During the holiday, radio stations, schools, reading clubs and other organizations went to the Cihang Health Center in Wufengshan, Changqing for on-the-spot investigation and observation, and held a special seminar on the construction of socialized service system for old-age health care. The experts, scholars and professors who attended the meeting made keynote speeches, and most of them talked about the topic of health preservation.
It's quite pleasant to talk about health preservation in Wufeng Mountain. At this time, the autumn colors are thick, there are trees with red leaves in the green hills, the persimmons in Xiao Ye are exquisite and lovely, the red hawthorn shakes its head in the autumn wind, the air is filtered by layers of forests, and with the fragrance of trees and wild flowers, there are 72 cold springs in Wufeng Mountain, with pure water quality and sweet taste. It is also wise for Cihang to choose here to engage in old-age health care.
Wufeng Mountain is the gas field. According to legend, the Jade Emperor's five beautiful daughters accompanied them to Wufeng Mountain, lusting after its beauty and unwilling to leave, turning them into five beautiful peaks: Huixian, Zhixian, Wang Xian, Juxian and Qunxian. It is also one of the largest Taoist holy places in ancient Jiangbei, belonging to Mount Tai, and is also called "Three Mountains in the Middle of Shandong" with Mount Tai and Lingyan Mountain. Those Taoist temples are hidden deep in the quiet valley of Wufeng Mountain.
Climb up the stairs next to the apartment building and you will reach the back of Wufeng Mountain. A rugged and steep mountain road leads to the peak in the depths of white clouds. Maybe I haven't left for a long time. The mountain road is covered with weeds and small trees, and the wild dates on the roadside are strung together. It seems that my hands and mouth are not enough. Just sit down, take care of yourself first, take care of yourself first and enjoy it slowly. The clear blue sky is transparent and bright, and a few idle clouds are floating around like the five fairies of the Jade Emperor. Pieces of fallen leaves render a calm autumn color. In the hot summer, Shan Ye is quiet, and the red color declines with the autumn wind. I really want to live like an old tree in Wufeng Mountain. I am used to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze, calm and comfortable.
We advocate Taoism's thoughts of nature, indifference, harmony between man and nature, and lotte know life, but we don't pursue Taoism's thoughts of immortality. People die of old age and illness, which is a natural law. Death is not terrible. I have written many articles about facing death, all of which are based on the same tone: death as death. See death as the beginning of another journey, the reincarnation of new life.
But getting old slowly is not as romantic as the song says, listening to music back to back, watching the sunset hand in hand, sitting in a rocking chair and chatting slowly, getting old slowly, and getting too old to go anywhere. The old days were a long and painful process.
However, the premise is that those who have no illness or disaster and can take care of themselves can spend their old age at home or share a room, like Wufengshan Cihang Pension Center, taking care of each other and providing for the elderly happily. However, if you are bedridden for a long time, I'm sorry, most pension institutions may shut you out. After all, it is not a professional hospital, and it can't afford any risks. It can only be sent to the hospital for treatment, which has started suffering and pain for patients and their families.
I have seen too many situations of the elderly after a long illness, or the situation of being unattended or lonely. The story before the bed can be made into endless series, or sadness, or relief, or entanglement, or anger, all kinds of complicated feelings.
Those who take care of their old mother who has been ill in bed for more than 30 years, from the age of 30, keep eating and drinking Lazar until they turn themselves into a hunchbacked yellow-faced woman. Later, while taking care of them, they complained and even confided: I really look forward to my mother leaving and watching her suffer. I can't replace it. I'm exhausted. Not everyone can afford to pay for the care workers, even if they spend a high price, they may not get high quality. The quality of care workers must be considered.
Because the old man was ill, he did not trust others to take care of him after leaving the hospital and retired early to take care of him. This can be said to have sacrificed one's future and career, and lost money and material costs. Everyone knows how different retirement and on-the-job treatment are, especially middle-level leaders. Of course, being a child is willing and without complaint, but after all, there is no choice. Sociologically speaking, it is a waste of effective human resources. Without worries, if you can give full play to your expertise for a few more years, you can do more for the society.
What's more, in order to take care of the elderly, the family also hired a housekeeper. Some things are hard to avoid, so I want to say something to my children. When people get old, the world will shrink to the point where there is only one room. Many times, the elderly need not only material support, but emotional and spiritual needs. Children naturally feel uneasy and often run home to comfort and accompany the elderly. If they are sick or something happens, they can only stay at their parents' home, and their small home depends on others. In the long run, caring for the elderly may neglect the small family, and marital discord is inevitable, and marital discord and even divorce are common.
Now it is very good to say that most people over 70 years old have many children. Several families try their best to hire nurses or take turns to accompany them, and they can take care of themselves. They are afraid of incurable diseases that will never die. In addition, some of their children are still working, and they are really physically and mentally damaged and hopeless, so they can join their families, bodies and careers. Parents who treat us as only children. There are fewer and fewer scenes of children and grandchildren around their knees, and a large number of lonely old people are faced with the problem of how to start from beginning to end. Providing for the aged is not only a personal problem, but also a social problem.
One of my high school classmates passed the exam when she graduated and went to study in the United States, where she got married and had children. She doesn't come twice a year, and her parents live in the same building as me. When her father was dying, she asked for leave and waited for a month. Her father turned the corner and she returned to America regardless. But less than a month later, her father was critically ill again and the rescue was invalid. My classmate can't go back. In fact, the last time I came to see the ending, I knew it was not easy to meet Qian Shan. In the last period of my life, my father and children are also suffering from the bitterness of where you will go. The reality is cruel and unbearable.
It is difficult to solve the problems of aging and providing for the aged in cities, and the elderly in rural areas are afraid to contact them, and even their present situation is terrible.
Our generation did not rely on the only child to provide for the elderly long ago. If it doesn't sound good, it would be nice to collect the body. Many social problems cannot be solved in a short time. Before the standardization of an aging society, we may have to suffer. We hope that the government and the private sector will build institutions for the aged at all levels, with appropriate guarantees, clear rights and responsibilities, and train well-trained nursing staff. They should not only meet the needs of the elderly in material life and care, but also have enough humanistic care, so that the elderly can live a truly happy life in their later years, share their worries for the elderly in the world, and help busy children to fulfill their filial duties.
Providing for the aged is not simply to prolong life, but to pay attention to the quality of life while alive. In the west, religious belief is used to alleviate people's fear of death, and hospice care is used to comfort patients' pain and confusion. However, China is not supported by huge religious beliefs, and the Confucian filial piety culture is also difficult to bear. Many overtreatment tramples on the dignity of life. Near the end of life, it should be a beautiful and happy thing to let life wither like a flower in late autumn, without pain and burden, bid farewell to family and close your eyes in the arms of love.
