In a small village, there lived an elderly man named Mr. Li. He is already very old, but he has a very young mentality, always full of optimism and energy. He is always smiling and loves to chat with his neighbors and share his life experience and wisdom.
Although Mr. Li is old, he does not feel that he needs to rely on his children. On the contrary, he felt that he should live for himself and enjoy the beauty of life. He does what he enjoys every day, such as walking, reading, drawing, etc. He never complained about his physical condition, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with his life. Instead, he sees it as his own choice, his own way of life.
However, Mr. Li's lifestyle has made his children feel very hard. They have to take care of their elderly parents every day, and they also have to work, which is very hard. However, Mr. Li always felt that he was not dragging them down, and he felt that they should live for themselves, not sacrifice their lives for him.
There is a saying in the village: "There are two kinds of long-lived old people, one is optimistic and upward-looking, and the other is selfish and lives only for themselves." "However, the middle ground is overlooked, a way of living a long life that is considerate of others, cherishes life, and lives for oneself.
Mr. Li's story tells us that longevity is not just about living longer, but about having a positive and optimistic attitude, being able to live for yourself, and at the same time being considerate of the suffering of others. Only such elderly people can truly enjoy the beauty of life and live a long life.
Therefore, we should learn from Mr. Li's optimism and tenacity, not to be afraid of aging and death, but to cherish every moment of our lives and live for ourselves and others at the same time. This kind of longevity is the real longevity, and it is the way to longevity that we should pursue.
