Beijing aunt became "online celebrity" and got 10 million hits.

  According to a survey conducted by China Internet Network Information Center, by the end of 2015, there were 688 million netizens in China, and the proportion of elderly netizens over 60 years old increased from 2.4% in 2014 to 3.9% in 2015, reaching 26.83 million. It has become the norm for many elderly people to enjoy their old age that they can meet the needs of food, clothing, housing, transportation and even seeking medical treatment by moving their fingers.

  Anzhen Street in Chaoyang was the first free online and smart phone use class for the elderly in the city and even the whole country. Since 2014, volunteers from the community have trained nearly 6,000 elderly people in the use of computers and mobile phones. Many elderly people in the community here are now internet experts.

  "His wife died, network ‘ La ’ Give me a hand. "

  Video expert: 73-year-old Zhu Lanye

  Zhu Lanye, 73, who lives in Anhuali community, was dubbed by residents as the "originator of the learning class". "Two years ago, if I didn’t have access to computers and networks to broaden my horizons and relax, I’m afraid it would be difficult for me to get out of the shadow of my wife’s death." Recalling the living conditions at that time, Zhu Lanye felt that computers and networks had helped me. "At that time, shortly after my wife died, I didn’t have the spirit to do anything, and I still suffered from insomnia at night. My son and daughter-in-law were afraid that I was broken at home, so they signed me up for a computer class and wanted me to learn to surf the Internet, so I could have a pastime at ordinary times. "

  At that time, the computer class was far from home, and Zhu Lanye’s class could only be interrupted when there was no son to pick him up. "At that time, I thought, can we set up a special computer class for the elderly in the community?" What Zhu Lanye didn’t expect was that this proposal was quickly adopted by the street. On February 21st, 2014, Anzhen’s first class to teach computer and network knowledge to the elderly officially started. What Zhu Lanye didn’t expect was that the registration of the first computer online class was hot. "On the day of the notice, all 30 places were reported, and all the old people brought their laptops from home. It turns out that many elderly people have ready-made computers at home, but their children are busy with work and have no time and patience to teach. As soon as this class started, many elderly people signed up for the first time. "

  After more than two years of study, today’s Zhu Lanye has already become a computer expert, and WeChat, QQ, etc. have made her slip away and become an "expert" in picture and video editing. Ren Bingquan, an 80-year-old community resident, is a "apprentice" brought by Zhu Lanye. "I couldn’t connect the smart phone my son gave me to answer the phone. Since I started learning computer and mobile phone applications with Mr. Zhu, I have become an otaku. I not only know a lot of new things online through computers and mobile phones, but also learned to edit pictures and videos. Now I have made all the documentary clips of my son’s family trip, which is satisfactory." Ren Bingquan is particularly proud to show the reporter.

  "A bucket of milk makes me a code scanner."

  Code scanner: 57-year-old Wang Yansheng

  Wang Yansheng, 57, only started to learn to use smart phones two years ago. "It was not uncommon for my children to buy one for me before, and I felt useless. But I was really tempted once when I saw a discount activity of scanning QR code in the supermarket." Uncle Wang told reporters, "How can a bucket of one liter of milk cost 17 or 18 yuan? But the activity of the day was just to scan the QR code, and a bucket of milk cost one yuan. Isn’t this the same as a pie falling from the sky?" Immediately, Wang Yansheng went to buy a mobile phone and linked the bank card with the help of the shopping guide. "At that time, the shopping guide admired me and said that you have the motivation to do this, and you can’t do anything."

  Now, Wang Yansheng has become a loyal "smart phone family" and a well-known "code scanner" in the community. Once he finds a cost-effective activity, he will greet residents in the WeChat group to experience it together. "I have also swept a ticket for a city tour before. This ticket is normally more than 60 yuan, and the group purchase is more than 40 yuan. However, if you scan the QR code to add attention to that application, you only need 1 yuan money, which is worth more." For more than two years, Uncle Wang. However, I like smart phones and the Internet not just to save money. "This is a Le Er, and the location positioning and map navigation in the mobile phone are also very easy to use." Uncle Wang told reporters, "Sometimes everyone goes out to play together and asks for directions. It is not necessarily accurate, but it is very reliable to have this map to guide the way."

  "Buy clothes and pay the registration fee in minutes."

