A 77-year-old man went on a blind date with a 75-year-old woman, and the woman said that she was financially independent and did not want the man's money
77-year-old Uncle Zhang, who has loved calligraphy since childhood, is well-known in the local calligraphy circle for his excellent calligraphy skills and is known as a local calligraphy master.
In the 2017 National Elderly Book Exhibition, Uncle Zhang won the first place, and more than 100 works were officially collected and published.
Uncle Zhang's handwriting is both neat and beautiful, and rich in level. He not only writes well-behaved, but also acts extremely cautiously. Even when teaching female students, she is meticulous in her pen grip. He even put paper on the hands of female classmates and patiently taught how to practice calligraphy.
He insisted that it was not wise to be close to someone, not only to benefit one's reputation, but also to ensure the safety of others. Throughout his life, he has adhered to the principles of writing and doing things in a proper manner, and has made words as if they were his person.
It is precisely because of Uncle Zhang's incorruptible style that he has a high reputation in the local calligraphy circle, and people affectionately call him "Zhang Lao" and are full of respect for him.
However, despite Uncle Zhang's successful career in his life, his marriage was full of unhappiness. In 2009, his wife passed away in a car accident, which brought him deep pain. It was a full 5 years before he welcomed his second wife in 2014.
However, only 8 years after this marriage, the second wife fell ill and the two were forced to separate.
When the matchmaker asked Uncle Zhang about his mate selection criteria, he said that the other party needed to have a cultural temperament and noble character, and he was looking for a partner in life.
After learning about Uncle Zhang's situation, the matchmaker thought of Aunt Liu, who lived in the same city.
Aunt Liu, 75 years old, is different in that she not only dresses fashionably, but also takes care of her nails and wears false eyelashes. She likes to make friends with young people and is not used to sitting in the sun with old ladies of the same age, chatting and playing cards. She is convinced that although she is getting older, she is still young. She doesn't like fancy clothes and prefers to dress up fashionably.
More than 10 years ago, her wife passed away due to a serious illness, leaving Aunt Liu to live a lonely life alone.
She told the matchmaker that she hoped to find a partner with high quality and a cultured person. She thinks that educated people have a good level of speech and behavior, while uneducated people indulge in smoking, drinking and playing mahjong, which is unacceptable to her.
Another admirable thing is that Aunt Liu is also extraordinary and different financially. She emphasized that she was financially independent and did not need the other party to bear financial responsibility, and mentioned that she ** some blind date programs, and saw some old ladies propose how much money to use for the elderly, and these have nothing to do with her.
After understanding Aunt Liu's mate selection criteria, the matchmaker thought that Uncle Zhang was a very suitable choice, so she successfully facilitated the meeting between the two.
The two made a good impression of each other when they first met. Although Aunt Liu thinks that Uncle Zhang looks a little old, she also said that she is already at this age, and she no longer asks too much for her appearance, as long as the other party is kind.
Uncle Zhang thinks that Aunt Liu is very good, he does not judge people by their appearance, but pays more attention to people's quality and cultivation, and thinks that Aunt Liu is tall and in good physical condition.
Subsequently, Uncle Zhang showed his calligraphy works. Aunt Liu was amazed when she saw Uncle Zhang's beautiful font. In fact, Aunt Liu herself has a strong interest in calligraphy, and even plans to sign up for a calligraphy course at the University for the Elderly.
After seeing Uncle Zhang's calligraphy works, Aunt Liu felt that she might not need to go to the University for the Elderly to sign up, because there was already a ready-made calligraphy master in front of her.
Uncle Zhang, on the other hand, was pleased with Aunt Liu's decision to learn calligraphy. He secretly happily told the matchmaker that if he found a partner who sang and danced outside all day, it might bother him. Aunt Liu and him are very compatible in terms of taste and interests, which makes him feel very satisfied.
Subsequently, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Liu sat down to share their life experiences. Uncle Zhang told the story of 13 years ago with tears in his eyes, when his first wife died in a car accident at the age of 62. 5 years later, he found a second partner and lived together for 8 years, but was brought home by his daughter due to illness. Although Uncle Zhang kept calling to ask the other party to come back, he was rejected by his daughter, and finally had to break up completely.
After listening to Uncle Zhang's experience, Aunt Liu told the matchmaker that Uncle Zhang's emotional intelligence is very high. When talking about his first wife, he had tears in his eyes, giving people the impression that he was a person of affection and righteousness. When talking about the illness of the second partner, Aunt Liu said that usually in the case of living together, it is common to be abandoned if the other half is sick, but Uncle Zhang keeps beating ** and wants the other party to come back.
Therefore, she thinks that Uncle Zhang is a kind-hearted, honest and true person, which is exactly what she likes.
Uncle Zhang learned that Aunt Liu not only didn't care about his two relationships, but also appreciated them very much. He sincerely said that Aunt Liu made him deeply admired, such an open-minded and frank woman is really a rare thing and worthy of praise. Aunt Liu also showed her cheerful and straightforward side, and frankly admitted that she no longer pursues appearance at her age, as long as the three views are the same, it is enough. She thinks that both of them are old and don't need to be pretentious.
Subsequently, the matchmaker carefully arranged for Uncle Zhang to go to Aunt Liu's house as a guest the next day. The group came to Aunt Liu's house and found that she had already prepared a hearty meal. When Uncle Zhang handed over a special gift with "I wish people a long time, thousands of miles together", Aunt Liu was overjoyed.
At the dinner table, the matchmaker sent good wishes to the old man, hoping that they could go further and live a better life hand in hand, announcing the success of this blind date.
I can't help but sigh that two elderly people in their seventies can find each other in their old age, share the same interests, and care for each other, and this kind of life will be happy.
In contrast, some elderly blind dates, some people always pursue material things excessively, and even ask for living expenses, jewelry, etc., while others tend to adhere to the AA system, and the other party is unwilling to bear the responsibility of supporting the other party if he does not pay a penny.
Such uneven blind date quality makes people feel embarrassed. However, the two old men in the article show noble qualities and have profound cultural heritage and cultivation. Their encounter was a match made in heaven.
May the elderly couple be happy and healthy in the years to come and enjoy the good times of their old age together.
