1989, China designated the Double Ninth Festival as "Old People's Day". Since then, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month has become a day for us to respect, respect, love and help the elderly. Someone here can't help asking, respecting the old and loving the young is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Do we need to be reminded here? Indeed, China has had policies and regulations to take care of the elderly in past dynasties. For example, the Han dynasty clearly pointed out that "unfilial people will be beheaded." When Zhu Yuanzhang was emperor, he specially ordered the state governments to provide rice to the local decent old people every month and meat every year. But I want to tell you a set of data here. There is a survey in Oriental Time and Space: Do you know your parents' birthdays? What is the result? 70% people know, 30% people know or don't know. You may think that you still know most of them, but if we take this as a sample, you will find that this is really an amazing number.
We should know that the main people surfing the Internet in China are young and middle-aged, and most of them have certain cultural literacy, which is the backbone of society and the hope of the nation. But they forgot their parents' birthdays and their parents who were born and raised. How can such a man say that he will serve the people? What's more, some people not only don't take care of their parents, but also beat their fathers and scold their mothers, treat others coldly and treat others as others. You know, we will grow old one day. As the saying goes, "Son beats Lao Zi, generation after generation!" Caring for the elderly means caring for ourselves!
From 1950 to the end of 1990s, the global elderly population increased by 176%, and China increased by 2 17%. In the next 25 years of this century, the global elderly population will increase by 90%, and the elderly population in China will increase by11%. We are gradually transitioning to an aging society, and the elderly will participate in all aspects of society as a larger group. Since the 1980s, countries all over the world have strengthened legislation on the elderly and made efforts to establish and improve various social security systems to cope with the arrival of an aging society. In my opinion, only when the problems of thousands of families in Qian Qian, Qian Qian are solved will the big social problems be solved; As long as everyone cares for the elderly, this society will naturally move towards harmony. This is the truth that "the old man is old, the old man is old".
In fact, for the elderly, they have a lot to learn from us, and many of them are still "doing something old and aiming high." Among them, Ji Xianlin, an academic master who is over 90 years old and was elected as "the person who touched China", kept writing. In his later works, he put forward many important opinions on China culture, the cultural exchange between the East and the West, and the human culture in the 2 1 century, which attracted wide attention at home and abroad. Hou Xianglin, a 95-year-old academician of China Academy of Sciences, comes to the office at 9: 00 every morning on time and continues to contribute to the development of petrochemical and petroleum industries in China. ...
This is enough to show that the rich knowledge and experience of the elderly is a valuable asset of our society. "It is never too late to say that Sang Yu is full of sunshine." We respect the elderly, that is, we respect their life course and pay tribute to their lives.
In life, we will inevitably encounter setbacks and failures. But when we calm down and talk to the old people, you will feel that they are so vicissitudes, and the experience they have gradually accumulated with their life time is so incisive. As "experienced people", they tell us what life is with their own experiences. Their healthy and optimistic attitude, spirit of self-improvement, consistent quality, detached and refined sentiment, indomitable will, kind and peaceful people, courage not afraid of difficulties, and thrifty virtue inspired future generations to move forward.
"There is a family, and there is a treasure." Shouldn't we do something for these old people who have made contributions to the motherland and our family, cherish them and help them?
As children, it is our duty to honor our parents. As citizens, it is our duty to help the elderly. Although this responsibility and obligation can not be guaranteed to the maximum extent. It is precisely because of this that we should work harder and start from scratch, so that the baton of respecting, loving, respecting and helping the elderly will run forever.
On the ninth day of September, the two suns meet, namely the Double Ninth Festival and the Festival for the Elderly. So, what is old?
"Old, Kao Ye, seventy years old." This is explained in Shuowen.
In Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the word "Lao" is the image of an old man with crutches.
What does "old" mean?
It means old age and physical decline, which means the exhaustion of life and the end of life; However, it also means nearly a hundred years of life experience, which means rich experience and profound knowledge.
Needless to say, every seemingly ordinary old man who plays Deng Jiaxian, the founding father, and Ji Xianlin, the master of oriental literature, has devoted all his efforts to the growth of his children and played an inestimable role in the development of socialism in China.
They were born at the mercy of the Chinese nation and suffered a lot. Their childhood was spent in the civil war and was deeply influenced by the war; Their youth were active in the period of the founding and construction of New China. Their youth appeared in the battlefield and rear of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea; In their heyday, there was a fire of reform and opening up. They are an indispensable part of China's modern economic and cultural development.
Everyone will get old, and the elderly have played an important role in social construction and development. Therefore, we should respect and care for the elderly.
