Four sisters I know, of similar age, rented an apartment with their partner in Hainan and shared the living expenses equally. They work in pairs and take turns cooking and cleaning. The food is not heavy and the room is clean and tidy. Have a rest after lunch, go out for a walk together in the afternoon, and then come back to do what you like; After dinner, watching TV, they live under one roof and care about each other. They no longer feel lonely, but happier and more fulfilling than at home.
There is also a mode of "holding a group" between relatives: whoever has a big place will live and take turns cooking and doing housework. They not only found happiness, but also exercised; Eating comprehensively is much better than eating alone at home.
We all have an old day. "Holding a group" not only reduces the burden on children, but also solves the big problems in life, which is worth promoting. In short, how happy it is to find the right person to "hold a group" together, so that you won't feel lonely, you can eat nutritious meals, you can exercise together, and you can increase your confidence in life!
Chang: Like-minded is the key.
In fact, the elderly who suddenly become idle after retirement have a growing demand for "companionship". Under the general trend of social aging, various pension models are dizzying. The model of "holding a group to support the elderly" can really solve the needs of the elderly for "companionship".
In my opinion, apart from complementary personalities, similar educational levels and similar family conditions, it depends on whether you are like-minded, which is the key to determining the success of "holding a group to support the elderly". I have a few friends who paint, and they are the model of "holding a group to support the elderly". They belong to the same school in painting, and they can talk about their hobbies best, which can be described as like-minded. Wherever they go, they can find the beauty of the world. They went to Hainan to paint together, the waves beat on the beach, the easel and colored pens reflected smiling faces, and they felt the beauty of life together.
Of course, there are also unsuccessful cases. On a trip, I met a "pension tour group". Among them, some like playing mahjong, some like drinking, some like playing chess and making noise. Before they reached their destination, people had almost dispersed. What kind of "supporting the elderly" is this? This is obviously a farce.
Since it is "holding a group to support the elderly", it is impossible to be independent, and there must be relative freedom and certain order. Only when everyone shares the same interests can we live a warm and peaceful life.
Zhou Hui: Suitable for short-term play.
Many people in our country spontaneously organized "holding a group to support the elderly". At first, the participants were very happy, but not long after, many "groups" exposed some contradictions and finally broke up. The reasons for breaking up are different, mainly because there are many uncertainties in the process of "holding a group".
Some are because it is difficult to share the expenses reasonably, and the division of daily work such as purchasing, cooking and cleaning is also difficult to satisfy everyone; Some are because of different living habits and hobbies, and the food tastes different, which affects mutual unity; Others need medical treatment because someone is ill.
I don't think "holding a group to support the elderly" will last long, but it can be played in the short term and cannot be used as a long-term way to support the elderly. Because its foundation is that everyone can take care of themselves, but with the growth of age, no one can guarantee that they will not get sick, so breaking up is inevitable.
Su: "Holding a group to support the elderly" has a long way to go.
As a supplement to institutional pension, home pension and community pension, "holding a group to support the elderly" has attracted many people's attention.
One of my classmates, after leaving the army a few years ago, took his wife to Yunnan for the winter and rented a single farmhouse according to the contract. The landlord provided food and accommodation, and the old couple were very satisfied. After coming back the following spring, many old colleagues went to consult. He said, "It is a good place for leisure, with warm winter and cool summer, fresh air, beautiful scenery and simple folk customs." His words aroused great interest among his colleagues. This autumn, they organized an AA group of six people to live in Yunnan. The following spring, my classmate came to my home. I thought he would tell me about a beautiful life. Unexpectedly, he told me about ups and downs. It turned out that although they made careful preparations, they still bred many problems and contradictions, and finally almost broke up.
From this, I think the road to "providing for the aged" is long and needs to be explored step by step.
In a word, we should explore a new mode of providing for the aged, and change the traditional "passive" mode into "active" mode, so as to make our old age life more substantial, secure and sustainable. Looking forward to more innovations in the pension model.
