Looking at the life of the elderly in Japan after retirement, and then looking at the life of the elderly in China after retirement, there is no comparison at all! Looking at the old Japanese lady who works part-time, she is quite sad.
I have a colleague who went to Japan ten years ago, just started to work, and then the whole family went, and opened a massage parlor, which came back two days ago to handle retirement, and a few of our better sisters got together for a meal and chatted. She told us that China is better, especially for the elderly.
She talked endlessly about her life in Japan over the years and what she had seen and heard, and she said that before she went to Japan, the Japan she had heard was completely different from the real Japan, which subverted her three views.
What I saw on TV was that the Japanese old man was cooking at home, tidying up the house or something, but it actually made her jaw drop, she said that she just got off the plane and called a taxi, but I didn't expect the driver to be an old lady, my colleague asked her with a suspicious and surprised expression. Only then did I know that the old lady was over 70 years old this year.
Think about the elderly at this age, in China, they either enjoy life at home, or they are taken care of in a nursing home, or they go to the park and dance or something, in short, they enjoy life. It's impossible for a 70-year-old lady to come out to work!
The old lady not only drove the car well, but also the service was very good. I got out of the car and helped her get something, my colleague looked at it, what kind of thing did he say, he didn't let the old lady take anything, and wanted to give her more money, but the old lady refused very politely, saying nothing.
After going to Japan, I learned that the elderly in Japan work to make money, there are a lot of people, very common, not a strange phenomenon, Japan is very aging, the elderly over 65 years old have accounted for 1/3 of the country, the aging is serious, the labor force is declining.
Japan has postponed the retirement age to 75 years old, and in Japan, the taxi industry, the catering industry, and the cleaning industry are all done by the elderly, which is not a strange thing, and it is normal for her to say that there is a shopping mall opposite her store, and there are many elderly people over 70 years old who work.
It's such a blessing to look at the elderly in China. I still get a pension every month, I can do whatever I want, play and dance, travel, soak in hot springs, and live freely, not to mention more moisturizing. This is the real enjoyment of old age!
The old Japanese don't have that blessing, and the old Japanese still have to come out to earn money at the age of 70 or 80, and there is no way! Their pension is very small, and they don't usually save money, and if they don't support themselves, food and clothing are a problem. In order to survive, they have to come out to earn money to support themselves, and they also pick some simple, non-productive jobs to do.
In contrast, China's elderly are too happy. When you reach retirement age, you will have a pension. Whether it's a little more or a little less, life is still more than enough, and it will rise every year. The bosses in Japan know that these old people will continue to work with a small salary in order to survive.
The elderly in China want to use their spare heat to find some work, but the children do not agree, unless they are in particularly good health. Some people will ask, do the children of the elderly in Japan care about them? Japan and China have different concepts, and the Chinese put filial piety first.
The Japanese don't care much about raising their children, and they live on their own. The Japanese elderly, feel that their children have their own life, they should also be independent, even if they are difficult to disturb their children, so the feelings between them are not so strong, the elderly in China, whether in the city or in the countryside, the children are very filial, there are children to take care of, the family enjoys family fun together.
In fact, whether Japanese or Chinese, the elderly want to live a good life, but the culture and situation of each country are different, so the life of the elderly after retirement is also different. What are your views on the life of retired people in China and the retirement life of the elderly in Japan? Thank you for your attention, see you in the next video
