I know an old foreign couple, both over 70 years old and both very fat. They won't help their children after retirement. Usually I grind my own coffee in the morning, and the coffee is ready. They sat down to drink coffee carefully and slowly, and then walked their dogs on the lawn not far from home. When they are together, there are always endless jokes. In the afternoon, they chatted with some old friends. After retirement, life seems to be full and happy. In fact, their son's life is very difficult. His son has three children. In order to support them, he has to work late every day. The old foreign couple said: live your own life. When a child grows up, he is an independent person. Whether their life is good or bad, poor or rich, has nothing to do with themselves. They are right, but our old people can't be so transparent about this issue, let alone so chic.

A: The concept-"decibel learning"

1, not disturbing others is the bottom line of life-there are others in my heart.

2. Not affecting others is the principle of being a man-respect others and be emotional.

Public place is a platform for everyone to enjoy-empathy and reason.

4. I have performed on various stages since I was a child-I am the backbone of entertainment at school, and I prefer various stages.

5. What to do at what age-drinking coffee, listening to music, mowing the lawn, doing housework, driving sightseeing and taking a holiday ... are the standards of old age life.

The life of the elderly in developed countries in Europe and America is much more colorful than that in China.

Next, I will briefly introduce the life of the elderly in developed countries in Europe and America.

1, overseas settlement type

Let me briefly talk about the retirement pension of the British middle class, which is divided into occupational pension (similar to social security) and national pension. Take the middle class as an example. After tax, it costs about 2,000 pounds a month.

This money is nothing in Britain, but if you go to Malaysia, India, Singapore and other Commonwealth countries, it will be a lot of money. Although India is backward as a whole, Bangalore, Chennai, Goa and other European and American countries are very suitable for the elderly.

Not to mention Malaysia and Singapore.

If you often travel to Thailand, you will find that there are a large number of retired single old men from developed countries in Europe and America in Thailand who rely on their pensions to pick up girls.

2. Types of continuing education

There are universities for the aged in developed countries in Europe and America, not to mention European countries such as Britain and France. Even in the United States, many private ordinary universities are free of tuition for retirees, and the elderly can attend senior universities and ordinary universities for free.

My high school classmate later went to the United States to study PhD, which was Arizona State University. He said that many 60-year-olds in their school reread their freshman year.

3. Types of global tourism

In fact, the main customers of "global cruise" travel in developed countries in Europe and America are retired old people and women in their own countries. These people are willing to spend money, so the main customers of many tourist cruise lines in Canada and the United States are elderly people over 70.

4. Elderly community

European and American countries have communities where only the elderly can buy a house. These communities are for the elderly, and the houses in these communities are specially designed for the elderly, especially those with inconvenient legs and feet.

At the same time, these community entertainment facilities are very complete, not only chess and cards, badminton and so on. Most of these old-age communities have golf courses. If you visit these communities, you will see many old people driving golf carts straight home.

5. Volunteers

Many elderly men and women can't afford the time, so they volunteer in museums and libraries. When I visited museums in America and Britain, I met many such volunteers.

In a museum in London, I also met an old lady who can speak Chinese. Only after asking did I know that she used to be a staff member of the British Embassy in China, and she was bored to volunteer in this museum after retirement.

To put it bluntly, the pensions of the elderly in developed countries in Europe and America are much higher than those in China, and the medical benefits are better than those in underdeveloped countries, so their retirement life is much more colorful than that in China.

I'm retired now and I'm finally free. After breakfast in the morning, people who go to work go out, stay in bed for a while, and then clean the stadium. I am the only one who has lunch at home, and sometimes I go to accompany my parents and cook and eat. Basically, I still like to be alone, drinking tea, listening to music, reading and walking, and enjoying the quiet years.

Old people in Europe and America disdain square dance. They think that western ballroom dancing is more elegant and noble than aunt's square dance. They have danced enough when they are old. It is not a pleasure to quit the ballroom and go home to plant flowers and grass now. Old people in the west like to support them alone. They don't like Chinese aunts to join in the fun. Let's dance the square dance together. Besides, there are laws in the western square that explicitly prohibit noise from disturbing people. Chinese aunts who have been naturalized in other countries repeatedly tried to dance in the square dance for an afternoon, but they were all forbidden and rushed out on the spot. It can be seen that square dance is difficult to carry out in Europe and America. Old people in the west are not interested in square exhibitions. They often go out for sightseeing, enjoy the natural scenery, entertain their lives and prolong their lives, thus killing their retirement time.

