Why do young people wear special uniforms to experience the life of the elderly?

October 25, 2020 is the Double Ninth Festival. On the afternoon of the 24th, a volunteer carnival was held in Laomendong, Nanjing. Activities such as "aging experience", charity sales, and interactive promotion of public welfare projects attracted citizens to watch and participate. All funds raised from the activities will be donated to "Protecting the Dignity of the Disabled Elderly" and other projects that respect and care for the elderly.

At the scene, the "aging experience" of dressing up attracted a large number of families to watch. Ms. Fei, a citizen, took her daughter and mother to participate in the experience activities. Wearing heavy special clothes and custom-made glasses that blur vision can imitate the hearing ability and movement speed of the elderly.

Such an aging experience made Ms. Fei, a citizen, understand the difficulty of being a mother: “Through the aging game, I put on heavy clothes and glasses, and felt that my body was very heavy. I am young and relaxed now, so I think we should understand our parents, tolerate them, take care of them more and be considerate of them."
