Shengchong Township is located in the East Shengchong Basin under the cap mountain, the population of the Korean ethnic group accounted for 85%, the elderly nearly 2,000 people. 1982, the elderly in the East Shengchong Township in the care of the township party committee set up an elderly association. 1984, the elderly would like to set a holiday for themselves, after discussion, because of the 15th of August, the ripening of the year, and the anniversary of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, and so the day was set as their holiday. In this way, on August 15, 1984, the Elderly Festival was born in Dongshengchong Township. 1986, the Yanbian State Committee promoted the festival to the whole state, and it became the festival for the elderly in the whole state.

The activities of the festival include honoring exemplary people who respect the elderly and love the young, wishing the elderly a happy birthday, and organizing cultural and sports activities suitable for the characteristics of the elderly. It is conducive to safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly in the society and the family, and also urges the elderly to give full play to their spare time and pass on the traditional Korean virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young from generation to generation.
