Yang, a 91-year-old woman from Beijing, shares her struggle with loneliness after her husband's death. This issue is widespread among the elderly in China, leading to the emergence of a "loneliness industry" worth over $7 billion. Wang Yingwei, who started a delivery service, provides not only meals but also companionship to seniors, creating strong bonds. Young people also face isolation, hiring companions for support. Experts note that many prefer paid relationships for emotional support, as they offer clarity and reduce the fear of disappointment. Yang expresses her newfound happiness through these connections.
