Today, with the gradual extension of human life expectancy, more and more people in their eighties and nineties are increasing, and people's average life expectancy is gradually increasing. As a result, for those over 50, many believe that their lives are still in the middle of the field and feel that the future is still long.
But today, I want to share with you a different point of view: for people over 50 years old, although they seem to be healthy, there is actually not much "coming to Japan".
Why do you think so? Because for people over half a hundred years old, the line between illness and health may be just overnight.
You may wonder why I have this opinion. So, allow me to tell you about the experience of two healthy friends around me, who are over 50 years old, but they were plagued by illness overnight.
The story of 52-year-old Aunt Shaw
She is my friend's mother, a woman who is healthy and energetic all year round. Only occasionally, she would complain of dizziness, but it got better after a short rest, so she didn't worry too much about it.
The day before she died, the people of the village saw her smiling so brightly. She shared her son's new house and her daughter-in-law, who treated her like a daughter, and they were planning to take her to live with her in the city.
Everyone applauded her happiness, as if the ups and downs she had gone through were now going to usher in a sunny day. Because, when she was only in her thirties, her husband died of illness, leaving her and her three children.
At that time, life gave her too many trials. The people around her persuaded her to remarry, find a shoulder to rely on, and someone to share the burden of the family. But she was worried that her children would be bullied, so she decided to support the family alone. With her own hands, she moved bricks and built houses on construction sites, working hard to send her three children to college.
Now that the children have grown up and started businesses, she should have enjoyed her old age at its best. However, fate suddenly struck and did not give her any more time. Life is really unpredictable, cherish the present, there is no longer a long way to come to Japan.
The story of 50-year-old Aunt Chen
Aunt Chen is an elder in my hometown, and her body has always been tough, and even ordinary small colds are rare. His family is wealthy, and his children are highly educated college students.
People around often sigh that Aunt Zhang and her wife seem to be born with hard work. It is clear that the conditions at home are superior, but the two old men get up early every day and go to the night market to sell clothes.
But every time asked about this, Aunt Zhang always smiled and said that as long as her daughter-in-law had a baby, she would close the stall and wholeheartedly help her son and daughter-in-law bring her grandson. She and her wife also plan that when their grandson goes to kindergarten, they will return to their hometown and enjoy the idyllic life, grow some vegetables, raise some flowers, and live a peaceful old age.
But fate is often unexpected. Just yesterday, Aunt Zhang suddenly felt dizzy. Although she didn't want to worry too much, her son and daughter-in-law insisted on taking her to the hospital for examination.
When the examination report was spread out in front of her, she realized that there was a problem with her kidneys in her body, which had been healthy. The doctor said that the condition was serious and he needed to go to the hospital for dialysis once a week. Despite this, the doctor admitted that this only temporarily delayed her life.
Fate is always unexpected.
In fact, there are many more examples around me like Aunt Xiao and Aunt Chen. They are all healthy people in their fifties, but they were overturned by the impermanence of life overnight.
Therefore, if you are over half a hundred years old, do not ignore the preciousness of life because of short-term health, and do not think that "coming to Japan is long" because of your good health. Because life is really unpredictable.
