Why don't all the old people in Europe and America square dance? What do they do to pass their retirement time?

I know a foreign old couple, are more than 70 years old, the two individuals are very fat, they retired, will not help their children with children, usually grind their own coffee in the morning, coffee brewed, the two people sit down slowly slowly tasting coffee, and then not far from their homes on the lawn to go skating dog, the two individuals together always have to say endless jokes, the afternoon they chat with a few elderly friends, retired days seem to be over! Their retired life seemed to be very full and happy. In fact, their son is living a very difficult life, the son's family has three children, the son in order to support the three children every day to work very late to come home. The old foreign couple said, "Live your own life. When their children grow up, they will be independent people, and their lives, whether good or bad, poor or rich, have nothing to do with them. They are right, but our old people can't understand this problem so well, and they can't do it so elegantly.

A: Idea - "decibel schooling"

1, do not disturb others is the bottom line of being a human being - there are others in mind

2, do not influence Others is the norm of being a human being - respect for others, move with emotion.

3, the public **** place is everyone **** enjoy the platform - think differently, reasoning.

4, since childhood on all kinds of stage performances - the school period is the backbone of entertainment, favored all kinds of stage.

5, what age to do what things - drinking coffee, listening to music, lawn care, take care of the home, driving sightseeing, vacation ...... is the standard of the old life.

Elderly people in developed countries in Europe and the United States live a much more colorful life than the domestic elderly.

Next I briefly introduce a series of developed countries in Europe and the United States elderly life.

1, settled abroad type

I'm here to talk about the British middle class after retirement, his pension can be divided into occupational pension (similar to social security) and the state pension, to the middle class, for example, almost a month there is about 2,000 pounds after tax.

This amount of money in the United Kingdom is nothing, but if you go to Malaysia, India, Singapore, these Commonwealth countries is a lot of money, India, although the country as a whole is very backward, but for example, Bangalore, Chennai, Goa are very suitable for these Europe and the United States of America elderly people to retire.

Not to mention Malaysia and Singapore.

If you are a frequent traveler to Thailand, you will find that there are a large number of retired single old men from developed countries in Europe and the United States who are relying on their pensions to pick up 20-year-old girls in Thailand.

2, continuing education type

Europe and the United States developed countries have a senior university, not to mention the United Kingdom, France, such as the European countries, even the United States, many private universities are free of charge to the retired elderly, the elderly can be free of charge to read the senior university as well as the general university.

My high school classmate later went to the United States to study for a doctorate, is Arizona State University, he said that their school every year there are a lot of 60 years old old people repeat freshman year and so on.

3, the type of global tourism

In fact, Europe and the United States developed countries "global cruise" travel is the main customer of the country's retired old lady, these people are willing to spend money and willing to spend money, so Canada, the United States, a lot of travel cruise lines are the main customers are more than 70 years old.

4, retirement community

Europe and the United States have the kind of only the elderly can buy housing in the community, these communities are for the elderly, these communities are designed specifically for the elderly house, especially for the convenience of the elderly legs and feet.

At the same time, these communities Entertainment facilities are very complete, not just chess, badminton and so on, the vast majority of this kind of retirement community has a golf course, if you go to these communities to visit, you can see that many of the elderly will be able to drive a golf cart directly home.

5, volunteer

Many old men and women can't stay idle, they go to museums and libraries to do volunteer work, I met many such volunteers in the United States and Britain when I visited the museum

I also met an old lady who spoke Chinese in a museum in London, and when I asked, I realized that she used to be a staff member of the British Embassy in China, and she was bored after her retirement and volunteered at the museum. I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do to help.

To be clear, the developed countries in Europe and the United States generally have much higher pensions than the domestic elderly, and medical benefits and other things are better than the less developed countries, so these elderly people retired life than the domestic elderly colorful too much.

I am currently retired, finally free. Early in the morning after breakfast, the work of the out of the door, and then in bed for a while, and then clean the court. Lunch home alone, sometimes go to accompany my parents, cooking and eating. Basically, I still like to be alone, sipping tea, listening to music, reading books, taking a walk, and enjoying the quiet years.

European and American seniors do not care about square dancing, they think that the Western social dance is more elegant and noble than the square dance of the big mom, they are old enough to dance, and now they quit the dance hall and go home to grow flowers and plants and take care of themselves, is it not happy. Western seniors like to retire alone, they are not like the Chinese amah love to get together, everyone together square dance, and then the western square are expressly prohibited by law noise nuisance, naturalized Chinese amah repeatedly want to jump in the square noon, are prohibited, and tend to catch up on the spot. Visible square dance in Europe and the United States is difficult to carry out. Western elderly people are not very enthusiastic about square dancing. They often go out for sightseeing, enjoying the natural scenery, entertaining life and prolonging life, so as to pass the retirement time.

