Elderly people at a nursing home in Shanghai imitated the world's famous paintings and took photos of them, which went viral on the Internet and were wildly covered by the media.
The director of the Shanghai nursing home hired a special makeup artist and photographer for a group of elderly people to take their pictures. Instead of the usual snapshots, they were asked to imitate world-famous paintings, such as a young girl wearing pearl earrings, a girl weaving a flower garland and a woman holding a silver mouse. The old people's poses and gestures are very close to those of the famous paintings, resembling them both in form and in spirit.
The director of the nursing home said the purpose of this is to change people's impression of the life of the elderly in nursing homes, and also to let the elderly show their different charms. The old people's attitude and passion for life made netizens very envious and said they want to be like them in their own retirement life.
The photos of the old people have really changed our impression of the elderly. Usually we see old people walking in the park, chatting with other old men and women, playing chess and square dancing, but we just don't associate them with art. So this photo instantly gave us freshness and shock. It makes us feel that the elderly have kept up with the trends of the young, and that the decades-long generation gap has instantly become much smaller.
I think no matter what age you are, you have to keep the love of life, so that life will embrace you in turn. Human life is very short, and if old age is taken as the end of a wonderful life, then the interesting days are just a short half-life. So even if we reach the last moment of life, we have to carry on the interesting soul to the end.
Shanghai nursing home director's approach to the group of elderly people immediately became popular on the Internet, but also let the netizens appreciate the charm of this group of elderly people, while letting them once again show their value. In the boredom of old age life, find fun, find meaning, find happiness.
The elderly life when so not lost themselves, no longer need to worry about their children, living their own life, seeking inner happiness, until the end of life.
