"Without a family, in the vast universe, people will be cold and shivering." - Moroa
For thousands of years, the Chinese nation has been based on the family as a unit, "the family is the smallest country, and the country is ten million."
Every time there is a festival, especially the Spring Festival, the wanderers who have left their hometowns will return home thousands of miles away, just to enjoy the happy time of the whole family reunion.
Many people go out to work and run, just for the prosperity of the family, so that the parents, wives and children at home can live a good life.
The Chinese essayist and writer Bing Xin once said: "The family is not only a comfortable accommodation, a place to rest after work, but first of all a colorful place of spiritual life." A good family is the source of all happiness and strength. ”
Bingxin's words vividly reflect the meaning of family to each of us.
Whether the family is poor or rich, golden or simple, as long as you are at home, there is a feeling of great comfort and full of energy, because home is a place where you can wash away all the worries in the world.
Home is a place to shelter from the wind and rain, a place to rest when we are tired, the safest haven, and home is so important to each of us.

But if all the relatives in the family have passed away, then even if the house called "Home" is still there, it has lost its meaning, and perhaps we will not cherish it so much and it will not be so difficult to give up.
There is such an old man in Japan who, after the death of all his family members, turned his home where he had lived for many years directly into a garbage dump.
This old man is 70 years old, but he has been "nibbling on the old" all his life, what is his story?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="17" > a mountain of garbage mansions</h1>
One day, a Program in Japan received a call from an old man who invited them to come to their home for an interview, and the program staff drove there.
After arriving, the staff found that the place was a bamboo forest, the environment was quiet, and the people who could live here were very rich people.
In the winding path is the house of the interviewee old man, which is a separate mansion.
When the staff speculated about what kind of warm and harmonious family scenes would be inside after opening the door, the scene after opening the door made the staff all stunned.
When they walked in, they saw that the whole house was full of garbage, and there was no place to stay.
The staff all wondered that there was only one elderly person in the family, and that was 70-year-old Maeda Ryoji.
Maeda told his story at this time, and it turned out that Maeda's family used to be very rich.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="20" > ashes-level senior "nibbling old people"</h1>
His parents were well-known local merchants, and Maeda could eat and drink even without having to do any work.
Gradually, Maeda became accustomed to the superior life given by his parents, and he also thought that going to school and working were useless things, so in this case, Maeda Ryojiu kept eating at home.
Maeda also has a younger sister, and her sister and family not only do not stop Maeda's behavior of nibbling on the elderly, but also have a very conniving attitude.
When Maeda's friends went to school, worked, and struggled for a better future, Maeda was still an "old man" who reached out to his parents.
Japan is originally a country with greater pressure, especially the pressure to have children.
This has directly led to Japan's low marriage rate, low fertility rate, and many young people have chosen to enjoy a happy and carefree single life, unwilling to bear the high cost of raising children.
Japan is also facing a population ageing that has been of widespread global concern in recent years.
The problem of population aging in Japan is even more serious, because the elderly in Japan generally live a long life.
3 out of ten elderly people are long-lived elderly people, the population is seriously aging, and the newborn population is small.
This has left Japan's "population pyramid" seriously unbalanced, and in order to solve this problem, the Japanese government will take out money every month to subsidize the lives of the elderly.
However, the phenomenon of population aging has gradually intensified the phenomenon of gnawing on the elderly.
Young people don't have to work, they don't have an income, and they can live with their parents' pensions.
This is a common occurrence in Japan, especially for single people who have not started a family. There was once a Japanese program dedicated to this incident.
As a senior "nibbling old man", Maeda Ryoji still refused to give up his previous life of "clothes to reach out and food to open his mouth" when his parents could not make money.
So under the government's pension subsidy, he continued to nibble on the "old" at home.
Maeda has not worked for many years and has zero income, but he can still maintain a wealthy life.
After the death of his parents, he gave up on himself.
This is inseparable from the connivance of his parents and sister, but "the weather is unpredictable", and Maeda's parents later died of illness.
At this time, Maeda Ryoyoshi, who had lost his dependence, even if he wanted to find a job, was already old, and he had more than enough and was not strong enough.
Maeda, who was already accustomed to the state of "lying down and eating" at home, continued to take his parents' inheritance and lived in the previous house, living a life without work or going out.
His sister often received Maeda Ryo, and later her sister also died, by which time Maeda's relatives had passed away.
Maeda fell into a deep despair, believing that he could only eat enough every day.
He has no hope for life, the room has garbage, do not clean, and eventually the garbage piled up into a mountain.
After eating, he threw the dishes in the pool and let the hair grow moldy.
Maeda's self-abandonment attitude towards life is on the one hand caused by the previous old lifestyle, and on the other hand, because of the total death of his relatives, which has plunged him into decadence.
The program team really couldn't see this garbage-filled life, so they paid for Maeda Ryojiu to clean up the garbage in his home, enough to clean up two trucks.
Now Maeda's legacy has been wiped out, and he relies on eating high-protein natto to maintain nutrition every day.
But no matter how depressed life is, Maeda Ryoku did not think of selling this mansion in exchange for living expenses.
Because this house carries too many memories of himself and his family, although his family has passed away, Maeda Ryo, who lives here, seems to be able to see them.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="4" > conclusion</h1>
Although Maeda's attitude to life is very unworthy of promotion, his behavior of nibbling on the old is even less worth learning from young people.
But Maeda's nostalgia and warmth for home are still deeply moving, and if Maeda had children, he would certainly not live in the garbage heap.
The life of empty nesters without children, or with children working outside, is often so hard.
Let's spend more time with our parents, after all, what the elderly want most in their lives is companionship and reunion.
