[Concurrent] Zhang Hui, bath assistant
Every time I see a smile on their faces after washing, I will be very happy after they are happy.
Even though I was very tired during the process, I still felt that I never got tired of it. The smiles on their faces were also an encouragement to me and gave me a mission, as a young man.
[Explanation] Recently, the reporter came to Jinan Chunheshan Pension Service Co., Ltd. to interview bath assistant Zhang Hui.
As a "post-00", she has been engaged in this profession for half a year. In the past six months, she has served more than a hundred elderly people. In her opinion, being a bath assistant is full of warmth and emotion.

There was an (old man), she was a grandma, and she held my hand after we left. I didn't know what was going on at the time, and I said what's wrong grandma?
She said Xiao Zhang, when will you come again?
When can I see you again?
I said soon, I will come to see you soon.
She was a little excited, and I didn't expect it, because it was the first time we met, and then she fumbled in her pocket, ready to give us money, which I didn't expect.
[Explanation] When the bath assistants meet the elderly for the first time, they will be greatly loved by the elderly. This is also the charm of the bath assistance service.
However, in the process of aiding the bath, some problems will inevitably be encountered.

We received a customer before. His family said that there was an elevator, but then suddenly changed it. It was in an old-fashioned community, on the sixth floor.
We have climbed the fifth floor (the highest) before, and have not climbed the sixth floor. Our bath assistant carried the (bath) bathtub to the sixth floor alone, which was a great test for physical strength. (For the elderly) Bathing is also exhausting, so I think it's good to be able to persevere.
[Explanation] Carrying two boxes and climbing stairs is already the norm in Zhang Hui's work. For her, this job is tiring but very valuable.
Zhang Hui said that home-assisted bathing not only cleans the body of the elderly and reduces the burden on their children, but also comforts the hearts of the elderly and "baths" them back to happiness.
[Explanation] "Post-90s" Cao Shuai is the founder of this elderly care service company. He believes that the emerging profession of bath assistant has its own reasons.

At present, in China's aging society, many elderly people need to take a bath. For their children, many children actually have more than enough energy to take care of the elderly. Why do you say that?
When a child takes care of a bedridden or semi-bedridden old man, he (she) cannot handle the old man himself, so this profession is also born out of this kind of social and social customer needs.
[Explanation] Cao Shuai once faced the same trouble, because his grandfather was sick and bedridden, it was difficult for him and his father to help his grandfather take a bath.
Later, by chance, I learned about the profession of "visiting bathing assistance" in Japan. Cao Shuai founded this company based on solving the bathing difficulties for grandpa and more elderly people.

At that time, when choosing this project, I combined the bathing difficulties encountered by my family at that time, and added that the door-to-door bathing service was for the elderly. Serving the elderly means that all kinds of goodness and filial piety are the first. In fact, I personally think this is also the reason Do a filial piety for all the elderly in the society.
Because we have indeed solved the problems encountered in life for many elderly people in the society.
