Cheerful and optimistic
Active living
(Yu Zeqin, father-in-law, husband and her children)
In 1920, Grandma Yu Zeqin was born in a rich peasant family in Fushun County, Zigong, and was the second miss of the family. At that time, Miss Second's family had people responsible for cooking, grooming, and miscellaneous work, which could be described as a home of fine clothes and jade food.
At the age of 4, she wrapped her feet for a while, and although she was later lifted, her feet were still deformed. At that time, it was not easy for the girl to go to school, but she still went to junior high school (did not graduate), and later through the introduction, she met Grandpa Cai, who came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine, and the two fell in love at first sight and made a marriage contract.

After marrying into the Cai family, Grandma Yu Zeqin did not go out at home like most women at that time, and taught her children, but followed her father-in-law to learn Chinese medicine, and after leaving school, she did Chinese medicine in the Lantern Street Hospital at that time, and was good at treating facial paralysis and hemiplegia through acupuncture and moxibustion.
"Dr. Yu of Guihua Lane" was quite famous at that time, until Yu Zeqin's grandmother retired in her 60s, there were still many patients who came to her door to see, she was a free clinic, no penny.
Grandpa Cai left in his 60s because of lung failure, and when he thought about him, Grandma Yu Zeqin would read: "This old man is 5 years younger than me, and he hasn't lived to win me." After that, she took turns living in her children's house like a sojourner.
Cai Yun, a granddaughter who grew up with her grandmother, would come to her grandmother's house from the city every week to play with her for two days, take her to eat delicious food, and accompany her to set up a dragon gate array.
Sometimes, granddaughter Cai Yun will also take her to drive a car, practice yoga, cook and other fresh trials of the experience, many people envy Yu Zeqin's grandmother's optimism, dare to try, full of curiosity, have expressed "I hope I can do this when I am old." ”

Stay curious
Lohas mentality
Everyone will age, at some point in time, the elderly will suddenly look like a child, memory will decline, the way of thinking about problems will become simple, and many elderly people will slowly appear a sense of fatigue, lose interest in changes in the external world, and only focus on the surroundings.
But this feeling of fatigue did not appear in Yu Zeqin's grandmother, she likes to read newspapers, her favorite TV channel is CCTV international channel, when broadcasting current affairs news, she can sit motionless in front of the TV and watch for half a day.
In terms of diet, Grandma Yu Zeqin does not have so many old age taboos, she has always loved it most: hot pot skewers, shabu-shabu, love to eat spicy, but also like to drink Coke.
Grandma Yu Zeqin is in good health, never eats skin care products, she likes to sing and loves to travel. When you see something fresh and unseen, you always want to try it, taste it, keep your curiosity, and at the same time dress yourself up very bright and fashionable, exuding a young and fashionable temperament from the inside out.
Grandma Yu Zeqin, who has a positive and optimistic attitude, will not give pressure or worry about the affairs of the younger generations, and Yu Zeqin rarely asks about the small fragments in life.
But she occasionally told her grandchildren to eat well, "Life is one meal after another."
She told her granddaughter who married late: "Girls should go out and see the world more before falling in love, and if they can't find someone to marry, they can live by themselves, and they can live with their parents." ”

Life in all its forms
Taste of the world
Last year, at the 100th birthday party of Yu Zeqin's grandmother, at least twenty people went, including her old neighbors she had not seen for many years, colleagues who had worked together, and relatives who had long settled in distant places.
After that birthday party, Grandma Yu Zeqin used her fingers to compare a "1" posture to show off that she had lived to 100 years old, and people around her always gave her a thumbs up and praised her, which was also a proof that she had spent 100 years in the world enthusiastically, seriously and diligently.
When she was in her 90s, Grandma Yu Zeqin saw that someone lived to be 120 years old, and she would tell her children and grandchildren, "People live 120, I will definitely live 120." After a while, she muttered again, "I heard that there was an old man on an island who lived to 190." ”
In the book "Taste of the World", Yu Zeqin's grandmother is said to be "still full of passion, curiosity, innocence and hard work at the age of 100." Such a personality affected her children and even grandchildren.
"We all seem to think that it is good to have enough money, the so-called value is to see how much you need, in our opinion, nothing is more important than living a life you like and spending time with your family." 」
"The life of an elderly person will become less exciting, and if you can occasionally give her some wonderful moments, it will make her remember it for a long time."

JunFanghua Elderly Community
Bloom life
(Community Scene)
Many old communities are gathered with elderly people who do not want to leave, all they see and remember, all their thoughts are in the past, even if the place where they have lived for a lifetime is very old, they do not want to leave, because those old friends and old neighbors who are close in age and have common topics also live here. But as I get older, there are fewer and fewer friends who play cards and chess together, drink tea, and talk.
How can we make the elderly live a full life and feel the happiness of having someone with them for a long time?
The Junfanghua Elderly Community is equipped with a heart-level clubhouse to give you a living space for the elderly with temperature and emotion. Here, the elderly take the initiative to participate in activities and actively integrate into society, so that the retirement time will be rejuvenated, and the elderly will always maintain the evergreen spiritual world.
At any time, everyone needs to do something fun with like-minded friends and feel the rich joy of the world, and the Junfanghua Elderly Community enriches the interests of the elderly by forming different interest groups and expands the scope of social activities for the elderly.

(Chess and card room real view)
Of course, you can also play chess and cards with three or five friends in the chess and card room; choose your favorite songs in the karaoke room to show your voice; and show your friends in the happy kitchen.
Every elder can find the activities that interest him, can find the leisure and entertainment that suits him, can regain the hobbies of his youth, enrich his spare time, happily make new friends, expand his social circle, and bloom his life.
Grandma Yu Zeqin told us that every day is a new experience and a new life, and only by experiencing more and feeling the novelty and beauty of the world will we have love and yearning for life.
Getting older, not from age, gray hair and wrinkles, but from the moment you give up yourself and lose your love for life, age is not a problem, I believe that as long as you are passionate about life, every day is the youngest moment.
