Who is in charge of the empty nest elderly? Takeaway man delivering food found the old man passed away, tearful and blaming himself, what happened?

A takeaway boy in Guangdong delivered food to a designated place and knocked on the door but no one answered. Neighbors heard and rushed to the scene, and found that the old man living alone had fainted in the bathroom, the boy reported to the police, and guided the ambulance, but it does not help, the old man has passed away. Xiao instantly broke down in tears and blamed himself, "If I could have come earlier, wouldn't this have happened?"

He said he was reminded of his own parents at that moment and called on society to care more for the elderly empty nesters, although work is important, but parents are more important.

It is understood that the takeaway is the old man's family to him to order, because live too far away, call has not been answered, they want to go through the delivery boy to see if the old man is okay.

The only two things that are absolutely unavoidable in a person's life are birth and death, whether it is a poor person with a small family or a rich businessman.

Data from the sixth population census shows that nationwide, 32.64 percent of households are empty-nesters, with 30.77 percent in rural areas. By 2030, with China's aging population approaching 300 million, the proportion of empty-nester households may reach 90 percent, which means more than 200 million elderly people will be living alone by then.

The old saying goes: "Parents are not far away", but nowadays urbanization is accelerating, and development opportunities in rural areas and small cities are very limited, forcing the labor force to concentrate in the big cities, if you do not have the ability to establish a firm foothold in the big cities, will bring their parents to the side of the words, you can only be ruthless to let their parents alone to guard the "empty nest".

Even if you have the ability to bring your parents around, they may not be used to life in the big city, and they may not be as happy as they were in their hometowns when they were chatting with each other and their neighbors.

The human body is a sophisticated instrument, and as we age, it will continue to suffer from a number of minor problems. Diabetes, frozen shoulder, arthritis, etc. are particularly easy to find the elderly, seriously affecting their quality of life. When children are not at home, the pain caused by these diseases to the elderly will be doubled, they often have no choice but to suffer in silence.

In addition to physical distress, the mental health of the empty-nested elderly is also not optimistic. They live in boundless loneliness and isolation, and once in a while when someone talks to them, they feel that they have grasped the straw that saves their lives and trust each other especially. But there are some people who are uneasy and take advantage of this psychological deception of the elderly, the proportion of elderly victims in the cases of overpriced health care products and telecommunication fraud is not low.

The movie "Empty Nest" tells such a story. Zhao Yimei, who is over 80 years old, is a retired teacher, and her son, who has settled in Beijing and has money and a career, is seriously absent from his mother's later life. Ms. Zhao's old age is lifeless and she can only wait for death in solitude.

The appearance of salesman Xiao Lei changed her life. Xiao Lei called her "Grandma" and treated her better than her own son, chatting with her and helping her with household chores. Gradually, Ms. Zhao removed her defenses and began to trust Xiao Lei, inviting him to stay for dinner and buying a lot of health care products in order to take care of Xiao Lei's work. The company's pension is not low, simply buy some health care products and will not give her much pressure, but the small Lei owes a debt, in order to pay off the debt to give up their conscience, collusion with others, cheated Zhao more than 50 million of the teacher's savings.

In such a case, accusing the elderly of not having the ability to discern is a very cold-blooded behavior, people reach a certain age, the behavioral pattern and thinking mode will tend to children, "return to childhood" is not an empty word. Besides, the elderly just want someone to keep them company, there is nothing wrong with the starting point.

The emergence of the empty-nested elderly is, on the surface, due to the lack of affection, but in essence, it is an inevitable product of the imbalance between urban and rural areas and geographical development. So if you want to improve the living conditions of the elderly, you need to work on many fronts. On the one hand, we need to strengthen publicity and education, so that young people also inherit the traditional culture of filial piety, and give the elderly more companionship and care.

On the other hand, the state and relevant departments need to take into account the need to establish a more comprehensive pension system, not only to take care of the elderly's physical, but also to take care of their spirit. Need to revitalize the countryside and small cities, narrowing the gap between regions and regions, cities and cities, if the young people can stay in their hometowns have good development opportunities, who would be willing to leave their homes to work? The problem of empty nesters will naturally be solved.