Recently on the Internet on the world's old people live to do a summary of what is said to have a certain truth: Japan's 70-year-olds continue to earn money for the enterprise to fight for light; the United States 70-year-olds in the presidential campaign for the country to fight for light; Germany's 70-year-olds in the company when the boss, for the family to fight for light; France's 70-year-olds in the preparation of the wedding to marry their wives, for the love of the fight for light; China's 70-year-olds lined up in hospitals to see the sick The 70-year-olds in China are queuing up at the hospital to see the doctor and get treatment, and they are fighting for their lives. This statement is not necessarily completely accurate, but it can illustrate a country's elderly for the concept of survival of the understanding.

Most of the elderly in China, after retirement, there is always a realization that after a lifetime of revolutionary work, fighting for their children all their lives, it is time to rest. With this concept, will produce hedonistic thinking, so the sky, the sea and the north, Yunnan, Hainan, Guangdong, Guangxi, everywhere is the figure of the old man playing; square, park, neighborhoods next to the old man dancing everywhere. Can not be denied, the elderly to travel, to keep fit, to dance is the improvement of living conditions, the embodiment of the needs of spiritual life. They exercise their bodies in order to prolong their lives, the second is not to drag their children, the third is to make up for the heart. But in the end, the Chinese old man's way of life, suitable for China's national conditions, as long as the old man is living a happy life, dancing a square dance is a very good hobby. Of course, there are many Chinese old people after retirement, and then go to play the spare capacity, do some work, for the country to compete, for the family to increase income.

The elderly in Europe and the United States basically do not jump square dance, Chinese women in Europe and the United States to jump square dance had been expelled. They do not dance in addition to different customs and habits, do not care about the following aspects of the reason: First, Europe and the United States because of dietary habits and genetic inheritance of the elderly, the elderly body compared to the Asian elderly physical fitness, so their bodies are capable of continuing to work in Europe and the United States to see the sixty or seventy years old in the work of the old man is a very normal thing; Second, the European and American consumption habits and the Chinese are different, Chinese have the habit of saving money for retirement, the Chinese have the habit of saving money for retirement. Chinese people have the habit of saving money for retirement, most of the elderly after retirement, are more or less have an old bottom, in order to prepare for emergencies, while people in Europe and the United States, money to spend, money to spend, no money to earn, their elderly after retirement, there is not enough money for them to consume in order to make up for the life they need, they have to go to work to earn money; three is the European and American countries, basically no matter what the children after retirement to ask for money in order to survive, they also have to go to work to earn money, they have to go to work to earn money. Thirdly, the elderly in Europe and the United States basically do not care about their children's money after retirement, in order to survive, they also have to go to work to earn money. Therefore, after the retirement of the elderly in Europe and the United States, and then go to work in the minority.

In addition, Europe and the United States, the elderly after retirement, divided into several large parts of the remaining time to pass, one is traveling, for the state welfare benefits, the pension of the elderly, to travel, travel around the world as the main work after retirement. The second is to develop their own specialties and hobbies. And many elderly people after retirement, with their own specialties to create a lot of inventions, for mankind to make a monumental contribution. The third is to do public service, they organized themselves, for their hometown, for their own city to do some of the things that can be done, for example, cleaning the streets, adopting stray animals, street performances, lost and found and so on.

Therefore, the way to support the elderly will be different from country to country, and it is a good idea to complement each other's strengths and weaknesses.

According to my exchange with a few foreigners, there are three reasons.

First, Europeans and Americans have been cultivating independent personalities since childhood, and in addition to team-based sports sports, such as basketball and volleyball, it is rare for several people to come together to do a kind of sports in a public **** place.

Secondly, from an aesthetic point of view, the form of square dance they feel inexplicable, both vulgar and aesthetic weird.

Finally, the perception of public **** place is different, whether it is a performance, or self-indulgence, will not be in the public **** place.

Our elderly square dancing is mainly organized by someone, the elderly actively participate in the daytime to help their children with children, do housework, relax and unwind at night, listen to music and dance is the most affordable senior spiritual enjoyment, but also and neighbors to contact the feelings of the elderly in Europe and the United States, there are many elderly people are now beginning to like to dance, people can not be old and sit down and read, can not be old to go to the coffee shop! Drinking coffee or tea, not to mention the old out Travel, according to personal preferences, more according to the national conditions within their reach to enrich their old age.

Different cultures! Foreign elderly people have to drink coffee in the morning for a long time, reading books, organizing the garden, walking the dog, meeting friends in the bar ... is also rich and colorful!

In Europe and the United States, men and women do not retire until the age of 67! Plus the body and fat head, thick waist, big butt! How can you dance? China's elderly happy! In the late nineties to carry out enterprise reform, a lot of elderly women 48, men 55 can apply to engage in sick retirement, my husband and wife is! After retirement, they can take up a second job and bring up their grandchildren to do housework! I have attended dancing and singing classes in the University for the Elderly! Foreign sparsely populated, living too scattered, they like to drive around to have fun more!
