The movie "Return to 20", the 70-year-old returns to the time of 20 years old, and unfolds a hilarious and tear-jerking fantasy story. This Chongyang Festival, a group of elderly people in the Tianyang community of Wuxi City also experienced a journey of "returning to 20 years old". Jointly organized by Wuxi Tianyang Community and Yongzhi Public Welfare, it provides such an opportunity for the elderly and young people in the community to exchange dates, experience each other's living conditions and personality emotions, and gain more understanding and resonance with each other.
Dating the younger "self"
"I am from The Sunshine 100 Community, I am 65 years old, I am participating in this kind of activity for the first time, I want to find a young girl, that is, I walked into their lives, let her also enter the life of our elderly." 」 "My name is Zhou Min, I'm from the Arles community, and I want to know some of your lives, some of your ideas, and then bring you some of our young people's ideas." When pairing up for the first time, introduce themselves to each other. When dating alone, the 200 yuan dating fund is given to grandparents, who "take the rhythm" and choose the location, form and content of the date. Xihui Park, Nanchan Temple, Chong'an Temple, cinemas, cafes, have all become dating places.
Watching movies, drinking coffee, eating food, visiting attractions, and their respective activities are rich in content, so that each group of collocation objects can increase their understanding of each other and enhance their friendship in various scenes. "In our time, flared pants, toad mirrors, flower shirts, tape recorders, in today's parlance, you are the most beautiful boy on this street." It's different now, but script killing, escape room, KTV, cocktails, I'm now a new-age old man who can keep up with the trend." Uncle Tang smiled as he spoke.
"When we were dating, my aunt showed me where she worked when she was younger and flipped through old photos of her 'treasured'. In fact, many life truths are hidden in every day of life. Even as time changes and people's aesthetics and preferences change frequently, the values that flow in our blood are always passed on. Zhou Min, who is dating Shi Fengying in his seventies, said. After participating in this activity, I learned that people in their fifties and sixties, seventies and eighties actually need the company of our young people. Their lives, especially their lives, are sometimes boring and boring. The interaction and exchange with my aunt during this time made me feel that the 'friendship relationship' with the elderly was very precious, and also made me cherish the time between me and the elderly at home, so that I understood the importance of companionship! Another young man, Yang Dan, said.
"We hope that this social practice based on the dialogue relationship between youth and the elderly can inspire a wider range of people in society to recognize and think about a series of social issues such as the discourse power and living conditions of the elderly group, and the future of the younger generation under the aging society." You Jun, director of the Tianyang community, the organizer of the event, said.
