On 25 January 2021,a special restaurant named the'Unforgettable Restaurant'was opened in a prime locality of Shanghai,China;it emerged from a popular publicly broadcast welfare TV programme of the same name.1 This restaurant's waiters are older patients with cognitive impairment,and the cumu-lative number of views for the programme has now exceeded 1.4 billion online.23 After the show was broadcast for two consecutive years,the filming party decided to open the restaurant officially,and the waiting duties were assumed by older people living with disability and dementia.The restaurant's goal is to change Chinese society's inherent views on the issues of disability and dementia and to remind the public to focus on a series of issues including the reintegration of older people living with disability and dementia to re-serve others and to rebuild public evalua-tions regarding them.
