Fang Xiaozhi was born in a poor mountain village, his parents raised him with hard work, and then went from high school to university, which can be said to have paid a lot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoBecause their family has no other surplus property except for a few acres of thin fields, the living expenses, tuition and miscellaneous expenses during the study period are all exchanged for those mountain goods and wild mushrooms that his parents dig from the mountains every time they take the risk, bit by bit, all embody his parents' love and expectations for him.

After he graduated, he found a stable job with a high salary in the big city, saved money and bought a house, and immediately took his parents over to make them happy.

But the parents, who have stayed in the countryside all their lives and have never been out of the county or town, obviously do not adapt to the living habits of the big city, are out of the familiar environment, and have no one they know, they can only stay in the house, and they can't go anywhere.

He had no choice but to send his parents back.

In addition to getting married and taking children, he has never found any excuse to take his parents over, so he can only hide the regret in his heart, and try his best to find time to go back to meet his parents when he is not nervous about work.

But as he gradually reaches middle age, his children are almost growing up, and he is about to enter society, and the opportunities and challenges he faces begin to become more, Fang Xiaozhi has little time and energy to go back, but the guilt for his parents is accumulating more and more.

The city is not as good as the countryside, the living and medical conditions are undoubtedly much better, as long as you can stay, life expectancy and health obviously have more security. What's more, the two elders are already so old, close to seventy years old, it is impossible to leave them so far away from their hometown for the rest of the time, right?

If he can't do it and he can't rush back in time, it will definitely become the most regrettable thing in the second half of his life.

Therefore, how to be filial in front of his parents has become the most worrying thing for Fang Xiaozhi now.

Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been in a dilemma.

It's not that he hasn't thought of other ways, such as buying a house and land in the suburbs, hiring a nanny to take care of it, and even sending it to a nearby nursing home, which may be a spinestorm.

However, the education level of the two elders is not high, and their hobbies are different from most people, so it is difficult to communicate. Even his own child was brought to the age of five, so he handed over the follow-up training to the child's mother. It is really difficult to let the two elders have something to do, to be able to stay in the city and enjoy the happiness without feeling at a loss.

However, the appearance of Kangkang gave hope to people like Fang Xiaozhi who could not find a channel for filial piety.

Work is the capital to settle down in the city, and most people can't easily leave this behind to take care of their families and feelings more, but with the help of intelligent robots, many people suddenly find that this headache seems to have been solved.

There is no need to worry that the older generation will feel lonely and bored, and most people are actually more inclined to take children than to have pets to relieve boredom, at least to be able to communicate this point is all over. At present, many of the forced marriage tragedies encountered by many older men and women are due to this reason, lacking sustenance and companionship, and unable to integrate into the lives of their children, so they can only rely on raising the next generation to talk about comfort.

More importantly, there is no need to worry about them not being able to take care of them due to their old age and infirmity, and they will not be able to take care of them at all, intelligent robots are obviously more obedient and more secure than energetic children, not only can they take care of the elderly in turn, but also can contact them at any time through it, and pay attention to the physical and mental health of the older generation.

Coincidentally, Ying Ning, who has changed from an education channel to a social news reporter, is doing a topic program about the lonely and widowed elderly in nursing homes.

China is the country with the largest elderly population in the world and the most special aging situation, and the explosive growth of the population in the early days and the implementation of the family planning policy in the next 30 years have put the domestic population structure in a relatively embarrassing situation -- the inverted pyramid model that is wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, and with the development of time, the aging population will show an increasingly violent development trend. In addition to affecting the number of people of working age and slowing down the speed of economic development, it is more about the grim situation caused by the pension, which has become one of the most prominent contradictions in today's society, especially the question of how to support the elderly who are lonely and widowed.

"Dean Meng, can you tell us about the current situation of the elderly in your nursing home?"

In the picture, Ying Ning appeared in front of a large nursing home, and in front of the microphone was the person in charge of the nursing home, who was being interviewed by her.

"No problem, reporter." The middle-aged man known as Dean Meng nodded and said, "There are a total of 2,359 elderly people in our nursing home, and half of them are separated from their children and cannot afford to take care of them, so they were sent to the nursing home. The remaining two-thirds are due to various problems in living habits, or not suitable for getting along with their children, or feeling rejected and bored, so they move to a nursing home, hoping to find a suitable living environment here. As for the last third, they are basically elderly people who have lost their independence, their children have died early for various reasons, and there is no way to continue to live alone. ”

"It seems that the situation is very serious, more than half of them are empty old people, and the most terrifying thing is that there are one-sixth of the old people who have lost their independence, why is there such a proportion, Dean Meng?" Ying Ning frowned and asked, although she had learned some information before she came, she didn't expect the situation to be so serious.

"This aspect is mainly due to the rapid economic development in the last 20 years, resulting in large-scale renovation and construction in the city, so that the rural areas near the town began to be centralized into the city for management, coupled with up to hundreds of millions of rural population to the urban population after the formation of migration flows, a large number of children due to work, study, marriage and other reasons and the elderly separated, so that they have to live alone, according to the first national intelligent pension strategy seminar in 12 years, The empty elderly population in China accounts for almost half of the total elderly population, and this proportion will exceed 70% in the future, and by 2050, the number of elderly people without children at the end of life will reach a terrifying scale of 79 million, if this is the population of a country, it can rank among the top 20 in the world. ”

Dean Meng said with a sigh, the worry in his eyes almost condensed into substance.

On Ying Ning's side, after listening to Dean Meng's explanation, his mouth was already wide open, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It's really an incomparably terrifying number, how many people are needed to support and take care of it, almost more than one percent of the world's population!" ”
