Oh, yes. I use my phone to message my friends and family every day. I actually learned how to use smartphones at the community center near my house.

# data[].attributes.body
My biggest goal right now is to feel more connected with other people. I wish I could make more friends so I wouldn’t feel so lonely. It’s not always easy to put yourself out there, but I know it’s something I need to work on.

"if you don't communicate with others, u know, u may become depressed and dementia. So i would say, to communicate more is better"

# data[].attributes.body
Yeah, I’ve got two kids. We usually have a little chat, and that just makes my day better. It’s really nice to catch up with them, you know? But if they are busy I feel very lonely

# data[].attributes.body
I’m retired now for more than 10 years. I Feel happy, my grandson is very well behaved

# data[].attributes.body
Maybe providing more financial support would help.

# data[].attributes.body
Because my home is very nice, my home is like a garden, I’m very happy, my grandson is also very good

"the best way is to mix ppl around and letting them exchange ideas, and uh you know, make some group activities"

# data[].attributes.body
For me, family is everything. I try to stay positive and keep myself healthy so I can be there for my loved ones whenever they need me. I don’t want them to worry about me, so I try to take care of myself. Staying fit and keeping busy really helps my mental well-being, but when I’m not feeling well physically, it’s much harder to stay positive.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that I am healthy, my kids and my grandchildren are very good so it makes me happy.

# data[].attributes.body
When I face challenges, I think about my family, and that helps me stay strong. I try to stay positive for them. If I have problems, I talk to my family about it—they’re always there for me, and that makes a big difference.

# data[].attributes.body
Very good, everyone is very good. I have many friends, and we all meet up, we talk and talk about mental well-being. Talk about everything. Feels that they will care for me more. Just like how you all care for me.

# data[].attributes.body
"Just want to make sure that all the children are growing up and doing well. And I'm happy. Nothing to accomplish anymore"

# data[].attributes.body
I think it’s important to stay active and keep a positive mindset. Having something to look forward to each day makes a big difference.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t need because I take care of myself very well, my son, my grandsons take care of each other very well. I can take care of many people. Some elderly don’t know how to exercise I will teach him. When I see some elderly people being unhappy, I can make them happy. When I see some elderly people walking with slanted back, I will teach them how to walk

# data[].attributes.body
I’m retired now, I don’t have many chances to interact with people outside of my family. I think that if I could get out more or meet new people, it would help me feel less isolated.

# data[].attributes.body
I haven’t really started any new hobbies recently. I guess I just haven’t found something that I’d really enjoy doing, but I’m open to new ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
i try to keep a routine, I help with the house chores, and I do some yoga every day

# data[].attributes.body
"same liking or hobby, its easier to mix together,"

# data[].attributes.body
We feel very comfortable when we have good physical health, naturally we will have a healthy mental well-being

# data[].attributes.body
"so if we don't do anything we end up reserved, and it eventually becomes dementia"

# data[].attributes.body
When I was young, I own a business. I opened a grocery store, do business so only care about money. Now that I’m retired, I only care about my health. I’m satisfied now.

# data[].attributes.body
Right now, I’m not involved in any community activities , it would be a good way to meet new friends and feel more connected to others. I really think participating in these kinds of things would help with the loneliness I sometimes feel.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m really close to my family. I live with my son and grandson, and I feel so happy when they’re around. Some of my other family members visit when they can, and I always look forward to seeing them. But, when they’re busy with work or school, I do feel lonely.

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t have a lot of friends, so there isn't a lot of people I can talk to. That’s one reason why I enjoy working; it gives me a chance to talk to other people, so I don’t feel so lonely and i can have a sense of purpose in my life. But I have also gotten used to being on my own

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that I am healthy, my kids and my grandchildren are very good so it makes me happy.

# data[].attributes.body
I’m closest to my wife, my big daughter, second son, third daughter, fourth daughter. It depends, small daughter is very busy so we rarely meet, we will make phone calls sometimes. I meet with the rest every day. Very happy when we meet, same goes for the rest of you. These makes my mental well-being very good. I also practice qi gong, yoga swim in the afternoon, and walks most of the time.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not participate in any community activities. I do qi gong, yoga and swimming. Because all these activities already take up all of my time, I practice qi gong for 2 hours, swims for 2 hours and runs for 1 hour. Does not make me feel tired

# data[].attributes.body
"yes most of the elderly have these kind of issues..., normally we would want to have these kinds of grouping together"

# data[].attributes.body
I face no challenges now; I don’t think I will have any challenges because I know how to solve it as well my mental well-being.

# data[].attributes.body
Mental well-being is being happy everyday and not having any worries.

# data[].attributes.body
Because I know how to adjust my mental well-being make myself happy

# data[].attributes.body
Comfortable but I’m not very familiar with it. I only know how to make phone calls. I will use it to contact my family

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes I don’t have many people to talk to, and I do feel lonely. I think if I had more opportunities to meet people or just talk to someone, it would really help me feel better. I know socializing is important for my mental health, and I’d love to be able to make more friends and feel less isolated.

# data[].attributes.body
Don’t need, it is enough

# data[].attributes.body
"of course, i have to make sure of good mental wellness, uh if needed i'd go see doctor

# data[].attributes.body
I don’t feel lonely at all now. I have many friends, grandson, sons and daughters in law. Not at all.
