In Hanging Qi, Ordos City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, there is a Mongolian girl who has won the respect of the elderly with her professionalism and warmth, and has become the embodiment of the responsibility and dedication of workers in the new era. Her name is Irigui, and she is the deputy director of Mendesai Elderly Care Center. In 2025, she was awarded the title of Excellent Laborer of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Elderly care is a job that requires not only love, but also great physical and emotional commitment. Iriguy, a representative of the 90s generation, has been working in this field for 8 years. In 2017, immediately after completing her studies, she gave up a high-paying position and returned to her homeland with a firm intention to work in the field of elderly care. Having started her career as an ordinary employee, she actively improved her professional qualifications, took various courses and systematically expanded her knowledge and skills. Over time, Iriguy became a universal specialist in this field.

“When I first started working in this field, I couldn’t imagine how much an elder care specialist needs to know: how to provide psychological support, daily care, and basic medical care. When I didn’t know something, I learned from experienced colleagues, doctors, and nurses. If I did something wrong, I practiced over and over again, and also searched for information on the Internet,” recalls Irigui. Under her leadership, the Mendesai Center introduced an innovative care model that offers a range of health and care services, which significantly increased the happiness of the elderly.

“Being awarded the title of Excellent Labor Worker of the Autonomous Region is a great honor for me. However, it is not only an honor, but also a great responsibility. I want to be an exemplary example, share all my knowledge with other employees and help train more qualified specialists in elderly care,” Iriguy says with confidence.
