Bisen Liu's sweet sliver song named "A Spray of Plum Blossoms", linger in the air and brought the old people back to the memories of the 80’s. Along with the rhythm of music, the elderly clapped their hands and indulged in it unconsciously. During the song some of the aged also sang together with him.

Then, Lan Zhang and Xiaohui Liu brought a comic dialogue "Romeo and Juliet" to the old people. "Look at the East, Juliet, get down here!" "Romeo, you really eat too much." The witty statements in this cross-talk which was adapted from the Western masterpieces, emerged in an endless stream, coupled with the vividly action of the performers, making the aged laugh heartily frequently.

Student party members gave them some simple health guidance within the limits of their ability, exhorted the old people to cherish their body and do regular medical examinations. Meanwhile, the other students went to the rooms to accompany the elderly who was inconvenient to talk, and chatted a lot with them. Seeing the students of the same age as their grandchildren, they became talkative, delighted, wearing a smiling face and holding the student's hands tightly. Some of them taught the red songs and sang with students alternatively, making a harmonious atmosphere.
