A man with a pacifier in a home for the elderly in
Beijing. China's population over 65 is expected to surge to more than 300
million in the next decade – which will be about 20 percent of the overall
population. Many of the elderly will not be able to care for themselves, and
as China's social structure modernizes, neither will their children. A decade
ago there were just a few hospices catering to the needs of the elderly in
China, but today just the city of Beijing has dozens.
