If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that this is a real version of rural China, and it would also be hard to admit that there are such a large group of left-behind elderly people in rural my country. The left-behind elderly in rural areas are a group that has expanded rapidly in the process of my country's transformation from a traditional agricultural society to a modern industrial society.

The carriers and objects of elderly care have undergone tremendous changes in time and space.

How many years have passed, where are Ning Bo, Xie Yanbo and other former "prodigies" today? Have the "prodigies" trained by many university youth classes later become all-powerful social elites?