China is a country of etiquette and respects the ancient traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Filial piety is also an extremely important aspect of Confucian culture. During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the vassal states were divided and wars were frequent, and the princes of the vassal states still put filial piety first: an old man over 70 years old did not have to work for a son; Older people over 80 years old, the second son does not have to wait; Old people over 90 years old, the whole family does not have to wait; It is stipulated in the Qin Law that anyone who beats or maltreats his grandparents or great-grandparents who have reached the age of 60 will be exiled or sentenced to death; In the Western Han Dynasty and the Eastern Han Dynasty, old people who were over the age of ancient times could enjoy high treatment, and offenders or insults would be punished. The imperial edict of the king's staff records the provisions of respecting the elderly in Han Dynasty, which shows that the traditional virtue of respecting the elderly in China was determined by law more than 2,000 years ago. In foreign countries, respect for the elderly is also advocated. For example, Australia will hold "Respect for the Elderly Week" in Sydney. ...
In ancient times, we respected the elderly and said "respect". We should not only support the elderly, but also respect and understand them, enrich their emotions, enrich their lives and make them happy.
"A stranger in a foreign land misses his family on holidays. I know from a distance how high my brothers climb, and there is one person missing from the dogwood. " In retrospect, I was deeply touched when I sang "My Brothers in Shandong on Mountain Holiday" again. Time flies, praise the classics again, and go to Chongyang.
Respecting, loving and helping the elderly are the traditional virtues of our Chinese nation and the precious spiritual wealth handed down by our ancestors. In ancient China, there were 24 stories of filial piety, such as "seeking carp on the ice" and "tasting soup and medicine". "I am old, and people are old" has become the criterion of being a man.
When they have the ability, they dedicated their youth to our country. * * * and China's mansion were built with their hard work and even their lives. Nowadays, they are too old to work, so we who have the ability should take care of them and let them spend their old age safely.
Our beloved President Mao Zedong is a model of respecting the elderly. 1959, Chairman Mao returned to his hometown-Shaoshan, Hunan. In those days in his hometown, he specially invited the old people in his hometown to dinner. When he made a toast to an old man in his seventies, the old man said, "How dare you, Chairman?" Chairman Mao said, "It is right to respect the elderly and the virtuous." This incident became a much-told story for a while. Chairman Mao once said: "It is not difficult for a person to do a little good, but it is difficult to do good all his life" to measure and ask himself to do more good for the elderly.
Respecting the elderly means respecting the laws of life and social development and respecting history. Parents have children, and children must honor their parents, which is the responsibility of children. . The elderly have made great contributions to the cause of revolution and construction. Their wisdom and experience are the precious wealth of the party and the country, and they have built a society. Old people should be respected by society and need people to love them.
Old people are our elders. They have worked hard all their lives and made certain contributions to society. "The old man is a living library", "Every family has an old man, everyone will be old, everyone will respect the old, and society will be better ..."
Virtue is actually a warm hand extended when you need help; A fiery heart handed over when you need to talk; When you need care, offer cordial condolences. Let's act together to respect, love and help the elderly. It is our bounden duty to make the world full of sunshine and love!
If one day, your study is excellent, but if you can't respect, love and help the elderly, you are not a person with excellent academic performance.
There are countless examples of this. Finally, let's work together for "respecting, loving and helping the elderly and building a harmonious left banner"!
The society is aging gradually. How can the elderly enjoy their old age and eliminate worries for their children? How can people in the whole society truly respect and care for the elderly? How to make the elderly regain their vitality in creating a harmonious society ... Recently, the author braved the cold to come to the warm and pleasant hot spring apartment for the elderly in Linyi County. Here, we see a large group of old people living happily here. Respecting and loving the elderly must first respect the elderly.
Linyi Hot Spring Apartment for the Aged has established a lofty concept of respecting and loving the elderly in the early days. The founder is determined to create first-class achievements, build first-class hardware facilities, offer first-class love and provide first-class services ... The apartment is located in Sanxingtai, the highest place in Linyi County, surrounded by beautiful rural scenery. The most unique thing is that there is a geothermal hot spring well. Hot springs are rich in various minerals, and old people can soak in hot springs here twice a week. In addition, there are various recreational facilities. In the interview, Yan Shuling, the manager of the apartment, told the reporter: Our employees' service aim is to do their children's filial piety and show their true feelings among competitors. We strive for first-class service and strive to make our hot spring apartment for the elderly a warm home and a commendable social welfare institution.
