For Hu Pingshan, 50 years old is the age to do things. She smiled. "If you don't go to work when you are still energetic and can't show your value, it would be a waste. I feel very happy to be able to do things that are helpful to society. "

From Beijing to Finland

Hu Pingshan 1972 was born in a compound in Haidian, Beijing. Her father works in a research institute and her mother is an obstetrician and gynecologist. Both of them are open-minded people and don't have too many demands on their daughters. Hu Pingshan doesn't need to take care of anything, everything is in the family's charge.

Hu Pingshan grew up to adolescence in such a relaxed family environment. This also developed her free and easy character.

Sun Tao, a friend, described Hu Pingshan as "very cheerful and talkative when she was young. She was a typical Beijing girl and a big guy's pistachio". This character accompanied Hu Pingshan until middle age.

Huping Mountain, Finland 1997

When Hu Pingshan was 24 years old, her parents arranged for her to study abroad. She obeyed the arrangement and flew to Finland near the northern end of the earth with her luggage.

When he first arrived here, Hu Pingshan needed to adapt to the cold climate completely different from that in China, get used to the social way with a sense of distance between Finnish natives, and endure the salivating when he could not eat coriander.

But studying abroad also has many warm memories. Because of his cheerful personality, Hu Pingshan is very familiar with a group of China students, who often come over for dinner. "A large group of people, riding bicycles, came to this jiaozi today and went there to chat tomorrow."

After graduation, Hu Pingshan went to work in a trading company in Finland, responsible for sales and contacting the China market. During this period, she got married and had children, and her husband was Finnish.

After marriage, taking care of family and work did not bring too much pressure to Hu Pingshan. Finland has three years of maternity leave, and she takes her children to the next year and returns to the workplace again. "The working environment in Finland is relatively free and open, and it is also very friendly to women." She said, "But because of my work, I often travel, so my husband takes care of the children more."

In this way, Hu Pingshan lived the life of an ordinary office worker step by step, and changed several companies during the period, but the work content was always the same.

A turning point after layoffs

The smooth life was broken when Hu Pingshan entered the threshold of 40 years old. Some time after 20 1 1, Europe fell into a debt crisis, and Finland was also affected. Hu Pingshan was laid off twice in three years. At this time, her physical condition is also problematic. Insomnia and hair loss come to you, and she is easily tired every day.

20 13 before he was laid off for the second time, Hu Pingshan had a premonition and found a way out for himself early. She began to do two things, one is to look for job opportunities; The second is to start fitness.

Hu Pingshan took a group photo with his colleagues when he was a flight attendant.

Hu Pingshan still hopes to find a job related to China. Just then, she saw Finnair recruiting flight attendants, and the requirement was to know Chinese, so she immediately submitted her resume. Fortunately, the interview and physical examination passed smoothly. After six weeks of training, she put on a stewardess uniform for the first time in her life, which opened a new chapter in her life.

Hu Pingshan thinks that his life may have started at the age of 40. Before that, she was careless, had no plan and was quite indifferent to everything. But after the age of 40, she no longer went with the flow, but began to do things in a targeted manner and do what she liked.

As boyhood friends, Sun Tao and Hu Pingshan kept in touch. When they learned that Hu Pingshan had changed his job as a flight attendant, they were very surprised. "Her previous major and industry were far away from flight attendants, and I didn't expect to work in this job across banks." Sun Tao said, "While we bless her, we also admire her courage to make such a bold attempt."

For Hu Pingshan, becoming a stewardess is also a brand-new and wonderful experience. At first, she often flew between China and Finland, and later she flew between European countries. Meeting different colleagues and landing in different cities every time gave her a strong sense of freshness.

Hu Pingshan remembers that there are many tour groups and parent-child groups traveling from China to Finland every summer. And when she returns to China with the crew, she will also take advantage of the rare opportunity to go home to visit relatives.

After work, Hu Pingshan has always insisted on fitness. At first, it was to regulate physical fitness, and later it became a habit. "I feel too tired several times and don't want to go to the gym, but I will bite my teeth in the end." She said, "I won't regret it at all after I go, because the happiness after fitness is indescribable."

