It was just a handshake, but what a lasting impression it had

One Friday morning in September, 73-year-old Wei Dingyu went to the health center of Shiye, in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu province, to check his blood pressure and blood sugar. It cost him 1 yuan ($0.15) to register and have the two tests.

Wei lives with his grandson, since his wife and two sons passed away. He has varicose veins and diabetes.

But Wei said he does not worry about living costs, especially medical expenses, due to the medical services provided by the health center.
