“Never feel pity for the setting sun. Look, the afterglow is even more beautiful.” The verses from Liu Yuxi (772-842)’s poem, in which he called for the hale and youthful spirit in seniors, has been chosen as the slogan for 88-year-old Zhang Wenshu and her Wanxia Handicraft Volunteer Team in Shekou’s Haichang Community.
