The perseverance and love of the elderly: Uncle Yang walked along Qilianshan Road with a photo frame on his back Recently, in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, a striking incident occurred. A 98-year-old man named Uncle Yang, who had entered his old age, walked backwards into the Qilian Mountain Road Tunnel. Fortunately, the police found him in time and escorted him to a safe section. After inquiry, it turned out that Uncle Yang walked alone for nearly 12 hours and traveled more than 20 kilometers. What is even more touching is that the police also found that the old man was carrying a photo frame.
It is understood that this photo frame is a photo of the mother of Uncle Yang's child. And the child's mother unfortunately passed away during the Chinese New Year. The whole family was plunged into great grief as a result. However, Uncle Yang chose a special way to commemorate this marriage, and he went out for a walk almost every day with a photo of his lover. Sometimes, he even walked all day.
Uncle Yang's actions have attracted the attention and admiration of Xu people, especially in a modern society where family relations are becoming weaker. His persistence not only shows his endless longing for his deceased wife, but also shows his belief and cherishment in marriage. His story has also given strength and inspiration to many.
Uncle Yang's behavior hides a deeper emotional appeal. Some family members explained that Uncle Yang suffered from mild Alzheimer's disease, a neurodegenerative disease common in the elderly, which caused his ability to perceive reality gradually weakened. Despite this, Uncle Yang was still able to remember and cherish his wife's photos, which undoubtedly became his spiritual pillar emotionally.
As the population ages, so does the number of elderly people, including Alzheimer's disease. The cognitive impairment and behavioural abnormalities associated with this condition often cause distress to families and society. However, Uncle Yang's example shows us that the importance of love and fond memories for the elderly cannot be ignored. In addition to medical care, we need family companionship and emotional nourishment.
Mr. Yang's behavior has also triggered people's thinking about road safety. He walked alone in the cold winter wind, crossing the busy Qilian Mountain Road, which was undoubtedly a dangerous act. Fortunately, the police found it in time and dealt with it properly, avoiding the tragedy. This also reminds us that society needs to pay more attention to the safety of the elderly, especially those who have lost their cognitive ability, and need social care and protection.
Uncle Yang's story has attracted great attention on the Internet, and many netizens have expressed their admiration and discussion. Some people called for greater love and care for the elderly, and some shared their feelings of missing their deceased wives or husbands. All this speaks to the importance of love and family in people's hearts, both during the journey of life and at the end of life.
In a fast-paced and stressful modern society, it's often overlooked what really matters around us. However, Uncle Yang's persistence and love have brought us infinite thinking and inspiration. His story reminds us that we should treat our loved ones with gratitude and cherishment, and bring them more warmth and companionship.
In this winter, let us learn Uncle Yang's perseverance and love together, and pass on sincerity and love to the people around us. Whether it is in the face of difficulties or the passage of time, love is the most beautiful motivation in our lives, and it is also the treasure that is most worthy of our protection and cherishment. Let's work together to create a society full of warmth and humanity, and praise everyone who sticks to love like Uncle Yang!
