DESCRIPTION
7 days, 7 lectures. Beijing’s elderly have gathered to hear sales pitches for care robots, immortality pills and dubious de-ageing tech. Yet one speaker, Nurse Zhong, offers only a story: of Uncle Xiao, the old man she cared for. What follows is a tale of how two fragile humans – one young, one infirm – weathered all life’s hardships: together. China is ageing. Its shrinking households, overworked and overstretched, struggle to carry the burden of care for their elderly. Retired Beijing judge Uncle Xiao is one among millions of old-timers who face a hopeless choice: accept a lonely decline, or chase dubious ‘miracle cures’. Then into his life steps Miss Zhong, a young rural nurse with her own share of problems. The two have little in common, but as time delivers tragedies they learn that family can take many forms. Will this unlikely pair weather life’s storms together, and will Xiao find warmth in his sunset years?