Hu Pingshan believes that fitness has brought her changes from the inside out, making her age slower and having more energy to do what she likes.

50-year-old reentry department

In 2020, the COVID-19 epidemic became popular all over the world. The airlines in Huping Mountain were grounded and all the flight attendants were laid off. Hu Pingshan lost his job at home for the third time. This year, she was 48 years old.

Some friends think that Hu Pingshan should probably "retire" at this point. After all, at the age of 50 in China, she has reached the age of returning to her family. What's more, in Finland, he can get unemployment benefits at home when he is unemployed.

Hu Pingshan won the third place in the Finnish National Bodybuilding Championship, and the respondents provided

But Hu Pingshan has not been idle. In August 2020, she signed up for a nursing training class for laid-off workers to provide nursing services for patients or the elderly at home. In June 5438+10, he participated in the Finnish National Bodybuilding Championship and won the third place as the only China participant.

Hu Pingshan found a new career direction because of his good performance in bodybuilding competition. She began to send resumes to some model companies and advertising companies in Finland, shoot photo and print advertisements, and sometimes play guest roles in TV series.

On the last day of Hu Pingshan's 49th birthday, he was invited to shoot a group of underwear ads. When I came to the scene, she was actually the youngest, and there were women aged 50, 60 and 70 who took pictures together. This made her feel a lot: "We will never be young again, but this does not mean that we have lost the qualification of beauty. The strength and beauty of mature women can be displayed at any age. "

But Hu Pingshan likes working as a flight attendant best. At the end of 20021,the airline she worked for for more than 6 years restarted its business and recruited flight attendants again. She applied for the job at once, but unfortunately she didn't succeed.

Not convinced, Hu Pingshan submitted his resume to two other airlines. This time, she summed up her failure experience, consulted her former colleagues in Finland and did her homework. In order to meet the interview requirements, she also spent a lot of time learning Finnish, needless to say, it was very hard.

Hu Pingshan returned to his post as a flight attendant.

Heaven rewards diligence. As the only person from China in the interview, she was accepted by two companies at the same time, and she chose one of them. Finnish airlines have no requirement on the age of flight attendants, as long as they have a physical examination every two years. In Finland, being older is an advantage in applying for flight attendants, because it means they have more service experience.

Never heard of "age anxiety"

Hu Pingshan returned to her beloved flight attendant industry. Now, most of her colleagues are young people aged 20 to 30, and she is in it and doesn't feel too much generation gap. "Most of my colleagues get along well. There is no conflict of interest between us and we get along equally. " She said.

At the end of June this year 165438+ 10, the World Cup kicked off in Qatar, and Hu Pingshan flew to Doha, Qatar, for several times, directly hitting the World Cup site. She was a little excited when describing what she saw and heard in Doha. "There are fans everywhere, and the atmosphere of the celebration is very strong."

When Sun Tao saw his friends constantly expanding their territory in new areas, he felt a lot. "I feel that Hu Pingshan is a person who does not give in to fate. At the age of 50, I am still challenging myself. " He said that Hu Pingshan's experience inspired him and his friends. "I also know some friends around the age of 50, who may be decadent because of family reasons or the influence of the epidemic. But Hu Pingshan is getting better and better in different fields, which is worth learning. We all envy her and are very proud of her. "

For Hu Pingshan, age has never actually become her problem. "Before the domestic media interview, I almost never heard of the word' age anxiety'." She said, "In Finland, people retire at the age of 65, so in my opinion, 50 is the right age to do things. If you don't work and show your value when you are full of energy, it will be a waste. I feel very happy to be able to do things that are helpful to society. "

In Hu Pingshan's view, sometimes people will set a limit for themselves, but as long as they do it, they will be surprised to find that people's energy is infinite. Sometimes I feel that I can retire now, but I can actually do a lot of things. In the future, she plans to fly from flight attendant to retirement, and may continue to engage in nursing work after retirement.

June, 5438+February this year, Hu Pingshan's story appeared in a hot search, and many netizens expressed their envy of her life experience. Hu Pingshan said that as long as you have enough courage and determination to do what you like, everyone can live a wonderful life.
