Ever wondered what happens when Gen Z meets senior living? Enter Fan Jinlin 🎉, a post-95 director running five nursing homes in Xuchang, Henan Province on the Chinese mainland. His mission? Shake up the golden years with fun, tech and genuine connection.
It all started when Fan’s grandmother had a bad fall. Seeing her stuck in a sterile ward sparked an idea: why not make elder care a vibrant, joy-filled experience? Before graduating, he earned credentials in elderly care and launched his first facility—fast.
With a media studies background, Fan refused to settle for quiet tea rooms. He shot Douyin videos with residents, reenacted classic scenes, hosted karaoke nights 🎶 and even built an esports room. Now, grandparents are forming “League of Legends” teams and battling it out online 🎮.
Today, a dedicated new media crew documents daily life—and joins in the fun. The result? Residents who feel energized, family members pleasantly surprised, and a fresh take on what a nursing home can be 💡.
Whether your own grandma’s busting Bollywood moves or vibing to K-pop, Fan’s “happy elderly care” approach proves that a little creativity and tech can spark big smiles. Young pros across South and Southeast Asia, take note: innovation and heart can transform any industry. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories! 🌟
