everyone said that we should learn from the old people, do a good job with a high sense of responsibility and sense of mission, and do practical things for the difficult social groups.
