Both movies are about the lives of the elderly, and the heroines in both movies are single, without husbands, who either died young or were divorced. The only exception to their elderly single life, are more lonely heart, due to old age and physical decline, easy to get sick, and their children, although living together in one place, but due to economic problems often have to earn money outside, can not often go home and family life in a fast, the other one is and daughter niece living in a fast, but this old man character is more forceful, talk is always exuding negative energy, so that is also disliked by her The other one is living with her daughter's niece.
With reference to the current social situation in China, I think the single life of the elderly in China's big cities is still quite rich, because the big cities that the elderly over 60 years of age within the city bus travel is free of charge, there are a variety of what is the University of the Elderly, public welfare activities, square dance and what is aimed at the elderly group, appearing to be a variety of colorful activities to teach the elderly to dance, singing, and even chess, painting, and so on, make the elderly people's lives easier. The first time I saw this, I was able to see a lot of people who had been in the same room for a long time, and I was able to see a lot of them.
There is also a new generation of young people's concepts, they also accept the elderly, can marry their favorite men and women, or live with their favorite men and women. Nowadays, the economic life is all about each to their own, we are all financially independent, so the marriage of the elderly, cohabitation on the young people do not have much influence on each other.
It seems that China is becoming more and more open and closer to the Western concept of economic independence, which encourages older people to socialize more.
China's current social conditions are getting better and more tolerant of single life for older people. But I think the elderly, in addition, still need to take the initiative to socialize, such as making a few close girlfriends or companions, even if they do not find her or his beloved, and girlfriends or companions with similar interests to live in a piece or in a piece of the old age, is also not lost a thing of joy!
