Elderly trio in Central China inspires netizens

Three retired grandpas from Zhuzhou city, Central China's Hunan province, inspired many netizens with their enthusiastic and youthful attitudes toward life this week.

Known by their last name Yu, Ma, and Wei, the trio jointly opened a restaurant last month to fund their dreams while keeping themselves busy.

"We intend to use our savings and profits to do two things," said the trio. "First, we want to share love to the best of our abilities."

"Second, we want to buy a motorhome and travel together," they said.

Just a few days earlier, they went to the local nursing home to visit other elderly peers whose needs are provided under the five guarantees policies.

"The 'motorhome dream' can be realized in three to five years, I will be in my early 80s by then and traveling won't be a problem," said Ma, who is 78.

The other two, Wei and Yu, are 77 and 86 years old respectively.
