What does it mean to embrace old age?

The meaning of "embrace group" is to closely unite together or collude with each other, and "embrace group" is a hot topic nowadays. We would like to share with you some information about Japan and Germany. Let me first share with you the forms of group elderly care in Japan, Germany and the United States. Japan 1. Japan: "Matching the young and the old"? In Japan, has entered the super-aging society, for the exploration of the aging problem, Japan has not stopped, starting in 2015, the Japanese society to the metropolis as the center began to popularize a "cross-generation cohabitation" "old and young match" mode. College students are living with empty-nesters in their homes, and this new form of cohabitation, based on mutual benefit, has also become a new exploration of the form of old age. ? Most empty nesters have a concern: after their children leave home due to work, starting a family, etc., they are often faced with isolation in the event of a critical situation. Although living in a large house, but feel empty, inevitably less a trace of human feelings. And for the average college student who goes abroad to study, rent is an unaffordable expense. This kind of intergenerational cohabitation can just solve the demands of both parties. The elderly provide free accommodation for the college students, while the college students do some housework for the elderly as much as they can. The young people will also be able to recognize and take care of the old people when they have health problems. The two generations, who are strangers to each other, live under the same roof under such a win-win exchange of conditions. ? Of course, there are bound to be disharmonies in this kind of intergenerational cohabitation where the age gap is not small. For example, the difference in the pace of life between the two generations and the generation gap in knowledge and information. In order to solve these problems, it is necessary for both parties to respect each other and be patient. The emergence of this kind of intergenerational cohabitation can help empty nesters not to be isolated and forgotten by society, and slow down the aging process. For young people studying abroad, it is also a good way to practice filial piety and save money. ? 2、Germany："Partners living under the same roof" ? The cohabitation model of "partnering for old age" is very popular in Germany. This kind of cohabitation is not a couple in the sense of cohabitation, but only means in the "same room *** with life", the number of cohabitation is not limited to two people. These old people often in the living habits, retirement mode reached a **** knowledge, but also due to the **** the same interests gathered together. "Let's live together" has become a popular phrase among the elderly in Germany. Many of these "partners" choose to live together in a senior residence. They cook their own meals and only meet once a week at the weekend in the communal kitchen. But they do occasionally engage in group activities, such as traveling to nearby cities or going to the theater to hear a play. When someone is sick, the cohabitating friends also volunteer to take care of them. They are like independent yet close family members. In order to avoid the conflicts that arise from "partnering", they will make a cohabitation rule in advance. They agree on their own duties and responsibilities, such as cleaning and tidying the house. In addition, each person should also respect each other's private space. And this kind of cohabitation is not limited to people of the same age. ? In some German cities, civil affairs bureaus and university service centers often introduce university students to live with elderly people, and university students are happy to accept this "new type of cohabitation". Some young at heart old people are happy to offer their houses to young people at low prices or free of charge, on the condition that the young people help to undertake shopping, cleaning and other tasks. ? 3, the United States: best friends are around, favorite people live across the street ? This kind of life reflected in the TV series "Love Apartment" in the show's popularity let many viewers envy and esteem. There are four couples in Texas, USA, who keep their loved ones close by while their best friends live across the street from them. I believe that everyone has envisioned their life in their old age, perhaps you have agreed with your friends to live in the same neighborhood in their old age, playing cards, drinking tea and square dancing together. And these four couples in the United States, originally is more than twenty years of good friends, in the children one after another to grow up independent and leave home, they bought a piece of abandoned grass near the lake together, at first, they want to build a large house that can accommodate four families to live together, taking into account the importance of personal space and privacy, and finally decided to make the place into four neighboring independent rooms. So they built four small houses along the lake and lived with their friends. These four families of "group retirement" not only make Americans "brainwave", but also many people are fascinated. Pictures from the Internet. The family's "group retirement" is not only an inspiration for Americans, but also for many people. However, we should note that it is the lack of elderly people that makes the elderly have to "group elderly", which is actually a helpless move. In the process of "group elderly", not all the benefits described in the report, there are also many problems to be solved. There are also a lot of problems to be solved. First, the lack of affection. The first is the lack of family love. In the traditional concept of the Chinese people, the happiest old age should be a few generations together, with the grandchildren, the late generation of the morning and evening visits. Although the modern pace of life and the reality of childlessness makes it difficult to satisfy such a wish, a few old pals can never replace the need for affection. Allowing children to have more time to visit the elderly and take care of their affectionate needs remains a top priority in old age. ? Second, it is difficult to support the seriously ill. The so-called "bedside manner" of the elderly is not the same as that of the elderly. As the saying goes, "there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time", even if it is the biological children, in the face of incapacitated parents are often anxious and tired. In the process of "group eldercare", if an elderly person is seriously ill and cannot take care of himself, only a few old men and women living together can't take care of the heavy responsibility. They have neither the ability nor the responsibility to do so. They have neither the ability nor the responsibility to do so. Therefore, now popular "group pension", perhaps in the elderly are still very healthy when we can help each other, take care of each other, *** with the row? Solve the loneliness, do the old people have fun, but really to the key moment of old age and the most need of affection, or can not do anything. Obviously, we can not put all our hopes on the "group pension", but also need to pay more responsibility for the family, society. If we think of the "group elderly" is too perfect, once encountered the reality of the difficulties, it is likely to be caught unprepared. I don't envy group retirement. I don't envy the old age group, and I don't want to be in this kind of old age when I grow old.
