It is 2025 now. Lang Zhizun is a 31-year-old former children’s nurse in Beijing. Over six years, he has helped over 5,000 elderly patients with daily medical needs like wound care and even bathroom assistance.
Lang previously worked to care for sick children. While he loved seeing kids recover, he noticed elderly patients rarely improved. His grandfather’s difficult final days made Lang realize how hard aging can be. As an only child, he worried about caring for his own parents while working long hospital hours. This inspired his move to home nursing. Six years ago, he made a life-changing decision. He left his hospital job to start a home nursing service for bedridden (长期卧床的) seniors.
Lang’s job is full of challenges. Once, Lang faced an emergency when changing a patient’s long-overdue catheter (导管) caused sudden bleeding. He stayed calm, stopped the bleeding, and later created safety rules for families to sign consent forms (同意书).
China’s aging population makes Lang’s services vital. Millions of seniors need care but struggle to visit hospitals. Lang’s team stays busy, charging about ¥219 per visit. Even on stormy days, he answers urgent calls from homebound patients like Mr. Li, an 82-year-old cancer survivor who finds hospital trips tiring.
Lang knows emotional (情感的) support matters too. He spends some time chatting with lonely seniors, comforting them like family. Through social media, he shares caregiving tips and stories to raise awareness. “Our mission,” he says, “is to help every elderly person live comfortably.”
