The old trees in front of the door grow new buds, and the dead trees in the yard bloom again.
Half-lived a lot of words, hidden in a head of white hair.
Most of our impressions of old people live like the old people around us or in movies and TV shows.
But in fact, are we who have grown up in the new century really like this?
When we get old, we may not like to eat shortbread or rice cakes. Instead, we will eat spicy sticks and potato chips under the sunset.
When we get old, we may not like to drink wolfberry or scented tea. We will drink a few bottles of Wanglaoji by ourselves in the small yard.
When we get old, there are not many of us who can play chess well, but we are still good players in the game, and we don’t obey anyone else.
When we get old, we are still not interested in the news about the country’s “70th or 80th National Congress”, but we have followed Jay Chou’s grandson on Weibo.
When we get old, we will not feel lonely because many friends have "gone" one after another, but we will feel lonely because we have a bunch of online friends but have no one to talk to.
When we get old, we will not dress particularly plainly in order to appear stable, but will always prove that we are not out of touch with the times.
When we get old, we may not read many newspapers, but all the trivial matters in the world cannot escape our mobile phones.
When we get old, we probably won’t be able to understand the songs of young people, but they don’t seem to understand our songs either.
When we get old, our square dance will not be "You are my little apple", but "Follow my left and right hands in slow motion".
When we get old, we are less likely to rely on our age in public situations because we don’t feel that we will be “old”.
When we get old, we will not force our children to marry or forcefully instill any ideas. After all, after experiencing the interference of the previous generation, we, who are self-aware, have already learned not to impose on others.
When we get old and leave, what we can’t let go of most is not material possessions, but social networks. Because the audio, video and text recorded at every time point there record the wonderful things in our life, the right or wrong people, the proud or ridiculous things.
When we get old and look back on everything in this life, if we don’t have any regrets, it is probably the biggest regret.
