My name is Li Ming and I am 60 years old this year. For many, turning 60 may mean retirement and enjoying old age, but for me, it's a time of doubt and unease. Because, I once asked myself a question: after the age of 60, do men still need women?
This question has been struggling in my mind for a long time. Until one day, I met her on an ordinary afternoon.
That day, I was sitting alone on a park bench with a lot of thoughts. Suddenly, a warm smile appeared in front of me, and when I looked up, it was a plainly dressed woman, who looked very old. She smiled and said to me, "Uncle, how are you?"
At that moment, I felt as if I had been ignited in a long-lost flame, and I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Who are you, and why are you talking to me?"
She smiled and said, "I'm the cleaner of this park, and I see you sitting here every day, and my heart seems heavy, and I want to talk to you." ”
Her words warmed me and I couldn't help but smile. We started a simple conversation and she told me her story and that her life wasn't easy, but she remained optimistic and strong.
In my conversations with her, I gradually discovered the fact that even after the age of 60, men still need women. Why do I say that? First of all, women can bring emotional support and comfort to men. At my most lost time, her presence gave me new hope and courage. Secondly, women can bring warmth and happiness to men in life. Although she is just an ordinary cleaner, her smile and care make me feel extremely warm and happy. Finally, women can bring joy and meaning to life to men. In my conversation with her, I rediscovered the joy and meaning of life, and I began to look forward to each day.
So, I decided to be friends with her and would come to the park every day to chat with her. Although our lives are not luxurious, we have the most precious thing of all: companionship and understanding for each other. I learned that even after the age of 60, men still need women, because only women can bring true happiness and satisfaction to men.