  Online shopper: 84-year-old Xia Xiuru

  Grandma Xia Xiuru, 84, is a well-known "online shopper" in the community. "I started to learn to surf the Internet in 2014, and I specially set up a Lenovo notebook. This study doesn’t matter, and I feel like I am possessed." In order to practice typing and get familiar with Pinyin, Grandma Xia wrote Pinyin on a small piece of paper for review, which took two months. The computer and smart phone basically played well. "When I started surfing the Internet, I was too involved, and the pot was burnt several times." Grandma Xia told reporters that because there were. The relationship between her and her family is becoming more and more harmonious. "I live alone. In the past, because my son and daughter-in-law lived far away and were busy at work, I suspected that they didn’t come to see me. Later, with the network, especially the WeChat circle of friends, I felt a lot richer every day. I also contacted my old colleagues and friends who used to talk on the phone during holidays. Everyone chatted on WeChat every day and felt much better."

  What surprises Grandma Xia even more is that everything from various living expenses to online shopping to hospital registration can be done in minutes through a small smart phone and network. "I pay the water fee, electricity fee, gas fee and cable TV fee with Alipay now. Before I put it aside, I lived alone. In order to pay the fee in winter, I had to go out to the bank. Now it’s all done with a few clicks of my mobile phone." Grandma Xia is still an online shopper. "There are several apps in my mobile phone, so I can buy fruits and vegetables, and fresh things can be delivered directly to my door." Grandma Xia, who pays great attention to her clothes, is a loyal user of Taobao. "In the past, we used to go to shopping malls or trade fairs to buy clothes, but we often couldn’t buy anything to be thankful for. For example, my 34-year-old feet often couldn’t buy suitable shoes. Since I used Taobao, it’s so convenient. You see, I bought it online from top to bottom, which is particularly suitable."

  Now Grandma Xia often carries a Pad with her. "I also hung up an expert number in anzhen hospital from the Internet. Once I went to the hospital at 3 o’clock in the morning and didn’t hang up the expert number. Now I feel that life can’t be separated from the Internet and mobile phones."

  Hosting a "talk show" accidentally became "online celebrity"

  Anchor: 69-year-old Sun Huilan

  Sun Huilan, 69, took part in the recording of a program under the recommendation of community volunteers, and accidentally became a popular "online celebrity" host.

  After retirement, Sun Huilan, who often laughs at herself as "a college student, washing dishes and sweeping the floor", also had a period of upset. "Colleagues and friends who usually meet every day are separated, and the life of busy office workers is over, and my heart is definitely empty." After attending classes on smart phones and computers, Sun Huilan’s life quickly became colorful. "The phone keeps ringing for a while, and there is no stop at all." "There are dozens of various groups such as colleagues, friends, calligraphy pen pals, swimming and fitness, and community neighbors in WeChat. I hate that I can’t read WeChat for an hour, and thousands of messages come to me when I open it. It’s really not normal."

  Because of her strong language skills and extroversion, community volunteers recommended Sun Huilan to a public number called Beijing Aunt has something to say to record a video program. In these talk shows, all of which are hosted by a native Beijing aunt, several videos of Sun Huilan have a click-through rate of 20 million to 30 million. "Now life is busier than going to work, and I feel very happy. After all, this program can speak for many elderly people of our age.

  Sun Huilan is also a little worried about the dependence on mobile phones. "Sometimes I go downstairs and forget to bring my mobile phone. Now my wife and I are supervising each other. Don’t end up as a mobile phone control. WeChat WeChat just believes it slightly, and so do mobile phones and networks. It is enough for these things to bring fun to our later life. The elderly must not get caught up in it and become prisoners of mobile phones and networks."

  Internet should create more convenience for the elderly.

  In the free computer and mobile phone training class for the elderly in Anzhen Street, the probability of "Teacher Xiao Lu" being mentioned is quite high. "Teacher Xiao Lu", whose real name is Lu Zhiqiang, is a social worker in Anzhen. Referring to the biggest problem encountered by the elderly in learning, Teacher Xiao Lu told the truth: "What the elderly need most when learning these applications is patience, and then they need to repeat them. Sometimes the same content may be finished this week, and it will take more time to review it next week. Step by step, the elderly can remember it."

  In more than two years, Anzhen Street has trained the elderly to use smart phones for more than 2,000 times and computers for more than 3,000 times, totaling nearly 6,000 times. "The most sought-after courses are the applications of WeChat, maps and online registration." Xiao Lu believes that the elderly often face cumbersome registration and login verification procedures for various applications and questions about the security of payment platforms. "For example, these practical softwares such as APP and online registration systems from major hospitals and Didi taxis can be made into a special version for the elderly, and the interface can be simplified and more tips can be added to facilitate the use of the elderly?" In the Internet age, the service industry for the elderly should integrate all kinds of information and service resources for different groups of people, so as to provide more humanized and directional services for the "finger life" of the elderly more effectively.
