Event: Let’s Celebrate – Not Many People Live to Be 100
人生百歲古來稀

The great Tang poet Tu Fu wrote the often quoted line “Not many people live to be seventy.” With war and famine, Tu himself only lived to 58.

Amongst Jene Wah clients, the majority are over 70 years of age. As previously reported, twelve are over 90. On August 5, 2016, Sau Fung Lau was promoted to be a centurion. Her son Ken, daughter-in-law Margaret, grandson Adam, as well as a nephew Allen, his wife Teresa, a niece Debbie and her husband Arthur Wong celebrated her 100th birthday at Jene Wah. Wendy, with the help of many volunteers, decorated the hall beautifully.

It is Jene Wah’s mission to meet the many needs of our seniors. Ken Lau said he was grateful that he and his wife could have the peace of mind while working during the day, knowing that his mother is well taken care of at Jene Wah.

詩人杜甫在他四十多歲時就寫下了「人生七十古來稀」的名句，杜甫是個寫實派，他說的話不是騙人的。安史之亂後，他顛沛流離，才活了五十八歲。

千載之後，在振華，七十歲以上的老人，比比皆是。九十歲以上的就有十二位。今年八月五日，劉姑劉秀鳳的兒孫為她在振華慶祝百歲壽辰，她的內侄和侄女也攜眷前來參加。加上劉姑在振華多年的朋友們，濟濟一堂。

振華服務的宗旨是照顧老人家多方面的需要，讓他們安享晚年。劉姑的兒子劉子游對振華表示感謝說，幸好有振華作後盾，讓他們夫妻日間安心工作，無後顧之憂。回到家來，三代人和睦親愛。

振華的存在，就是為老人家添福添壽的。
