In the context of the increasing diversification of community governance, the active participation of community residents in community governance is a topic of discussion. There has been a growing body of research on resident involvement in governance. However, there is limited research on the role played by retired elderly individuals in this context. The role of retired elderly in community governance should not be overlooked. Based on research conducted in No.23 Community in Shihezi City, this paper analyzes the role played by retired elderly individuals in community governance through interviews and observations.
