Why do we let the elderly at home struggle is because we don't have enough economic foundation to pay for the expenses at home, and a large part of it is the medical needs of the elderly at home. Don't think I have gone too far. I didn't mean to take the old man as a burden when I said this, but based on the analysis of the facts. It doesn't matter that people get sick easily when they are old, but who can guarantee that one day they won't get seriously ill? I think most rural and even urban families in China can't bear a serious patient easily. In this way, we are faced with a dilemma, either to accompany the elderly when a serious illness strikes, or to let empty nesters work hard outside to gain the ability to resist future risks. I think most people will choose the latter. In fact, if you work hard outside, you can do very little for the elderly at home. Some people say that they can call the elderly at home more often and even chat through online video. I have to say that this is only enjoyed by a few people, not to mention whether you can teach the very old people in your family to use the Internet. You may work outside for more than 0/2 hours a day, and you can only eat instant noodles twice a day. How can you have time to make video calls with your family? So many things are full of ideals, and reality is very skinny. Just like when I'm not at home, it's hard to forget to call home. It's only five or six o'clock at home now, but it's also when I have a lot of things to do. Something delayed today, something delayed tomorrow, and a week passed. Sometimes I finally get through once, and my parents have something to do at home and hang up in a hurry. I don't know where to vent my long-simmering emotions.
So when working hard outside, we also know that parents and the elderly are lonely, but there is really no way.
