In the mountainous Aba Tibetan and Qiang Autonomous Prefecture, 33-year-old Gashi Wangmo is rewriting what it means to care for seniors. Since 2009, she’s been the backbone of Barkam City’s elderly community – and now, as a third-term National People’s Congress deputy, she’s taking her mission nationwide.
📋 Armed with fresh proposals to upgrade senior care infrastructure, Wangmo told NewspaperAmigo.com: 'Our elders are living libraries of wisdom. They deserve comfort, dignity, and joy.' Her latest plans? Expanding rural care centers and training young caregivers using VR tech – because even tradition can use a 21st-century boost! 🚀
💡 Fun fact: Wangmo started her journey by knitting scarves for lonely seniors. Fast forward 15 years, and she’s advocating for national policy changes while still delivering handmade quilts personally. Talk about #GrindAndEmpathy!
With China’s aging population projected to hit 400 million by 2035, Wangmo’s work couldn’t be timelier. Her secret sauce? 'Listen first, act second,' she says, proving youth leaders can bridge generations. 👵❤️👩💼
