"It's never too late to be better," she says. "Even when we are getting old, we can still play an active role in society through continued education and greater access to entertainment."

Ji Ping, co-producer of the drama series, points out that the post-1960 generation is becoming a group of creative older adults that is willing to express individuality and pursue emancipation. The elderly are a growing force among China's internet users.

In November 2020, the State Council, China's Cabinet, issued guidelines that called for a three-year campaign to help the elderly cross the digital divide and enjoy the fruits of intelligent technology.

"In response to the call for tackling the growing digital divide for the elderly, we hope that the drama can show viewers the difficulties elderly people face in a digital society, and young people are inspired to take greater care of the material and spiritual needs of their parents," says Ji.

"Then we can work together to help build a senior citizen-friendly society."
