China has entered a period of rapid population aging, with the elderly population1.69 billion, accounting for 1.2% of the total population, and the proportion is still growing rapidly. The physical and mental health of the elderly is also a social problem that cannot be ignored. Now that the social economy has developed and the pension system is relatively perfect, under normal circumstances, the material life of the elderly is still guaranteed.
However, people live in this world, not only material things, but also people of all ages. Of course, you can survive if you can eat and wear, but you lack spiritual communication and children's company. Many old people can only live in empty nests, which is their greatest bitterness and helplessness.
China's traditional filial piety is dying in today's society, and the corrosion of money makes the relationship between people very cold, even for family ties. Coupled with the pressure of survival, we have to work hard for a living every day, which makes many people often only pay attention to making money and ignore the care of their families.
You know, for an old man, it is undoubtedly the happiest old age and their favorite way of providing for the aged to enjoy family happiness, live a carefree life, and laugh and laugh around his children and grandchildren. Unfortunately, young couples have been trying their best to get a house in the city all their lives. They can't take over their parents' life together. Only by separating the two places can it be difficult to be filial.
Modern transportation is very developed. Within a thousand miles, you can easily go back and forth in one day. Lack of time can never be an excuse for not visiting parents. My parents are old and don't spend much time with them. Earn less money, give up some interests, spend more time with your parents, or take turns taking them with you.
During the winter and summer vacations, it is undoubtedly the most desirable life for all parents to spend more time with their grandchildren and bring them laughter and spiritual comfort. Even if the material conditions are almost the same, they will not care.
