Items like sunflower seeds, soda, biscuits, dried fruit, candy, popcorn, French fries, etc., are included, along with a paper bag for collecting trash.
Each person entering with a ticket will also receive a canvas bag containing a landscape painting fabric fan, a mini cooling balm, a sun hat in several colors, a T-shirt promoting civility, a floral handkerchief, and a commemorative keychain!
Of course, the souvenirs all have public service advertisements and are followed by the names of the sponsoring manufacturers.
This is truly a grand undertaking, and the audience couldn't help but feel tense and excited.
As the performance was about to begin, the audience members were all wearing sun hats, their colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple creating a vibrant, undulating rainbow that instantly brought the entire venue to life.
Originally, the audience didn't have high hopes for the elderly men and women's performance; they were simply there to show their support and enjoy the spectacle. After all, these elderly people weren't professionally trained; they were a makeshift group. Could they possibly compare to the seasoned performing arts troupes that made a living from this?
The matter of the senior citizens' university has been brewing for almost two months. There have been many sarcastic remarks, and some people have even gone to Ke Meiyu or the students and faculty of the senior citizens' university to make such remarks openly.
Senior citizen universities are a new thing, and they are bound to touch the interests of some people. They also make some backward and hesitant people feel sour. Moreover, Ke Meiyu has a tendency to attract criticism, and she announced the senior citizen university in a radio broadcast, so many people are hoping that she will be proven wrong.
For this reason, those people went to great lengths to get tickets, hoping to come and boo.
However, once the show started, they were slapped in the face repeatedly!
Regardless of the meticulous design of the venue and backdrop, or the costumes of the actors, the performance itself is unique and captivating.
It's the same as a chorus, but their high, middle and low notes are cleverly combined without any abruptness, and they can express the composer's original idea exactly. This is what playing music is all about.
Looking at the dances, there are several forms, including stage plays, dance-off comedy, and traditional dances with novel props.
Every performance was a delight to behold, with none of them dull. The final curtain call was a captivating square dance performance, with 500 students dressed in uniform moving to the music.
People are deeply moved by the vibrant energy and positive attitude emanating from the elderly.
Viewers in front of their televisions couldn't help but applaud and cheer enthusiastically. Even after the show ended, they were still eager for more and were already looking forward to watching the rebroadcast the next day.
The students at the senior university were deeply moved, knowing that their performance had been a success!
They stood tall and proud in their ranks, only letting out a long sigh of relief once they were out of sight, feeling they would have something to talk about again.
They walked back to school in their respective classes. Standing in the school square, Ke Meiyu smiled and held the microphone to congratulate them on their amazing and impressive results in their first battle.
She also clearly stated that she had secured sponsorships for the competition, and the income and expenditure details were clearly listed. Forty percent was used as bonuses for faculty and staff, and the rest was used for class expenses. If managed properly, students would not need to pay tuition fees in the future.
Settlement is done every six months, and each student might even have a surplus.
However, she had just received invitations from several organizations to have the trainees perform for their employees. Of course, she wouldn't let anyone suffer a loss.
The company either pays for it or uses the factory's resources to provide corresponding gifts.
Only invited performers and service staff can receive the rewards, but others also have the opportunity to earn extra money. Most importantly, the elderly get a return on their learning and exchange.
For them, it wasn't about the money or material possessions, but about proving that they could still serve the people and contribute their meager strength.
The senior citizens' university quickly became well-organized, and the overall atmosphere of the residential area was elevated to a new level. Everyone walked with a more energetic stride and wore brighter smiles. Families were harmonious and neighbors were friendly, and the changes were evident.
Seeing the success of the senior citizens' university, other cultural centers followed suit, coming to observe and hoping to transform themselves. After all, most cultural centers are established for retired employees, so carrying out this mission in a more formal and systematic way is a good choice.
The model and philosophy of the university for seniors are like revitalizing the stagnant waters of the cultural palace, which had been enclosed by itself. Without rules, there can be no order, and this is also true in this regard.
You'll never get anything done if you only work sporadically. Only by making your interests a guiding principle, a genuine commitment, can you find meaning in life.
At this point, Ke Meiyu gracefully retired, handing over all the work to the appointed principal of the senior university, while she herself only held the title of school supervisor to ensure that the school operated normally and did not deviate from its course.
The Ke family elders were even more proactive than office workers; after dinner, they dropped off their child and went to school.
They were part of a performance troupe, traveling to various places to perform every month. They received a constant stream of allowances and prizes, and meals were usually provided. They no longer missed their bed sheets and tiny vegetable garden at home.
The two elderly people are very busy on weekends, rain or shine. Today, with the heavy snow, they are stuck at home feeling uncomfortable.
The old lady started bombarding Ke Meiyu with gossip. She knew everything about Ke Meiyu, not just the four courtyards, but the entire residential area. She knew most of the students at the senior university, and everyone knew her.
As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.
Ke Meiyu raised her eyelids slightly, and a little one had already run over, asking loudly in a childish voice, "Excuse me, who is it?"
"Hello, little friend. Are your parents home? I'm your new neighbor across the hall. I just moved in. I'm just saying hello."
