This chapter portrays a discouraged, dispiriting attitude towards health-seeking of rural older people in China. Based on the case of health-seeking of Aunt Chens’s family collected from a 6-month’s field work in a rural Chinese hospital, this chapter depicts how discouragement and discrimination operate in older members’ health-seeking experiences, throughout which older people’s health care was devalued as worthless socioeconomic burden. Underpinning discouragement and devaluation is the cultural value that encourages older people to be enduring with suffering and restricted with health-seeking. Simultaneously, this chapter traces various sources of institutional and social structural impediments, as they intersect with unfavourable cultural values that normalise discouragement and decimation.
