Since 2017, the cognitive ability of Yin's grandma began to deteriorate. Since then, Yin has become one of the caregivers in her family, taking care of her granny's diet, health and emotion. Before the epidemic, every summer, granny would return to her hometown in Xiamen in the mainland China to gather with her sons and other relatives there. During granny's visit to her hometown, Yin would take this opportunity to get some rest and do her own business. However, after the outbreak, Yin's granny has not returned to Xiamen for more than two years. Now she stays at home almost every day. Her cognitive decline seems to become more serious, and she is more eager to keep her family members close to her, especially Yin.
