老骥霥翥瀿成 torch
In the Wukesong Military Rest House in Haidian District, there is such a veteran volunteer service team. The team members volunteer and help each other. No matter who has difficulties, everyone will give him the greatest help and care. The name of this team is "Sunshine Service Team". 96% of the rest personnel at Wukesong Military Rest Center come from the medical, teaching, scientific research, nursing and management fields of People's Liberation Army General Hospital . They are all retired division and regiment cadres who have been educated by the party and the army for many years. These veterans of the Republic who have made outstanding contributions to national defense construction have begun to age one after another, and the number of empty nesters and people living alone has increased. The Sunshine Service Team of Wukesong Military Rest House was established in 2012, with a total of nearly 100 members, mainly composed of retired cadres from the former People's Liberation Army General Hospital. They serve military retired cadres with the purpose of "sending sunshine, sending warmth, doing practical things, solving problems, and warming you, me and others". Each branch organization member serves as the captain of the service team. Each branch member and party team leader distributes a booklet recording the information of the branch's veteran cadres in difficulty to each member of the main team member in order to better provide services to them. Over the years, it is this piece of "sunshine" that has warmed the hearts of every veteran cadre of military rest station .
The first is to form a support pair. Luo Lihua from the service team learned that "empty nester" Shi Caihua was ill and urgently needed hospital treatment, so she formed a support pair with Shi Caihua. Not only did she take the initiative to send Shi Caihua to the hospital and visit her frequently in the hospital, but she also helped her with cooking. housework. Luo Lihua's sincere help and timely assistance helped Shi Caihua alleviate the pain of the disease. She said: "Luo Lihua is not a relative but a relative." The second is to provide psychological counseling. Li Yuzhen, the "psychiatrist" of the service team, learned that a retired military cadre of the company was unable to live and work normally due to psychological reasons, so he used his professional knowledge to form a psychological counseling and support group to provide psychological counseling for her day and night, and finally helped her. She recovered and returned to work. The third is to be a good legal advisor. Guo Xuesen, a member of the Sunshine Service Team, once worked as a legal consultant in the Political Department of the People's Liberation Army General Hospital. The service team gave full play to Guo Xuesen's professional abilities to help retired military cadres resolve legal issues such as inheritance disputes, and helped retired military cadres mediate family disputes. The fourth is to give full play to technical expertise. Xu Jinying, a member of the service team, has technical expertise in acupuncture and physiotherapy. She not only provides door-to-door services to veteran cadres with limited mobility, but also insists on providing regular acupuncture, massage, cupping and other services in the conference room of the military rest house for many years. She also uses the lecture platform to share scientific health care and disease prevention knowledge. The fifth is to implement emergency relief. Veteran cadre Ma Zhizhong suddenly fell ill, and his wife hurriedly sought help from the "Sunshine Service Team". Guo Shiwu, 82, and Meng Qinghua, 78, are a retired military couple. When they learned about the rescue information, they called their daughters and rushed to Ma's hometown and worked together to send the old man to the hospital.Registration, testing, payment, hospitalization procedures, etc. were all handled by Guo Shiwu's family. When Mr. Ma was admitted to the ward, Guo Shiwu was still comforting his family members. After everyone's dissuasion, he dragged his tired body home to rest.
When someone asked Mr. Guo, if the epidemic situation is so serious, why do you dare to go to the hospital if you are not in good health, he just said lightly: "Because I am a member of the Sunshine Service Team." The Sunshine Service Team is a photo with a halo. Business cards can help the elderly have something to do, provide for themselves, help those who are in need, make the sunset more beautiful, and make the retired military cadres' later life warmer.

Repeatedly, the operation is meticulous.
The exemplary actions of retired military cadres have inspired their children and spouses to actively join the ranks of "Big White" and "Little Blue".

A word of "arrive" A lifetime arrival
Nearly 500 retired military cadres from the Minhang Road Military Rest House live in the Xijiao Airport Community and Minhang Nanli Community. The two community neighborhood committees have few staff and a wide jurisdiction. After the frequency of nucleic acid testing increased, the neighborhood committees became worried.
