[Explanation] In Yuhan Community, Liulishan Street, Shizhong District, Jinan City, there is such a group of enthusiastic aunts who turned into matchmakers and are committed to matchmaking for older single men and young men and women, and to carry out the "free object" public welfare project.
[Explanation] On May 20, the reporter came to Yuhan Community and met Zhao Hui, director of the Yuhan South District Neighborhood Committee.
At 59 years old this year, she has been paying attention to the marriage and love issues of older young people for many years.
In March 2020, she joined community volunteers to set up the "Community Aunt" gang.

We, the community aunts, pay attention to the fact that when the Spring Festival and the holidays are over, these older boys and girls are reluctant to go home.
Why, even the adults and the elderly in the family are forcing marriage, and the first sentence when entering the door is "Have you found a partner? Why haven't you brought your partner?".
It is found that there are still many older boys and girls in our jurisdiction who have not found the half they like. It happened to be the sixth day of the (2020) year (first month), and we launched a "don't worry if you have difficulties, the community aunt will help you" "No Don't worry about the object, help the group aunt send it to you" such an activity.
[Explanation] With the launch of the event, there is an endless stream of people who come to consult and sign up.
Shi Jun, a member of the "Community Aunt" gang, is responsible for receiving and registering single information at the community office every day.

The babies who come to seek marriage come with their ID cards and fill in their basic personal information, age, height, education, as well as some occupations and personal family information.
[Commentary] Shi Jun, Zhou Jingyu and other aunts take turns on duty, organize them into books by gender, and summarize information.
Zhao Hui makes targeted matching based on the situation of single young men and women.

The method we take is one-on-one online. You sign up and ask aunt to send you a target. You send your basic information and photos to aunt, and aunt will compare and register your information one by one.
In this way, I was busy working in the community during the day, and at night I gave up the hobbies that our aunts have, and we danced square dance.
I will sit at home, under that lamp, I will match the boys and girls who sign up for this day.
[Explanation] In June 2021, the "Community Aunt" gang started live online.
Li Yue, 73 years old this year, was a primary school teacher before retiring and is now mainly responsible for the live broadcast of the gang.
In the live broadcast room, she introduced the basic information of single men and women in the form of numbers. Interested parties need to sign up and say the number of the other party, and then make corresponding matching and introduction.

When people are old, they should keep pace with the times and keep up with the pace of this era.
It turns out that we don't know what Douyin is. You see, I said it very well in the live broadcast. In fact (no), we are constantly learning.
We have to teach young people, teach them to fall in love, and sometimes we all encourage love to speak out.
From the constant encouragement, he (she) also slowly came out from being shy, and can boldly show their talents and (confidence) their own voices.
[Commentary] Yang Xiaohu, 53, is a retired soldier. After retiring, he participated in community voluntary activities in Yuhan South District.
In 2019, he was named "the most beautiful retired soldier in Jinan".
After the establishment of the "Community Aunt" gang, he and the aunts jointly prepared and launched a live broadcast of online distribution objects.

On June 16, 2020, we officially started the live broadcast in the live broadcast room.
At the beginning, I thought it meant that there are older young people in their 30s who haven’t found a partner?
Through this live broadcast, I found out that there are many people.
Mr. Li and I sent the objects (live broadcast) on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday morning. We communicated with the offline babies through live broadcast. We announced the information, and he (she) gave us feedback.
In this way, an interaction is reached with him (her) in this way.
[Commentary] Since its establishment more than two years ago, the "Community Aunt" gang has attracted the participation of singles from all over China through more than 240 online live broadcasts and more than 50 offline networking activities. So far, there have been more than 7,000 singles People have registered information and have facilitated about 600 marriages.
[Concurrent] Zhao Hui, founder of the "Community Aunt" gang
I have been a matchmaker for nearly two years, and I am deeply touched by this issue.
Sometimes that tall handsome (single young man) is very difficult, he is just ordinary, his life and work are ordinary, and he can be successful in connecting more quickly.
Because he knows better which child is the one who will stay with him for the rest of his life and be able to bond with him.
So sometimes why the last remaining (single youth) are some of the conditions are quite good.
If you have to put yourself in this position, he (she) can be more successful.
