The artist's retirement apartment in the story is so beautiful. A large area of grass, a sturdy tree hugged by several people, weekly music lessons for young people, a room and breakfast like a five-star hotel. Every ageing artist, the dignity is simply beyond imagination, the gentleman wears suits and shoes every day, and the lady wears makeup and hair every day with the appropriate jewelry. What I am concerned about is the rehearsal of the show on the performance day, although I am also afraid that the talent and talent that pass by with the years are no longer.
Timid people are not enough to face old age. And the movie may have been a Platonic picture of old age. The heroine actually met her ex-husband who still loves her ex-husband decades after the divorce - what they love is your face when you were young, only I love you when you are old.
I can't help but think of my parents who were born in the 1960s. Due to historical reasons, their education level is not high. At this stage, they will soon be 60 years old. What will their old life look like? Health is already the biggest reward. In addition, daily walks in the community garden, playing small mahjong, chatting with decades old neighbors about the changes in atmosphere, the rise and fall of vegetable prices, and sharing WeChat articles on health care . If you are fortunate enough not to be plagued by disease, the fun of the market under freedom can already make you feel at ease as a child. Last week on Mother's Day off, I went to the cultural center of the community for a walk. Music calligraphy and dance classes were arranged in each classroom. The comprehensive classroom on the top floor is a theatrical performance for Mother's Day. The uncles and aunts are dressed up, the chorus troops are already on standby under the stage, and the uncle saxophone on the stage is also handsome and mighty. On the basis of health, it is quite satisfying to be old and have fun.
The grandmother, whose husband is nearly 90 years old, has recently been admitted to a nursing home. The nursing home located in the suburbs of Pudong is a renovation of a hotel-style apartment. On the third floor, there is a hall with floor-to-ceiling windows, and there are tables and chairs for the elderly to gather. However, when we passed in the afternoon, perhaps because of the dirty nap time, there was no one there. There were four elderly people living in my grandma's room. One elderly person beside the bed had to rely on oxygen inhalation to maintain his vital signs all year round. The other elderly person was said to be mentally unstable, and the last one was also bedridden all year round. Grandma still has neat legs and a clear mind. When the nurse saw us going there, he was very enthusiastic. He came to chat and said that the old lady was in good spirits. The mother-in-law will bring some food to several other elderly people, so that everyone can take care of each other. Looking at it at the time, it seemed that the old man was at ease living there. Later, I gradually heard that the old lady and the roommate in the same room were unhappy and had a dispute over the use of a chair. Where is the peace of mind and decency in the nursing home? When the family visited, everything seemed okay. However, the elderly are also a small society. As they get older, they each have their own stubborn temperament. Nursing workers seem to be enthusiastic. If you let your parents live in a nursing home, I am afraid that there is no alternative.
My husband and I are both born in the 1985s, and retirement seems to be a relatively distant thing for us. A quality old age life is probably about developing a hobby. When you are young, it is an investment of time, and when you are older, your interests will in turn nourish your aging life. Just like an artist in a movie, he can also sing a song with his voice open, practice the piano every day, and life also has a rhythm and a rush. Not only hope to be healthy, but also look forward to a still open spiritual life, watching movies, traveling to see the world. As for the lives of children and grandchildren, they are independent of each other and not overly dependent. It looks like a good hope.
According to the current pension system in China, I am afraid that no matter how strong one's financial ability is, it is difficult to have the opportunity to live in the elderly apartment in the story. Most nursing homes use traditional models, which always make people think that it is difficult for the elderly in them to have a truly happy body and mind. In the face of the coming aging society, elderly communities and apartments are gradually becoming popular. In the face of the post-80s who have no children or who travel independently, they have a house, and they are neighbors with old friends who have similar interests. At the same time, they also have their own independent spiritual world and hobbies. Getting old is not a romantic thing, but maybe it shouldn't be too scary.
Now, in the midst of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, flowers, birds, fish and insects, cultivate a hobby, and when you get old, let it become a light in your spiritual world.
