  People's Political Consultative Conference reporter: During our investigation and interview, we found that when everyone thinks that mobile phones are convenient for life, the elderly are faced with mobile phone problems, such as being unable to enter public places because they can't use the health code.

How to let the elderly enjoy happiness in the intelligent age, what are the opinions and suggestions of the CPPCC members?

  Guo Weimin: You asked a livelihood issue that everyone is paying more attention to recently.

The problem of aging and the use of smart devices by the elderly is indeed a real problem facing Chinese society today, and it is also an important issue of the CPPCC.

In recent years, many members of the CPPCC have put forward proposals on related topics. The CPPCC National Committee has conducted several special investigations on the issue of population aging, held bi-weekly consultation forums, and invited members and responsible comrades of relevant departments to face-to-face consultations, exchanges and discussions.

Many committee members believe that the popularization and application of smart technology has brought convenience to people's lives, but it has also brought troubles and problems to some elderly people.

The recent emergence of senior citizens’ difficulties in using smart devices has exposed the problems of "intelligent technology advancement and insufficient humanized services" in some areas.

  Guo Weimin: The central government attaches great importance to this issue. General Secretary Xi Jinping issued special instructions. The General Office of the State Council issued a document in November last year. It put forward specific measures and efforts to focus on 7 common issues involved in the daily life of the elderly such as travel, medical treatment and consumption Solve the problem that the elderly are difficult to use intelligent technology.

  Guo Weimin: Relevant government authorities have quickly deployed, and various industries have taken actions. CPPCC members in related fields have also actively participated in assisting the elderly to integrate into a smart society.

We have seen that some public places no longer use the "health code" as the only pass, and can also enter by registering an ID card.

Some hospitals set up special windows for registration fees for the elderly to facilitate medical treatment, and so on.

The problems faced by the elderly in the age of intelligence are gradually alleviating.

  Guo Weimin: This year, the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference will "actively respond to population aging and promote balanced population development" as a key consultation plan, and will organize CPPCC members to conduct in-depth research and discussion to provide reference for government decision-making.

The committee members hope that the whole society will take action to actively provide convenience for the elderly; at the same time, they hope that young people will communicate with the elderly more and help the elderly enter the smart circle and integrate into modern life.

The committee members believe that "in the era of intelligence, there must be no one less."
