Li Ming is 60 years old this year, although his body is still quite strong, but he feels a little at a loss about his life after retirement in the past few years. I used to be busy with work and have clear goals and tasks every day, but now I have a lot of free time and don't know how to arrange it.
One day, Li Ming turned on the TV and inadvertently saw a program about old age. The elderly people in the program are either learning new skills, or actively participating in social welfare, and living a fulfilling and meaningful life. Looking at their sunny smiles, Li Ming felt a long-lost envy and yearning in his heart.
"Am I going to live the rest of my life like this? I have nothing to do every day, and I am bored?" Li Ming couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, his wife Li Ting walked in with a cup of hot tea, "What are you thinking? ”
"It's nothing, it's just thinking about how to arrange life after retirement. Li Ming said with a wry smile.
"You see how much life those old people have, we should also plan well. Is there anything new you'd like to learn lately, or something you'd like to try?" asked Li Ting with concern.
Li Ming pondered for a moment, "I've always wanted to learn gardening, I can grow flowers and plants at home, and maybe some vegetables. ”
"That's great! We'll go to the florist tomorrow and buy some flowers and plants for planting." Li Ting's eyes lit up and she said excitedly.
"Okay, that's it. Li Ming felt a lot more relaxed, and showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Back at home, Li Ming and Li Ting began to seriously study how to plant and care for these flowers and plants. The two help each other, cooperate tacitly, and are busy. When they were done, they placed the flowers and plants on the balconies and courtyards with great anticipation, hoping that they would thrive.
In the days that followed, Li Ming would find time every day to carefully take care of the flowers and plants he planted. He observes their growth and waters them at the right time. Looking at those tender green leaves and bright flowers, Li Ming felt calm and content.
One afternoon, Li Ting came back from the supermarket and said to Li Ming with great interest: "Husband, I saw an advertisement for a cooking class in the supermarket, and I just want to learn to cook some new dishes recently, do you want to go to class together?"
"Well, I've always wanted to learn something new. When are we going to sign up?" Li Ming readily agreed.
So, Li Ming and Li Ting began their culinary learning journey. Every week, they make time to go to class and learn how to prepare various dishes from the teacher. In class, they are attentive and interactive, trying out a variety of new cooking skills. After class, the two of them will go home to continue practicing and try to make more delicious dishes.
Gradually, Li Ming found that he was more and more interested in learning new things, and his spirit became more and more full. He no longer feels that life after retirement is boring and boring as before, but feels that life is full of infinite possibilities.
"Maybe I can do some public welfare activities and contribute to the community. Li Ming thought.
So, he came to the community service center and signed up as a volunteer. At first, he was assigned to do simple tasks such as helping to look after the elderly in the community or participating in clean-up activities. Although the work was not easy, Li Mingdu completed the task conscientiously and gained satisfaction from it.
Gradually, the scope of Li Ming's work gradually expanded. He was assigned to the community library to help with management and took the initiative to set up a calligraphy class to teach the elderly who were interested in this traditional skill. In addition, he is involved in organizing cultural events in the community, making the most of his creativity and talents.
During this time, Li Ming's life has been rich and colorful, and time has flown by. From growing flowers and plants, to learning to cook, to devoting himself to public welfare, he found that his life became more fulfilling and meaningful. Every day, when he comes home, he looks at the lush flowers on the balcony and smells the enticing smell wafting from the kitchen, and he feels a warm feeling in his heart.
One day, Li Ming was helping to organize books in the library when he suddenly heard a childish voice behind him.
"Uncle, what are you doing?" asked a little boy about five years old curiously.
"I'm helping to organize the books. Are you also reading books?" replied Li Ming with a smile.
"Well, I like to read books the most. Can you teach me?" the little boy looked at Li Ming with sparkling eyes.
"Okay, let's sort out the books together. You see, these books are arranged in different categories, and we have to put them all in order. Li Ming patiently explained.
The little boy nodded earnestly and sorted out the books with Li Ming in an orderly manner. During this period, the little boy asked some questions from time to time, and Li Ming patiently answered them one by one. Looking at the little boy's focused expression, Li Ming couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for him.
When the last book was arranged, the little boy said cheerfully, "Uncle, you have taught me so well! ”
"That's great! You're really smart. If you come to the library again in the future, be sure to come to me. Li Ming petted the little boy's head dotingly.
"Okay! I'll come often. By the way, uncle, why do you work here?" asked the little boy curiously.
"Because I like to read and I love to play with my children. So I volunteered to help with library management. Li Ming replied sincerely.
"Wow, that's great! You're such a nice person. I will be like you in the future, and be a kind person. The little boy said heartily.
Hearing the little boy's words, Li Ming felt extremely warm in his heart. He reached out and gently hugged the little boy and said to him, "Little friend, you are quite right. We should all strive to be a kind and upright person and contribute to the world. ”
At this moment, the little boy's mother hurriedly walked over, "Amin, you have finally found you! ”
"Oh, so your name is Amin. Then I'll call you Amin from now on! Goodbye, uncle, I'll come to see you often. The little boy waved goodbye excitedly.
