Xinhua network Shandong channel 20 (reporter Wang Zhi) "children, although the child, but the life will continue." For the five old Kang Hongkui and Liu Guiqing two years old, the Spring Festival this year is the third spring festival that they spend alone. Three years ago, their only child who had been studying at Zhejiang University, died of illness early, and the old two became the "lost families" who lost their only child. Although the pain of bereavement is hard to forget, what Kang Hongkui most wants to do now is to take care of his wife's body and stick to the hope of life in pain.
19 day, the reporter came to the special family in Ji'nan Lixia District dianliu community. The old two house is two room, the house area is not large, but the wall is white, the window is clear, the room is clean, the only difference is the lack of some vitality at home.
"Spring Festival is the day of family reunion, but at this time, our old two hearts are particularly uncomfortable, especially thinking of their sons." Kang Hongkui said. When talking to reporters, the two old men still had a bitter smile, but still could not conceal the sadness in their hearts. Reporters saw that his wife Liu Guiqing's hair had already been sparse and pale.
the only child who passed away has become the pain of two old people's hearts. Soon after, Liu Guiqing discovered cancer.
"the biggest difficulty at the moment is the need to spend money on your spouse." Kang Hongkui told reporters that he had been laid off for many years with his old partner, and that he spent only 1480 yuan a month on his wife's pension, and he made some odd jobs to earn money to keep it. At present, the old man needs chemotherapy and radiotherapy to control the disease. Only last year, the treatment cost spent more than 40 yuan. In order to raise money and cure the disease, they had to sell the house for demolition compensation.
but the double blow did not destroy this unhappy family. "Thanks to the concern and help of the streets, the neighborhood committees have come to chat with us for a long time to comfort us." Liu Guiqing said thankfully.
"though the child is gone, life can go on." During the interview, Kang Hongkui spoke to reporters about this for several times. What he is most looking forward to is his wife's early recovery. But because of the increasing age of the two people, Kang Hongkui was in a daze.
Guo Zhongzhen said that after the Spring Festival, Meiliu Street office will integrate the resources of the family planning, civil affairs, labor insurance, social workers and community health services to establish the "five in one" family lost support system for the elderly, to provide elderly care, day care, full care and home care services for the elderly, from material and spiritual life. The only group is caring.
now, there are 9 workers in the community. They will visit each family 2-3 times a week, provide no less than 20 hours of household service each month, integrate professional social workers and volunteer resources, strengthen the spiritual care of the elderly and let the elderly live more security and dignity.
"helping old people who lose their independence" requires the participation of the government and all sectors of society. It is hoped that the relevant departments can further improve the proportion of medical insurance reimbursement for patients with serious illness, and reduce the burden of seeing the sick elderly. At the same time, all sectors of society should give more care to families who have lost their independence, so that families who lose their independence can shine more sunlight and rekindle their hopes for life.