Sometimes the pressure of work and society can't make children filial in front of their parents, but they are more worried about whether the service of the apartment for the elderly can reassure them. Therefore, the business philosophy of the old-age care institution must be based on good humanized service, and the family service should be infiltrated into every detail with love. In Linyi Hot Spring Apartment for the Aged, the old people live happily. Fitness, entertainment, chatting and rich daily life make them extraordinarily energetic and happy. Whether in the health of the elderly or the elderly who can't take care of themselves, the service staff here can take care of them patiently, meticulously and thoughtfully. The first object that nurse Jing took care of was Shen Lao, an 83-year-old retired cadre. Shen Lao suffers from sequelae of cerebral thrombosis. When he first moved into the apartment, he was delirious, inarticulate, incontinent, unable to sleep day and night, and completely lost his ability to take care of himself. Xiaojing started from dribs and drabs and carried out all-round nursing for Shen Lao. The clothes and bedding dirty by the old man's urine and urine, Xiao Jing washed with dirty things, and there was never a bad smell in the room and clothes. In addition to feeding the elderly three meals a day, she also washes their faces and feet in the morning and evening to help Shen Lao carry out rehabilitation exercises, as kind and meticulous as her father. In order to make the elderly happy, she insisted on turning on the radio every day to let Shen Lao listen to music and watch TV with the elderly at night, doing everything possible to make the elderly full of confidence in overcoming the disease. Shen Lao's children said with emotion: "This true feeling makes us all feel ashamed ..."
In the sense of modern society, providing for the aged is no longer to meet the needs of the elderly, but to create a warm, harmonious and beautiful living environment for the elderly. Walking into the hot spring apartment for the elderly in Linyi County, no matter where you are in the courtyard, you will feel lush trees, flowers and plants competing for each other, and distant mountains and rivers echo each other. It's like an evergreen garden, with exercise and fitness equipment neatly arranged among flowers and trees. The design of the whole courtyard is full of consideration for the elderly: fitness, leisure, viewing and enjoying the cool, so that the old people can be placed in a beautiful environment and breathe fresh air as soon as they leave the room. During the interview, we came to the "home" of Mrs. Guo's apartment, where refrigerators, color TVs and high-end furniture are all available. Lao Guo said happily, "After my wife died a few years ago, I tried to live in this apartment in order to reduce the burden on my children. I was fascinated by this apartment because it has elegant environment, good food, good life and better service. Later, I gritted my teeth and sold the house in the city and moved here to settle down. I want to live here until I see my wife ... "
On the occasion of the Double Ninth Festival (also known as "Respect for the Elderly"), Zhao Yan Metropolis Daily published an article saying that 897 centenarians in Zhao Yan will spend their old age peacefully, and the centenarians will receive a monthly allowance of 100 yuan.
The news is comforting. Old people have worked hard for family and social progress for many years. Health and longevity are our wishes. At the same time, we hope to give them allowances, so that they can feel the care and comfort of the party, the state, the government and society.
You can't forget your ancestors by counting classics. The modern civilization we now enjoy, including the peaceful living and working environment, is the result of the unremitting efforts made by the old people in their young years, even today's old age, to contribute to society and benefit future generations. Therefore, we can't forget our old friends, nor can we forget today's hard-won good times. We should respect and love the elderly, so that our society will be harmonious and our family will be happy.
From the perspective of historical and cultural heritage, respecting and loving the elderly is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation, regardless of other ethnic groups. However, the reason why the Chinese nation is a Chinese nation, the reason why blood is thicker than water, and the reason why it has experienced vicissitudes is because it has a strong "human touch." Respecting and loving the elderly is an important aspect.
Every nation and culture has its vitality and unique charm, but the Chinese nation, with deep feelings, has condensed the population of China/Kloc-0.3 billion and the vast number of compatriots and overseas Chinese, and those traditional virtues (including the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young) are indispensable. Lin Xiuzhen, a "good man" in Hebei Province, regards the widowed elderly as his object of support and respect. Tangshan City often adopted many elderly people in Zhenzhen, setting an example for the society to respect the elderly. And the family respects the elderly, which we deserve. It's not difficult to go home and have a look, talk to the old people on the phone and talk about their family, is it? But it can bring infinite happiness and beautiful aftertaste to the elderly in their later years, and also cultivate our own sentiment of being a man.
The elderly contribute to society and family, and are a treasure house of knowledge and wisdom. They not only nurture us, but also spread the truth of being a man to us through words and deeds. Although we sometimes think that the old people are old-fashioned in knowledge and too orthodox in thinking, they are still the last and most determined support in our hearts. After we hit a wall in reality, we still feel that the old people have passed on their wisdom, and we still feel it. This is the soul of our nation, passed down from generation to generation through the old people. Guide our nation to live endlessly, and guide our nation to stand tall among the nations of the world.
Therefore, it is natural for the government to provide for the aged, the society to provide for the aged and the family to provide for the aged. This is the reason for the non-independence Double Ninth Festival ("respecting the elderly").
To care for the elderly, we must respect the elderly, respect their way of thinking and independent choice, provide more convenience for them to feel caring, create a better environment for the elderly to support themselves, let them have a happy lifestyle, and create conditions for them to build new self-confidence in social values and family values.
Caring for the elderly, we should start from ourselves, from the things around us, and from now on.
