A few days ago, the basketball court of Xingfu Village Kindergarten in Sanqi Town was extremely busy. On the court, 58 elderly people over 60 years old stood side by side with 50 lively and immature children, and participated in an interesting basketball activity called “When Silver Hair Meets Basketball’s Unstoppable Excitement”. The figures of an old man and a young man intertwined, the sounds of basketballs hitting the ground and innocent laughter came and went, forming a warm and moving picture.

The activity begins with gentle warm-up exercises. There is no fierce confrontation, instead there is “slow beat practice” and “rhythm practice”. Under the leadership of the principal Yang Yanjun, both the elderly in their 90s and the childish children all followed the slogans and shot the ball slowly, taking it very seriously. In the final display of results, young and old all tried their best to follow the bright music rhythm and let the basketball rise and fall regularly between the palms and the ground. Among them, a grandma was not paying attention, and the basketball slipped from her hands and rolled forward. A little boy with a tough head and a tough head next to her quickly chased and retrieved it, and handed it back to her grandma with a smile. Such combinations are all over the stadium, and the warmth is passed down between generations.
“The recent ‘Zhejiang BA’ competition has been very popular, and many villagers love to watch it and are deeply affected.” Sun Jian, secretary of the Party Committee of Xingfu Village, said with a smile, “We thought, why not extend the enthusiasm and happiness brought by basketball to every age group in the village? So we organized this event so that everyone can experience the pure fun of sports while having fun and feel the warmth of communication and companionship across age groups.” He said that basketball has no boundaries. It is not only a way of fitness, but also a link to connect neighbors and warm people’s hearts.
During the activities, publicity on health knowledge on winter stroke prevention and treatment and anti-fraud reminders were also cleverly interspersed. The whole event was always full of fun and vitality, basketballs were passed in the air, joy flowed among the crowd, and warmth spread quietly in Xingfu Village on this winter morning.
