Re: China's urban retirement: 79 years old alone, old school, cafeteria
the old man's old companion was originally a Taiwanese. Two people married in 1962 and had daughters and sons successively. After 1991, his wife returned to Taiwan to settle down, and her son and daughter went to Taiwan one after another. She did not follow, because she had no medical insurance. "I retired at that time. I was in poor health and I was always ill. What if I went there and got sick?" The old man said she did not dare to go. The two had no savings in her life. She was worried that she could not live. She began to live a man's life. The phone is the way she knows about life over there, and sometimes the children will come back to see her in the past year. She hasn't come back again. Even the retirement salary of her companion is remitted to him every three months. In July 2013, the news of the sick man came to Taiwan for the first time. She said thanks to her for her first time. Thank her for seeing him, and thanking her for sending him money so long. In December 2013, his wife died in Taiwan.
a pair of children, the old man is full of the words, she sometimes blame them not to go to Taiwan, but more often, she is in their heart, "son has no house, the daughter is now in Australia. Read, do not have their own house, I can not find them to live, where do I live? How much do I spend their money on my illness! " When children come back to see her, they can't come back at the right time, such as the Mid Autumn Festival. The old man would not like to mention how the festival went, "for me, there is no holiday birthday." She said that she was 80 years old. Her daughter had called to say that she could not come back. She wanted to help her to celebrate, and was rejected by the old man.
