"What would you do if you were 72 years old?"
-- I guess I would be at home with my grandchildren and enjoying my life.
--If you are still physically able to do so, you will travel to see the country's great mountains and rivers.
......
72 years old, old age. After half a lifetime of wind and rain, some people feel that life is not interesting days boring, some people through the vicissitudes of life is still as warm as the beginning, and always maintain the curiosity of the world, wrinkles are not limited by age.
72-year-old Lotus is a retired teacher from Zhanjiang, Guangdong Wu Chuan Branch. There is no legend in her, and her life trajectory is the same as most ordinary people. Go to school, graduate, work, get married, have children ..... There are no ups and downs, and no great events.
But it was in his 70s that he put himself in the classroom of elegant grooming, stood in the middle of a group of young women, and stepped into a new field as a beginner.
Women born in the 1940s had a strong and subtle desire for beauty, but in the context of the times, they had to give in to the need for food and clothing and the responsibility of raising children.
The same is true for Lotus. In the first half of her life, she worked hard for her children, and in the second half of her life, she worked hard for her grandchildren, and then she waited until her grandchildren had grown up, and then she had some time for herself.
Two years ago, one night, she went out to dance in the square was accidentally hit by a guy riding an electric car on the ground, the leg was injured, home recuperation for a period of time, but still left the aftermath of the walking inconvenience. "Walking to be assisted, otherwise can not walk."
Recovering from the injury was a difficult task for the 70-year-old, and her children took her to various hospitals, and although she was able to walk on her own later, her legs were not as strong as before.
In addition to suffering from severe frozen shoulder, her hands can't lift up, and she can't even brush her hair, so she needs her partner to brush her hair every day.
Long-term labor and bad habits, cervical vertebrae also fell into the problem, towering rich package, both unattractive and sleep.
Although these fall on a 70-year-old, is a commonplace thing, but she did not want to ignore. "I want to age healthily, beautifully, gracefully and wisely, and I want to have a share of initiative over time."
The first time she came into contact with elegance, she looked at the classroom, "Pavilion long jade neck, a small waist" of women, she was delighted and yearning. "My heart is like what hit me, dust in my heart of that desire for beauty was ignited at once, I enrolled in the advanced class program."
During the day-to-day training in the advanced class, her legs gradually regained their strength, and squats, stretches, and half-splits that she couldn't do before could be easily accomplished.
What impresses her is that when she went to Qingyuan earlier this year to participate in the "2021 National Wind New Showground - Zhenxianzhuimeng" thousand people ceremony, she went to the glass bridge to play with the sisters of the Wu Chuan branch, and she climbed up the mountain in one fell swoop, but some of the fellow sisters need to take a break halfway through.
Later, after thorough consideration and to ensure the safety of the premise, the family's consent and support, her partner personally enrolled her in the advanced class upgrade Diva class.
The Diva class starts from every part of the body, with targeted training and shaping of every part, so that the body is put in its place and elegance is implanted in the heart.
She set off like a young man. In addition to her legs gradually regaining strength, her frozen shoulder and cervical spine problems also got better, and her sleep was much better compared to before. In the middle of the conversation, she did a set of movement demonstration for us to see, the whole person's essence is very good. "Before I was worried that I would not be able to keep up with the pace of the class because of my age and lack of foundation, but after the three phases of the Tian Hou class, I don't have this concern at all."
Some of her contemporaries were so moved by her perseverance that they shared her story with their own mothers, encouraging them to be brave enough to step out and learn as well. "Many people often lament that they are getting old and old>, however, the fact is that as long as you keep a curiosity about the world, keep your beginnings intact, and go fearlessly like a child when you want to do something, then the most time will take away is your face."
When asked if she's been questioned along the way, she's optimistic and always firm in her choices.
"Some people say, why are you tossing and turning when you're 78? Tossing is not for young people. No matter how old we are, we have to make life always colorful, that is a kind of aspiration and attitude. At 72 years old, I'm happy to be able to toss like a young man. Life in the world, are a fight with time, rather than waiting for time to me >, rather than take the initiative to time to hand >, at least to the day I really can not go I will not have any regrets."
At 72 years old, she enjoys life without indulging in it, and has been through all the vicissitudes without being negative.
This is an unattainable optimism for most people. The secret of her optimism is to "live to learn" and always keep herself curious and in awe of the world like a child.
In her 70s, she has a lot to say about blossoming like a flower in a new field.
"People of my generation, born in a relatively barren era, have too many limitations in their pursuit of beauty and elegance when they are young, but we are living in a good era, I want to be someone who retains the virtues of the traditional woman, such as diligence and tenacity, but also learns the spirit of the new era of women. Maintain an optimistic and light heart in continuous learning, and be graceful to the end on the way forward."
May every woman be the master of time, always keep a young mind and be elegant to the end.
