As autumn deepens, warmth grows stronger. On the traditional Chongyang Festival, a day honoring the elderly, CHINA MOBILE Jiangsu Company’s Lianyungang Branch (referred to as Lianyungang Mobile) meticulously organized a heartwarming "Digital Autumn Experience" event. The event invited senior students from local elderly universities to explore the convenience and warmth that technology brings to their lives.
At the Ganyu Pedestrian Street Digital Service Hall, the atmosphere was lively, with engaging activities allowing seniors to immerse themselves in the charm of digital living. In the smart device experience zone, staff patiently guided participants through various interactions: from basic smartphone operations—helping them with daily calls, video chats, and online payments—to fun interactions with AI robots that could answer questions or engage in casual conversations. Additionally, seniors enjoyed immersive experiences with 5G VR glasses, virtually traveling to distant landscapes, and even participated in robot-assisted chess games, adding festive joy through playful competition. Each activity was tailored to meet the needs of elderly participants, making technology accessible and practical.
Beyond the tech experiences, Lianyungang Mobile prepared two special "Chongyang Gifts" for the seniors. The first was an "Anti-Fraud Workshop," where staff explained common scams targeting the elderly—such as fake investments, impersonation scams, and health product frauds—using real-life examples and prevention tips. This helped seniors build a "firewall" against fraud and protect their savings. The second gift was a "Chongyang Portrait Session," featuring a free professional photo shoot. Each participant received a retouched digital photo, preserving warm memories of the festival.
This Chongyang Digital Autumn event not only celebrated the festival’s tradition of respecting elders but also addressed seniors’ digital life needs. Through technology and thoughtful services, it brought joy, security, and warmth to participants. The event was highly praised by attendees, enhancing satisfaction with CHINA MOBILE’s services while reinforcing the company’s commitment to community care and elderly-friendly initiatives.
