National "Month of Respect for the Elderly" has started in China: events are taking place across the country
In Zhengzhou (Henan Province), the nationwide month-long campaign "Jinglaoyue" has opened — a month of care and respect for older people. Cultural, medical, and social events are being held across the country.
Figures: the events cover all provinces of China
Why this matters to us
In China, support for older people is a state tradition with large-scale cultural events. This is an environment where inclusive screenings and performances by people 50+ can find partners.
What can be done
Use "Jinglaoyue" as a reason to write to Chinese cultural centers: propose a joint online concert during this period in 2027.