Seeing Ah Ming obediently follow his mother away, Li Ming felt extremely relieved in his heart. Perhaps his life was no longer monotonous, but full of warmth and hope, he thought.
Back at home, Li Ming shared with Li Ting what happened in the library today. Li Ting was also very happy after hearing this, and she encouraged Li Ming to continue to participate in public welfare activities and pass on her love to more people in need.
"You see, since we started learning new things, life has become more colorful. We should continue to maintain this positive and optimistic attitude and enjoy the good times after retirement. Li Ting said with a smile.
"yes, my life has really become more meaningful during this time. Instead of being idle, it's full of fun and challenges. I am very fortunate to have met Ah Ming, who made me even more determined to contribute to the community. Li Ming said sincerely.
At this moment, there was a loud noise from the balcony, and it turned out that a few pots of flowers and plants they had planted had actually bloomed. Li Ming and Li Ting excitedly walked to the balcony to carefully admire the delicate flowers.
"Look, our hard work is finally paying off. These flowers are so beautiful and make people feel good. Li Ting admired from the bottom of her heart.
"Yes, planting flowers really makes you feel good. We can plant more flowers and plants in the future to make this home full of life. Li Ming said with great interest.
In the following days, Li Ming and Li Ting maintained a positive and optimistic life as always. They are constantly learning new skills, participating in various charity activities, and not forgetting to take good care of the flowers and plants they grow every day.
One day, Li Ming was helping to organize a cultural exchange activity for the elderly at a community service center. He was in charge of setting up the venue and carefully prepared a calligraphy performance. When the event began, Li Ming confidently walked up to the stage, splashed ink, and displayed the elegant calligraphy in front of everyone.
The old people in the audience were fascinated and applauded Li Ming's exquisite calligraphy skills. An elderly grandmother even said excitedly, "Wow, Uncle Li, you are so amazing! I have never seen such beautiful calligraphy." ”
After hearing this, Li Ming felt extremely proud and happy. He smiled and said to the old woman, "Thank you for the compliment." I just want to contribute to the community through my ability and enrich everyone's lives. ”
Looking at the focused expressions of the old men, Li Ming felt extremely warm in his heart. He thought that if he hadn't participated in these public welfare activities, he might not have been able to have today's gains. These activities not only made his life more meaningful, but also made him meet many friends and feel the warmth of life.
Li Ming's calligraphy training class soon attracted more and more elderly people to participate. Some of the participants did it as a hobby, while others wanted to learn calligraphy to keep their minds sharp and their fingers nimble. Whatever the reason, they were all seriously engaged and listened carefully to Li Ming's guidance.
Every time he saw the focused expressions of the students, Li Ming felt sincerely relieved and proud in his heart. He patiently guided everyone to master the basic strokes and structure of calligraphy, and encouraged everyone to practice more. Under his guidance, the students' calligraphy skills have also improved, and their works have become more and more beautiful.
One day, when Li Ming was sorting out the teaching materials for his calligraphy class, he suddenly thought that maybe he could hold a calligraphy exhibition in the community so that everyone could enjoy the students' works. He immediately discussed the idea with the community management office, and soon received everyone's support and cooperation.
As a result, a unique "Spring Festival Calligraphy Exhibition" kicked off at the community cultural activity center. Li Ming and his students carefully selected their most satisfactory works and hung them on the walls of the exhibition hall. On that day, there was an endless stream of people who came to visit the exhibition, and everyone either stopped to watch or praised, and the whole exhibition hall was filled with laughter.
Li Ming stood in the exhibition hall, looking at all this, feeling full of happiness and pride in his heart. He didn't expect that he just wanted to enrich his retirement life at the beginning, but he would be able to organize such a wonderful public welfare activity to benefit more people.
Halfway through the exhibition, a gray-haired old woman walked up to Li Ming, shook his hand and said, "Uncle Li, I can't believe that these beautiful works are from your students. You are amazing, not only taught them calligraphy, but also allowed them to show themselves here, which is amazing!"
Li Ming replied with a smile: "Thank you grandma for the compliment." In fact, these are the results of my students' own efforts, and I am just doing my part. It's gratifying to be able to help people find fun in their later years. ”
The old woman nodded again and again, and said sincerely: "You are so kind, it is good to have you in the community." I believe that you will continue to serve us and let more elderly people enjoy happiness. ”
With that, the old woman turned and walked away again. Li Ming looked at her back, and a warm current surged in his heart. He is deeply aware that his choice to participate in public welfare is the right decision. Not only does it make your life more colorful, but it also benefits the people around you.
When Li Ming was immersed in such a touch, he saw his wife Li Ting walking towards him. Her face was filled with sincere joy, and she beckoned to Li Ming as she walked.
"Look, husband, these works are so beautiful! Everyone praises your students for being amazing. Li Ting admired the calligraphy works in the exhibition hall and admired them sincerely.
