Lin Guozhang said that if he takes over the county government, he will issue a "Smart Senior Card" with a monthly subsidy of 1,000 points, equivalent to 1,000 yuan, which can be used for rides, medical appointments or shopping, which will substantially reduce daily expenses. In the future, the county government will also vigorously invest in community building and Evergreen Canteen funds to be the most solid backing for the elders and community development associations.

Mayoral candidate Han Ying pointed out that she took the lead in proposing to "double the Double Ninth Festival Respect for the Elderly Fund" in May, and has now facilitated the city office's decision to increase it from 600 yuan to 1,200 yuan. In the future, the city-county connection will continue to expand activity bases and strengthen software and hardware construction to take care of all elders.

The team then distributed healthy handmade biscuits specially made by Lanxin Shelter Factory to congratulate the elders on the festival. Han Ying said that this intention takes into account the original intention of supporting the disadvantaged and respecting the elderly. As the Double Ninth Festival is approaching, the Yilan team will continue to go deep into the grassroots and reduce the burden on families through practical policies, so that every elderly person in Yilan can live a better life under a comprehensive social welfare network.
