In the past 50 years, we have hurried through half of our lives, and we look back full of vicissitudes and exhaustion. The twists and turns and bumps in life have become memories in our hearts. At the end of this middle age, we are old and young, and despite the rough road of life, we still continue to move forward without hesitation.
Many of the post-70s parents were born in the forties and fifties of the last century, and most of them spent their lives in the countryside, and their expectations were simple and real - to be able to eat and clothe themselves. However, this does not mean that they will be able to enjoy their old age, as the vast majority are still reluctant to retire and are counting on the support of their children. For this generation, building a house is a huge expense, and this is only the basic security of life. With the passage of time, parents gradually entered the old age of seventy or eighty, and faced with illness and separation, which became an inevitable reality.
In order to give their children a better future, many post-70s generations choose to go to the city, consuming a large part of their savings. Professor Dong Fan once said: "Entering a big city creates a good environment for the development of the next generation. "Although there may not have been initial plans to buy a home in the city, many people end up gritting their teeth and buying a home for the sake of their children. This is not an easy task, as many people are still in debt at the age of 50.
When we were children, we were full of lofty ideals, wanting to be scientists, mathematicians, and astronauts. However, the realities of life have saddled us with family responsibilities early on. For our parents, they only know how to encourage us to read, but they can't provide specific guidance on what to do when we leave the countryside. The ideal is drifting away, and we are very fortunate to be able to start a family, but there are always some regrets in our hearts about the once ideal.
As the years went by, we became grandparents and felt much older. Although it was a little uncomfortable to hear others call us grandparents at first, over time we gradually Xi the name. At the age of fifty, we are no longer young, but deep down, we still miss those youthful days when we were full of energy and thick hair.
I once wanted to spend my old age in the countryside of my hometown, but I found that the reality was not so. Even if you work hard to make money, after the death of your parents, the new house in your hometown is just a deserted house, which makes people feel helpless. Back in the countryside, we found ourselves already accustomed to the convenience of life in the city, where the transportation, medical care and atmosphere were all inconvenient.
A few decades ago, going out on a tractor was a luxury for us, but now it has become a reality to travel by car and have a deposit of 10,000 yuan. However, for us who were, this standard of living is not something to be proud of. At the same time as the development of society, we gradually had our own small cars and even used smartphones, but this did not make us satisfied with the status quo.
Fifty years old, for us, is the beginning of the second half, not the end of life. In the years to come, we need to recognize the current situation of the family, plan for the second half of our lives, leave some savings and pensions, and avoid having to work around when we are old. When children become adults, appropriately reduce the discipline on them and let them become independent as soon as possible. It is incumbent upon us to support our parents, and we should not feel sorry for ourselves even if we face a certain burden. If we can't go back to our hometown, we must also cherish everything in a foreign land, because the loess of the first place does not support people, and the moon in a foreign land is equally complete.
At the age of fifty, we may have come a long way, but we can live more peacefully for the rest of our lives by leaving a way out in time. This is a kind of responsibility for oneself, and it is also an explanation of the long years in the past.
In the past 50 years, we post-70s generations have gone through a tortuous and extraordinary life journey. From childhood dreams to today's reality, we have witnessed the great changes in Chinese society and experienced first-hand the responsibility of family. Fifty years old, for us, is not only a look back at the past, but also an expectation for the future.
At this stage, we should cherish everything in front of us more and be grateful for the struggle and persistence. Whether it is for the support of our parents, for the future of our children, or for our own lives, we are silently paying and bravely facing the ups and downs of life. Fifty years old is not the end of life, but a new beginning, a more mature and deep beginning.
In the days to come, let us be more tolerant of our families, trust our children more, and at the same time be more relieved of ourselves. Retirement is not the end, but the beginning of a new life, leaving some savings and living a comfortable and comfortable old age. In the company of family, friends and loved ones, we need to be more tolerant and open-minded to embrace the unknown future.
In the life of fifty years old, there may have been passionate youth, or there may have been vicissitudes of life, but it is more about perseverance in life and confidence in the future. Let's continue to take every step and continue to write our own chapter of life. Because in the long river of years, each of us born in the 70s is a unique existence, and our life is not only 50 years old, but the future is infinite.
