Authorities need to do more to make elderly people's life convenient

China Daily  

The number of elderly people living alone in China has increased significantly since 2010, according to the results of a survey released recently.

Many hospitals in China are going paperless, though elderly people like me feel uncomfortable when we don't get a sheet of paper with the diagnosis and/or prescription. But I also request the relevant departments to pay attention to the woes of the elderly people and do more to make their life convenient.