Recently, I made a summary of the living methods of the world's elderly on the Internet, which is very reasonable: Japanese 70-year-olds continue to earn money and win glory for their enterprises; 70-year-old Americans run for the presidency, winning glory for the country; The 70-year-old man in Germany is the boss of the company, winning glory for his family; A 70-year-old man in France is preparing for a wedding to marry his wife and fight for love; 70-year-old people in China are waiting in line for medical treatment to survive. Although this statement may not be completely accurate, it can explain a country's understanding of the concept of survival of the elderly.

After retirement, most old people in China always have an understanding that it is time to have a rest after working all their lives in revolutionary work and fighting for their children. With this concept, hedonism appeared, so there are old people everywhere in Hainan, Yunnan and Guangxi. In the square, in the park, next to the community, the old people are dancing everywhere. Undeniably, traveling, keeping in good health and dancing for the elderly are the embodiment of the improvement of living conditions and the need of spiritual life. They exercise to prolong life, not to drag down children, but to make up their own hearts. But in the final analysis, the lifestyle of the elderly in China is suitable for the national conditions of China. As long as the old people are happy, dancing a square dance is a very good hobby. Of course, there are many elderly people in China who, after retirement, try their best to exert their residual heat and do some work within their power to win glory for the country and increase their families' income.

Old people in Europe and America basically don't dance square dance, and Chinese aunts have been fired for dancing square dance in Europe and America. They don't dance square dance except for different customs. They don't care about the following reasons: First, the elderly in Europe and America are better physically than the elderly in Asia because of their eating habits and genetic inheritance. Therefore, their bodies have the ability to continue working. It is normal to see old people in their sixties and seventies working in Europe and America; Second, the consumption habits of Europeans and Americans are different from those of China. People in China have the habit of saving money for the aged. Most elderly people have an old foundation for a rainy day after retirement, while Europeans and Americans spend money, spend money and earn money without money. After their old people retired, there was not enough money for them to spend. In order to make up for their needs, they have to work to make money. Third, the elderly in Europe and America basically don't care if their children want money after retirement. In order to survive, they have to work to make money. In China, old people take care of their children when they have no money. Therefore, there are not a few people in Europe and America who go to work after retirement.

In addition, after retirement, the elderly in Europe and America spend most of their remaining time. First, they travel. For the elderly with good national welfare and rich pensions, their main job after retirement is to travel around the world. The second is to develop their own specialties and hobbies. After retirement, many old people have made many inventions with their own specialties and made immortal contributions to mankind. The third is to do public welfare undertakings. They spontaneously organize themselves to do what they can for their hometown and their city, such as cleaning the streets, adopting stray animals, performing arts on the streets, looking for things and so on.

Therefore, different countries have different ways of providing for the aged, and learning from each other's strengths is the best policy.

According to my communication with several foreigners, there are three reasons.

First of all, Europeans and Americans cultivate independent personalities from an early age. Except for team sports, such as basketball and volleyball, few people get together in public places to play a sport.

Secondly, from an aesthetic point of view, they are puzzled by the form of square dance, which is both vulgar and aesthetically weird.

Finally, the understanding of public places is different, whether it is performance or entertainment, it will not be held in public places.

We old people mainly organize square dances. The elderly actively participate in it, helping their children to do housework during the day, relaxing at night, listening to music and dancing are the most economical and advanced spiritual enjoyment, and they can also contact their neighbors. Now many old people in Europe and America like to dance square dance. People can't always sit reading, go to coffee shops for coffee or tea, let alone travel, and enrich themselves according to their own interests and national conditions.

Different cultures! It takes a long time for foreign old people to drink coffee in the morning. Reading, gardening, walking the dog and meeting friends in bars are also colorful!

Europe and America retire at the age of 67 regardless of gender! Plus a fat head, a thick waist and a big ass! How to jump? Happy old man in China! When enterprises were restructured in the late 1990s, many elderly people, 48-year-old women and 55-year-old men could apply for medical retirement. That's my husband and wife! After retirement, you can find a second job and take your grandson to do housework! You can go to the university for the aged again. I used to take dancing and singing lessons! Outsiders are sparsely populated and scattered, and they like to drive around, which is more fun!