"Yes, it's all a joint effort. I find it rewarding to be able to help so many people find joy in their later years. Li Ming said sincerely.
"I knew you were going to do something like this. You have always been a kind and upright person, and you can always think of thinking about others. Li Ting looked at Li Ming gently, her eyes full of love and appreciation for her husband.
Li Ming stretched out his hand and hugged Li Ting gently, feeling unprecedented steadfastness and satisfaction in his heart. He understands that it is with the support and understanding of his wife that he can be so active in public welfare and make his life so full and colorful.
Just then, a familiar figure ran over. I saw the little boy Ah Ming rush to Li Ming excitedly, grabbed his sleeve and kept saying: "Uncle, uncle, I have seen your calligraphy works, they are so beautiful! You must be a very good teacher." ”
"Amin, you also came to see the exhibition. Yes, I've been teaching calligraphy lately, and it seems that they are making good progress. Li Ming said with relief.
"Great, uncle, I also want to learn calligraphy, can you teach me?" Ah Ming looked at Li Ming expectantly.
"Of course you can, you'll be my student from now on. We're working together and I'm sure you'll learn it soon. Li Ming said cordially.
Looking at Ah Ming's cheerful appearance, Li Ming felt that his life was becoming more and more colorful. He can not only enrich himself through learning and public welfare activities, but also pass on positive energy and help more people in need. This feeling inspired him and his determination to continue to contribute to the community.
Since that calligraphy exhibition, Li Ming's life has completely shone with a new color. Not only has he been well received in the community, but he has also made new friends who are passionate about public welfare.
With everyone's support and encouragement, Li Ming began to prepare for more community activities. He has organized a variety of cultural exchange activities such as calligraphy and painting exhibitions, concerts, and cooking skills competitions, adding more fun to the lives of the elderly.
"Uncle Li is amazing, every event is so exciting, we all enjoy participating in it. An enthusiastic old lady was heartily amazed.
"Yes, with Uncle Lee's leadership, our retirement life has become more and more colorful. It's great to get to know you. The other old man nodded in agreement.
Hearing everyone's praise, Li Ming felt extremely relieved in his heart. He realized that he was not only helping the elderly in his community, but also making his life more fulfilling and meaningful.
One day, while helping out at a community service center, Li Ming unexpectedly met a young staff member. The staff member's name is Li Hui, and she seems to be warm and friendly.
"Hello Uncle Lee, it's amazing to hear that you have organized a lot of wonderful activities in the community. I'm a new staff member here, so we'll work together in the future. Li Hui greeted warmly.
"Oh, it's a new staff, nice to meet you. If you need help in the future, just let me know and I will do my best to support. Li Ming also responded.
"It's great so that we can work together a lot. By the way, I heard that you recently opened a calligraphy class in the community, I wonder if you can let me participate in the study?" asked Li Hui curiously.
"Absolutely, you are welcome to attend. There are a lot of enthusiastic students in my calligraphy class, and I am sure you will learn a lot. Li Ming happily invited.
Since then, Li Hui has been attending Li Ming's calligraphy training courses regularly. She studied hard, practiced diligently, and made rapid progress under Li Ming's careful guidance.
One day, Li Hui deliberately found Li Ming after class, "Uncle Li, I want to discuss something with you." You see, I've recently been wondering if I'm going to start a club for seniors in the community where people can come together to learn new things and have fun. What do you think of this idea?"
Li Ming's eyes lit up after hearing this, "This is a great idea! I think this will not only enrich everyone's retirement life, but also enhance everyone's communication and interaction." I fully support your idea, if you have anything you need help just let me know. ”
"Thank you so much, Uncle Li! I immediately started planning this event, hoping to make more elderly people happy. Li Hui said happily.
In this way, with Li Ming's strong support, Li Hui soon succeeded in setting up an interest group for the elderly in the community. This group has attracted many retirees to join, and everyone can learn various talents and skills here, such as calligraphy, painting, handicraft, etc., as well as chess and card entertainment.
The elders in the group had a lot of fun and enjoyed every activity. Li Ming also often goes to participate, learns and communicates with everyone, and enjoys such a fulfilling and interesting life in his later years.
"Uncle Li, thank you so much for your continued support and help. With your guidance and encouragement, I was able to make this interest group so successful. Li Hui said sincerely.
"No thanks, it's all as it should be. I'm glad to be able to help you and make your lives more colorful. Together, we contribute to the community and benefit more people. Li Ming said with a smile.
At this moment, an old man walked over, "Uncle Li, you see, the old people in our group are enthusiastic now, and they are enthusiastic to participate in every activity. You and Miss Li Hui have really done so much for us. ”
"Yes, we all thank you. If it weren't for your help, we would still be at home with nothing to do, living a boring retirement. Another elderly man also expressed his heartfelt gratitude.
Hearing everyone's sincere words, Li Ming and Li Hui both felt extremely warm in their hearts. They looked at each other and smiled, silently celebrating in their hearts that their efforts had finally been duly rewarded.
