Nan Xingjue smiles, holding a tray, and says: “We come here almost every day. The food is tasty: four dishes and soup, the menu is varied. For us elderly people over 70 years old, one meal costs four yuan – much cheaper than other places. After lunch, we can practice tai chi together, have a chat. It’s very heartfelt here.”

The total area of the dining hall is 120 square meters. More than 60 people can eat here at the same time. As Cao Ying, a member of the CPC working committee of the Jinxi community in the city of Tumshuk, said, “The dining hall primarily provides meals for the elderly, recipients of the minimum living allowance, people with disabilities, and other needy categories of the population, but it is also open to other residents of the district.” Local resident Mr. Yang says: “I come here three times a day. It is very convenient: the food is prepared with cleanliness and hygiene in mind, and the prices are affordable. It’s much less hassle than cooking at home.”
