ABA, Feb. 27 (Xinhua) -- Gexi Wangmu, a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress (NPC), serves as the director of an elderly care center in Maerkang City. As a “post-90s“ NPC deputy who started out as a frontline elderly care worker, Gexi has dedicated 16 years to her profession. In 2021, she was awarded the title of “outstanding elderly care worker“ by the Sichuan Provincial Department of Civil Affairs. From ensuring the elderly's daily care and meals to leading them in fitness exercises and helping with nail care, Gexi puts equal importance on both emotional and physical care for the elderly.
