Re: old university burst out of the spirit of hunger and thirst because of loneliness and emptiness, reluctant to graduate.
"the most beautiful but the sunset red, warm and leisurely, the sunset is late flowers, the sunset is the old wine..." There are some elderly people who are very young though they are old. Age can not stop their desire for knowledge. Age is not an excuse for them to abandon their pursuit of enrichment. Age will not deprive them of their wonderful life. Just like the golden yellow left by the sunset on the lake, it is gorgeous and dazzling.
"learning made me get out of the valley of life"
in the computer class at the old university in Taiyuan, Shanxi, old man Li Junqing's silver white hair was very obvious. In 1995, she retired from a factory in Taiyuan, and her wife died in 1998. "The whole life fell to the valley." Li Junqing old man recalled that he was very depressed at that time, and the three daughters were married. They lived alone and were very lonely. "Every day I don't want to go out, I don't want to see people, sometimes I don't want to go out, but I feel like a cage at home. I even have bad ideas."
2000, her daughter reported to the University for the aged, and life changed from that time. Li Junqing began to learn singing and participated in the rainbow women's Choir. Slowly, her mood became bright. Learn new things, and know new friends. "At the very least, someone is thinking about you. If you do not come to class, you will be asked where you have gone."
later, the old man Li Junqing reported to the University for the elderly every year, and studied the courses offered here. "I've come to 'post doctoral'." The old man joked. Now for her, school is a top priority, and nothing can delay learning.
, however, for a 70 year old man, learning is not an easy task. For example, when learning computer typing, the old man will place a dictionary beside him, and consult the dictionary when he can't spell it. "After learning to use a computer, the field of vision is more open. International and domestic news can be seen from the Internet.
besides Internet, the old man has another interest in photography. "The camera I use now has been changed for three generations." The old man used a camera to record the changes of his 3 year old grandchild from his birth to the present stage. He made an electronic album, accompanied by word descriptions and music.
because photography, the old man liked traveling again. "I went to Sanya this Spring Festival, and I will go to Taiwan after a while." Li Junqing said she likes to see different kinds of scenery and feel different folk customs.
"now I am different from the past. Before retirement, they are relatively closed, busy with work in the unit, returning home and turning around their husbands and children. But now, I know more than young people. " Li Junqing old man said, in fact, this life is rough. In the young age, because of the bad composition of the family, the Cultural Revolution suffered many grievances. After his retirement, his wife died early, and he was seriously ill many times. "But it doesn't matter. The key is to have a healthy and optimistic heart. Learning makes me go out of the valley of life. "

And the 2011 performance in the Golden Hall of Vienna, Austria, still excited Qian Jihua: "it was a dream not to have a day in the golden hall."
Qian Jihua and her old partners dedicated a large song and dance called "Nantong good home" for the audience in the golden hall, using the unique elements of the Nantong River culture, fully showing the vivid Jiangfeng sea rhyme, and exerting the artistic charm of the Nantong characteristic blue print on the stage incisively and vividly. With this song and dance, they won the gold medal of the international middle and old age Arts Festival.
10 over the years, the troupe has performed more than 600 times at home and abroad, and has won 57 awards.
from the first five or six good sisters to more than 50 members of the present, the overseas Chinese art troupe has now become one of the most famous folk art groups in Nantong. With the support of his neighborhood, Qian Jihua also set up "Jihua culture studio".
today's members of the art troupe are all retired old men, with an average age of 65. "Don't look down on the learning ability of the old," Qian Jihua said. "Although some instruments that need a deep foundation are more difficult to control, they can learn to dance and dance quickly."
Nantong has the national intangible cultural heritage of blue print, whistle kite and so on. From the beginning, Qian Ji Hua recognized the cultural features of the art troupe. Their costumes, "blue and white charm", is a vivid blue print "fashion show".
2013, Nantong women's Federation started the women's volunteer service, the "little old man" volunteers aged 60 to the elderly "old man". I heard that the women's Federation had such a project, Qian Ji Hua was moved. "There is an old Chinese saying that old man and old man are old, we want to join the women's volunteer service project. With our efforts, more elderly people can really get the spiritual care." The members of the overseas Chinese Art Troupe have a new identity like this.
the desire to amuse himself when he retires to bring happiness to more elderly people today. Qian Ji Hua notes this change with love: "in fact, there is a lot of study and leisure time after the old people retire."
