1 年The project of the "Wonderful Life" was born In November 2022, one of the universities requires a research statement with the application to be submitted at the same time. I wrote about "Loneliness with Aging Population". After applying, I am attracted to this project on the elderly people of loneliness, there are currently 24 countries in the world with an elderly population exceeding 20% of the total population, 19 of which are in Europe, and the country with the highest elderly population rate is Japan, which is as high as 27%. They have too many stories, especially some elderly people, in the visible days, do they have any regrets in this life? If I don't expect to be a lonely elderly too, so from now on, do something to change this situation. On Nov 18th, God miraculously sent the "EU-Startups" competition information. In the last few hours when the registration was closed. "EU-Startups" has been of great help to me, to start named the project "Wonderful Life". Participating in "EU-Startups" make me try to be taken out the project from my mind and show it to others. It is "EU-Startups" that helped me make this project grows. Now, the "Wonderful Life" project is officially launched on May 31, 2023.
