A good ecological living environment provides a good condition for Zhongxiang people to live longer. Jiang Zuosu, Chairman, Party Secretary, President and Editor-in-Chief of Hubei Daily Media Group, said that Zhong Xiang's declaration of "the hometown of longevity in China" was a new starting point. He said that longevity is an eternal topic, which expresses the simple desire and beautiful pursuit of human beings. Zhong Xiang wants to promote this brand and blow the wind of longevity all over Jingchu and China. In recent years, Zhongxiang has gradually improved the social security system for the elderly, which combines the state, the collective and the society, and issued a series of policies and measures to solve the problem of providing for the elderly. Especially for centenarians, we insist on granting nutritional subsidies every month, and organize medical staff to come to the house for free physical examination every year. The widowed old man was adopted by the welfare home, and the town leaders came to our home for condolences on holidays. Zhong Xiang also regards caring for the elderly as an important content, and has been selected as an outstanding rural party member, a model worker, a "five good families" and a "ten-star civilized farmer". Within the city, a good atmosphere of "respecting the elderly, respecting the elderly and abandoning shame" has gradually formed.
