In recent years, with the attention and support of the county party committee and the county government, the sports work for the elderly in Wuyuan County, Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province has been carried out prosperously and vigorously. Each of the 17 townships (towns, streets) in the county has more than 8 fitness teams for the elderly, and different forms of fitness events for the middle-aged and elderly are held every year. With the efforts of fitness enthusiasts and the help of counterpart associations, the local fitness activities for the elderly are further extended to the community.

The Qiliting community in Ziyang Town, Wuyuan County is close to the county industrial park. There is a large population here, and there is a strong demand for fitness among middle-aged and elderly people. At the urgent request of the residents, the community established a waist drum team for middle-aged and elderly people. But after the team was established, it has been suffering from no suitable fitness place. After learning about the situation, Dai Shuichun, chairman of the Wuyuan County Senior Sports Association, conducted a survey in August this year, and held a discussion with the responsible persons of the relevant parties to coordinate the fitness venue. After in-depth and meticulous work, the person in charge of the local building materials city agreed to use part of the parking lot as a fitness spot for the middle-aged and elderly waist drum team in Qiliting community.

With the venue, the waist drum team began to grow gradually, and more than 70 people have signed up to participate. In order to make the fitness activities of the waist drum team go smoothly, everyone took active actions and made silent contributions regardless of returns. Captain Fang Yueqiao's family mobilized. The teacher was too far away, so Fang Yueqiao’s husband circled around the county for 8 nights to pick up the teacher’s lectures and send it back. Carry it home; Fang Yueqiao's son-in-law also paid for the electrician to install lights for the fitness spot... The teacher, Mei Fang, lives five kilometers away, and has his lover's car picked up every night, and he is obliged to teach dance at the Qiliting fitness spot. After the waist drum team was established, Shi Fuying, president of the county waist drum association, took out more than 2,000 yuan from the pension to buy waist drums to donate to the waist drum team.

The story of the Qiliting Community Waist Drum Team is just a microcosm of the sports work for the elderly in Wuyuan County. At present, the fitness and sports activities for middle-aged and elderly people in various communities (villages) in Wuyuan County have been effectively developed. 212 villages (communities) have established fitness teams and organized various forms of fitness activities for the elderly.
