In the Huishui Bay Road community of Jingyuan Road Street in Chengguan District, there exists a unique "university" — a place free from academic pressure and employment worries, where the only sounds are the cheerful voices of learners, melodious tunes, and radiant smiles. This is Lanya Senior University, a cultural refuge dedicated to the elderly in the area, where they can learn, find joy, and contribute meaningfully.
As one steps into Lanya Senior University, the diverse range of courses available is truly eye-catching. The school offers popular classes in vocal music, dance, Tai Chi, and more, fully catering to the varied learning needs of seniors. "I really enjoy music, and the teachers here are very professional, so I enrolled to study," said 76-year-old student Wang Weiping excitedly. Her experience embodies Lanya Senior University’s commitment to helping seniors enhance their physical well-being and enrich their spiritual lives.
To ensure quality education, Lanya Senior University has hired a team of experienced and patient professional instructors and industry experts. Vocal class instructor Yin Wenying is a seasoned music teacher with a straightforward yet effective teaching method; dance class teacher Chen Jie has won awards in international ballroom competitions, imparting both technical skills and stage presence to her students. This professional faculty provides systematic and high-quality teaching services, allowing students to deepen their interests and hobbies.
"Our students are extremely enthusiastic about learning; they do not seek diplomas but genuinely pursue knowledge, art, and a beautiful life. As teachers, our role is to devote ourselves completely to making their later years even more vibrant through learning," stated vocal instructor Yin Wenying.
Yang Lixin, the head of Lanya Senior University in Chengguan District, emphasized, "We always adhere to our original teaching philosophy of 'learning for seniors, joy for seniors, and contribution for seniors.' In the future, we will continue to optimize our course offerings and enhance service levels, allowing more seniors to find a sense of belonging, fulfillment, and happiness here, and helping each elder discover their passion and value."
In Chengguan District, attending senior university is becoming a new trend in elderly care. At Lanya Senior University, silver-haired students are reigniting their dreams and displaying their brilliance, demonstrating that "it is never too late to start anew" and painting a vibrant picture of colorful later life.
