We choose to travel abroad, not only to feel the exotic flavor, but also want to see is to travel to the country's life of the hundred, after all, each country has belonged to their own history and culture, so in some of the habits, there is a natural difference. Even from our country is very close to some neighboring countries, but also and our country's rhythm is different. Take Japan as an example, tourists traveling in Japan can certainly see the difference between the Japanese life and ours.
Taking the life of the elderly alone, the life of the Chinese elderly and the Japanese elderly is a bit different. Before traveling in Japan, will find in the commute time, can still see some full head of gray hair of the elderly holding a briefcase waiting for the bus, even the subway station also has a lot of these elderly? Even at subway stations, there are many elderly commuters. The subway station also has many of these elderly commuters. I heard people say that because Japan is a serious aging country, the lack of population lack of labor, so the retirement age has been pushed back. Retirement age is 10 years later than China, the Japanese elderly in 70 years old retirement, if the age but still want to continue to work, the Japanese elderly can still have been so work.
The retirement age for Chinese seniors is currently 60 for men and 55 for women, which is a bit earlier than the Japanese. The Japanese have been able to live a more leisurely life. retirement life. Most Chinese seniors don't have nothing to do when they don't have to go to work. On the streets of China, you can still see some old people working as sanitation workers, and some old people choose to work as cleaners. And those who don't have a job are basically helping to raise their children, that is, bringing up their grandchildren.
When their children are busy at work, the Chinese elderly basically take care of their grandchildren's food, clothing, shelter and transportation, taking them to and from school, taking care of the family's three meals a day, and doing some household chores. But in their spare time, they will have their own? entertainment programs? such as walking outside, square dancing, practicing Tai Chi, playing chess, and so on. Those who are in a position to do so will also organize their own friends and go out for a trip together. Because of the Chinese tradition, most of the old people will live with their children after retirement, in fact, there is a little ? Raise children to prevent old age, old people have something to rely on? s traditional concept.
This is not the case for the Japanese elderly, who rarely choose to live with their children even if they don't work anymore, and usually don't come into regular contact unless they need help. In addition to some of Japan's more traditional families, most of the Japanese elderly and their children live relatively independent, are choosing to live their own lives, Japanese children will not often give their parents living expenses, because the Japanese elderly themselves have a pension. Compared to China, Japan, this phenomenon sounds more indifferent, but it is also common, but the parents body if there is any problem, Japanese children will also take responsibility.
So look, Chinese elderly and Japanese elderly life is still very different, mainly by the two countries customs and cultural influences, produce this difference. And I traveled with a friend after seeing the differences, said, fortunately in China old age! But I think that in fact there is no say which one is good and which one is bad, mainly depends on the elderly to choose which way of life, as long as it is their favorite, as a child of course, will cooperate and support. For the life of the elderly in China and Japan, what else do you think? Welcome to leave a message in the comments section.
