In Nayi, Henan, there is a very lively small park, which is crowded with aunts and uncles walking around every morning and evening. Uncle Li and Uncle Wang, two old buddies, are the resident guests in the park, and they have to chat a few words every day. No, the topics in their mouths have been occupied by a "fierce material" recently-Lao Zhang, who usually looks very decent, and he is a lover in his fifties!
"What do you say Lao Zhang is here?" Uncle Li snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, looking confused. "Yes, the children at home are all abroad, and my wife is also busy, but it's not like this, right?" Uncle Wang shook his head, and the two of them fell into deep thought. They wondered, is Lao Zhang's behavior because the family is too deserted and wants to find some excitement? Or, do you feel that life is too dull and want to make a little "little waves"?
"We can't guess, we have to talk to Lao Zhang." Uncle Li proposed. So, the two made an appointment to meet at the teahouse, planning to have a "truth or dare". As soon as Lao Zhang sat down, his face was a little unnatural. "Lao Zhang, we are all old friends, what can't we say?" Uncle Li got straight to the point. Lao Zhang sighed and finally spoke: "The house is really deserted." The children are not around, the wife is busy, and sometimes there is no one to talk to. ”
As soon as Lao Zhang's words came out, Uncle Li and Uncle Wang chuckled in their hearts. Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lao Zhang's family to fall out. When his wife found out about this, she was so angry that she went directly to Uncle Li for help. "Uncle Li, you have to help me persuade Lao Zhang, this day is over?" Looking at his old friend's wife with tears in her eyes, Uncle Li didn't feel good in his heart.
"Lao Zhang, you have to think clearly, what can this lover give you? Is it the warmth of home, or the smiling face of a child? Uncle Li and Uncle Wang took turns to fight and persuaded bitterly. Lao Zhang also began to reflect on his actions, and gradually, he realized that he was wrong. He began to try to repair his relationship with his wife and try to return to the family. The atmosphere at home has slowly returned to its former warmth.
Lao Zhang's story is actually a microcosm. In the final analysis, there are two reasons why a man is looking for a lover after the age of fifty: one is to seek excitement and find something fresh in his ordinary life; The second is loneliness in the heart, longing to be understood and cared for. But for both reasons, there are huge risks. Not only do they hurt the family, but they also plunge the man himself deeper into loneliness and confusion.
Lao Zhang's transformation allows us to see the power of family. No matter how great the temptations and challenges are, as long as you have love and responsibility in your heart, you can find your way home. For men, after the age of 50, they should understand a truth: true happiness is not found in the outside world of flowers, but at home, by the side of lovers, and in the laughter of children. Cherishing the people in front of you and managing the family with heart is the right way.
Lao Zhang's story is finished, but the reflections left for us are far from over. After the age of fifty, a man should be more mature and steady, know how to cherish and be grateful. Family is our strongest backing and our warmest harbor. Don't act in a way that hurts your family because of impulsiveness and loneliness. Remember that sentence: Knowing the destiny of heaven at fifty should cherish the family even more!
