When filling out his university application, Wang Hanlin chose "music therapy". After graduating from the Central Conservatory of Music in 2014, he decided to enter the elderly care sector. During his second year at university, Wang Hanlin was introduced to music therapy for the elderly in a clinical practice course. The moment he entered the elderly care community, he felt as though he had found his true calling: "I'm not sure why, but I felt so comfortable being with the elderly. This feeling was something I never experienced when working with children with special needs or other groups of people with disabilities." After that first clinical session, Wang Hanlin continued to explore the field and ultimately decided to dedicate himself to music therapy focused on the health and well-being of the elderly.
