The definition of retirement: refers to social workers who leave their jobs in accordance with the law and regulations after reaching the legal age, length of service and other conditions, and enjoy pension benefits and rights in the nature of social insurance and labor compensation. Retirement is not only a personal behavior, but also a social system and social behavior. Retirement, to put it bluntly, means you can stop working and start enjoying your retirement life. Of course, this only applies to cities. In the vast rural areas, there are still hundreds of millions of elderly people who do not have retirement benefits, so we will not ignore it here.
So what does retirement mean? Different people have different answers.
Person A said: Retirement means that you can no longer work, but you have to devote yourself to taking care of your grandchildren. That means being laid off first and then taking up the job. The old cow will not die, and the work will continue. Of course, there are those who take the initiative and are willing to take care of their grandchildren, thinking it is a kind of family happiness, and there are also those who are passive and unwilling but unable to help take care of their grandchildren.
Person B said: Retirement means that you can do your own work freely. When you are able, you can give full play to your knowledge, talents and skills, and continue to engage in teaching, medicine, law, academic research, etc., and of course you will receive a well-deserved reward. These are people who are still in good health and unable to stay idle, but this does not exclude people who are forced to work again due to lack of ability in their children.
Person C said: Retirement means that you can enrich your interests and hobbies. Such as traveling, doing photography, practicing calligraphy, writing novels, singing, dancing, even playing mahjong, etc.
Ding said: Retirement means that some things must be done urgently. When I was in power, I was really stupid for not making arrangements for the lives of my children and relatives. While the tea was still a little hot, I stepped up my walking and communication, got things done that needed to be done, and maintained my connection with power even when I was old. Of course, these words can only be said in one's own stomach, or only done without saying them.
Wu said: Retirement means getting old, getting sick a lot, and walking on the road to death.
…
If you retire, what do you think it will mean?
But the reality is that after retirement, most people shoulder the heavy responsibility of raising their grandchildren, working hard and spending money, and no one knows where their time has gone. When their grandchildren grow up more than ten years later, they will But he was suffering from illness and was ready to walk with death.
Now it is allowed to have three children again. If you have one child after another, and one more child, how can you spend your old age peacefully?
I think, sons and daughters, please work harder and take care of your children by yourself or work hard to earn money to hire someone to help take care of your children, so that retired parents can really take a breath, do what they love to do, and live in peace. May you have a healthy, happy and happy old age. If your parents are willing, they can give you some money, but you have to give your time back to your parents.
This is true filial piety! Doing this is a thousand times better than shedding a few tears and saying that our parents have worked hard for us all their lives, or holding a grand funeral for them.
We should abandon the thousands-year-old traditional practice of raising children. Our children should cultivate this concept, and our society should form such a trend. Only in this way can generations of people in their old age no longer be named as ancestors but actually as grandsons, and no longer be exhausted from working as cows and horses.
