　　Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon. The fact that most of the patients in the 80 - room clinic are aged people with diseases what will lead to death soon made the volunteers’ hearts heavy.

　　Ninety-one percent of the patients will spend the last days of their lives in the clinic, according to a survey by the hospital. For people at this stage of their lives, loneliness is even more dreadful than death itself,” said Li Wei, president of the hospital.

　　Daily visits and services by social workers and youth volunteers are a very important part of their programmer. A total of 330, 000 Beijing students from 119 universities and colleges have visited the hospital. Many continue to offer services in their spare time. They showered them with kindnesses. Some of them even volunteer to hold the hands of dying patients during the last minutes of their lives.

　　Yin Hang, a student from Beijing Medical College, said he felt“ the glory of life” as he saw the fading smile on the face of the old man who passed into a deep unconsciousness while he was holding his hands.
