摘　　要：Short videos shot at a nursing home in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin are aimed at enriching the inner world of its elderly residents and maintaining their optimistic life view.Agroup of senior citizens face the camera and deliver lines from a scripted sketch ending with the homespun homily,“There are some parents who always compare their children with other people’s children,but they never think to compare themselves with other parents.”The occasional bloopers of these senior players make fellow actors fall about laughing.But rather than reproving them,the director joins in the merriment.This is not a stage rehearsal or movie set scenario,but a video shooting taking place at a nursing home in the northern Chinese city of Tianjin.Since last April,Jingya Nursing Home,in an effort to enrich the lives of its elderly residents,has taken the new approach of shooting short videos.These have since attracted nearly a million followers and scored over six million likes on Douyin,the Chinese version of TikTok.
