At noon in summer, the sun is scorching, and the old locust trees in the courtyard cast dappled shadows. Ah Xing sat on a wicker chair under the tree, holding a chess piece in his hand, but his eyes drifted into the distance, as if he was thinking about something.
"Ah Xing, have you heard? Someone has recently sorted out all the pension levels. Neighbor Lao Wang shook his fan and walked over while wiping his sweat.
Ah Xing came back to his senses and smiled slightly: "Oh, yes, I would like to hear what other levels this pension can be divided into." ”
Lao Wang sat down and said mysteriously, "Then I'll tell you." It is said that the lowest level has a monthly pension of just over 1,000, and the highest level, oh, is astronomical!"
Ah Xing listened, and his heart moved. He remembered that he had worked hard in the factory all these years, and although he was not rich and rich, he could still live a stable life. Pension, for him, is not only a guarantee in his old age, but also a recognition of his hard work in his life.
"Then what level do you think ordinary people like us can fall to?" Ah Xing asked tentatively.
Lao Wang sighed: "Hey, to be honest, it's good for ordinary workers like us to have a lower middle level." You want a higher pension unless you have chosen a better career or made better grades. ”
Ah Xing was silent. He knew in his heart that what Lao Wang said was the truth. But he also believes that everyone's life has its own value and meaning, and the pension level does not fully measure a person's achievements and happiness.
In the days that followed, Ah Xing began to pay attention to the topic of pension levels. He looked up information on the Internet, discussed with friends, and even went to the community counselling office. He found that pension ratings do exist, and they are closely related to an individual's occupation, income, years of service, and other factors.
However, he also found that not all people with higher pension levels are happy and content, while some people with lower pensions live full and happy lives. He began to wonder what the pension level really means, and does it really determine a person's old age?
At a party with an old friend, Ah Xing raised his doubts. Friends have expressed their opinions, some people think that the pension level is important because it is related to the quality of life in old age, and some people believe that pension is only a part of life, and real happiness lies in the mentality and lifestyle.
Ah Xing listened to everyone's discussion, and his heart gradually became clearer. He realized that while pension ratings are important, they are not the only measure of a person's later life. Everyone's life has its own color and temperature, and the key lies in how we face and enjoy it.
He began to adjust his mindset and no longer focus too much on the level of pension. He has learned to cherish his present life and spend quality time with his family and friends, he has learned to find joy in life, whether it is playing chess, raising flowers or traveling, and he has learned to be grateful and share, using his experience and wisdom to help those around him.
The sun in the summer courtyard is still shining, and Ah Xing's life has become more fulfilling and beautiful. He is no longer bound by the pension hierarchy, but creates and enjoys his own happiness in his own way.
In the end, Ah Xing found his own answer in his heart. He understands that the pension level is just an external label, and what really matters is how we face life, how we find and create our own happiness.
The story spread throughout the community, and Ah Xing's name became a good story in people's mouths. His experience has made people realize that pension level is not the only measure of old age, and that true happiness lies in how we face and enjoy every moment of life.
In this story, Ah Xing gradually finds his own attitude and way of life through thinking and exploration. He used his own experience to tell us that regardless of the pension level, we should cherish the present life, face the future positively, and create and enjoy happiness in our own way.
At the same time, this story also provokes us to think about the pension system and old age. The pension system was established to ensure the livelihood of the elderly, but it does not completely determine a person's happiness in old age. We should pay attention to the actual needs and psychological state of the elderly, and create a more livable and friendly living environment for them.
When we can all face life with a more open and inclusive mind, pay attention to the people and things around us, and create and enjoy our own happiness, the world will become more beautiful and full of hope.
