Chongyang Festival (the ninth day of the ninth month on the Chinese lunar calendar) fell on October 11 this year. The festival is an occasion to care for and send blessings to the elderly. On October 10, the Women's Federation of Xiajiang (a county in East China's Jiangxi Province) organized volunteer services and activities, which included interactive games and free medical checkups for the elderly. Seen here, some women volunteers play a game with elderly residents.
