Don't be afraid to enjoy sunset red near dusk

2015 is definitely an unforgettable year for our family and mother. As a result of long-term care for his sick father, his mother exhausted herself, dragging his sick body, and his sister, accompanied and cared for his dying father for a moment. Due to serious physical overdraft, after sending away his father, his mother also fell ill, rheumatism, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and so on. Hands can not move, legs can not lift, waist can not bend, dizziness, life can not take care of themselves, all rely on sister's careful care.

In the first year of the disease, the mother was hospitalized many times and frequently transferred to hospital: Xinjian County People's Hospital, County Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Jiangxi Province Tuberculosis Hospital. However, the treatment had little effect. It was under such circumstances that her mother was not depressed. With some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, she decisively terminated her stay in the hospital and returned home to recuperate on her own. First of all, he resolutely abandoned the troubles and pains in his life journey and maintained a positive attitude. In my mother's own words: I want to enjoy the sunset beautiful, dilute the sadness of dusk.

Back home from the hospital, mother on the one hand self-search for relevant medical books symptomatic medicine, calm recuperation; on the other hand, with the help of sister, active exercise, self-massage. Sure enough, the disease bowed its head in front of his mother's iron will. The situation gradually improved. Every time I came home, I saw my mother's obvious change for the better. The body gradually recovered its vitality, especially when I read my mother's essay: "Simply say that the sunset is infinitely good," my mood could not be calm for a long time. The long-lost familiar font is elegant, neat and vigorous, and the strokes reveal the power and wisdom of life. You can't believe it's the work of an octogenarian who couldn't move his limbs two years ago.

When I read my mother's essay of nearly two thousand words, it is not difficult to understand the mystery of what forces contributed to the emergence of this miracle. It turned out that he relied on two magic weapons: one is reading, the other is singing. My mother wrote in her essay: My life trajectory is clear, ordinary and simple. Young children study, adult teaching, old physical strength is poor, idle bored, and had to book company. In short, this life is tied to books, especially like reading novels. At present, I am reading the book of Mo Yan, a contemporary great writer in China. Twenty of his works have been published and distributed. Since the second half of last year, I have read six books and written more than 80,000 words of reading notes.

Accompanying me for thousands of years there are red songs. Young love music, like singing, red revolutionary songs sang a lot, but did not remember a complete one. And now the old song comes out and Ben sings again. At present, out of books, can also sing more than 50 songs. Reading books and singing songs are wonderful ways to exercise the body. They can broaden your vision, pleasure your body and mind, and have the effect of prolonging life. I haven't been to the hospital in the last two years. My joints are much more flexible than they were during my illness. I used to ask the part-time worker to help me out for a walk. Now they can act independently, and the old people often make fewer mistakes.

When it comes to reading and singing, I have to say my mother's past. When she was young, she was a top student who could sing and dance. After graduating from Linjiang Middle School, she was sent to Nanchang Normal School with the first place in her class. After graduation, the top students were assigned to primary schools as teachers. They taught Chinese, mathematics and music and physical arts. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted to be the principal of primary school in the third year of his work, and then transferred to several central primary school principals. Later transferred to middle school, and was reused, served as a class teacher, grade group leader, peach and plum all over the world.

Because of her musical talent and good voice, she was featured in all kinds of literary and artistic activities carried out by the school. After retirement, the district education system will ask her for guidance in elderly literary and artistic activities. Now in the face of illness, the specialties and hobbies of those years have been picked up again, not only resisting diseases, but also enriching old age life.

In addition to the two hobbies that support the mother's life building, there is also the companionship and growth of children. It gave him great comfort and happiness! Mother in the essay, talking about children's future, joy and pride of the mood jumped on paper. Two sons and one daughter, both of whom have achieved fame, mother noble son virtuous, when the elders naturally have glory. Especially when it comes to my sister, my mother has endless love and emotion. He is a great hero of our family, a filial daughter of our parents, and a strong woman in her career! She started working at the age of twelve and lived independently. The first in the county troupe, and then transferred to the county library, during which self-study and further university library courses. He served as director of the library and later transferred to the new district cultural bureau. She is a legendary, extraordinary woman.

Mother not only knows the secret of enjoying sunset glow, but also difficult and valuable things. He was also mentally prepared to face the setting sun and the approaching dusk calmly. Yang Jiang, a female writer and translator, and Zhou Yongguang, a Chinese scholar and father of Chinese Pinyin, are highly respected. Determined to follow their example, to do life work learning more than. Devote all one's life energy to national rejuvenation and national progress. Seriously young, gracefully old. Treat old age with a calm and positive attitude.

Mother never asked her children to turn around herself. When she was seriously ill, she did what she could. My sister often complained that her mother was disobedient. Every time. Mother always said with a smile; can do something, but also to exercise muscles and bones, do not get in the way. My sister was retained after retirement. She usually went to work and went to Nanchang City for further study on Sunday. She joined the new district retreat choir. My mother was full of encouragement. Sometimes participate in competitions, go abroad, go out to exchange performances, visit a few weeks, sister worried, mother always comfort her: relax, I will take care of myself.

Many times in my conversations with my mother, I mentioned that I was out of town and could not fulfill my filial piety by his side. As the eldest son, I felt very guilty and said that I would take more time to see her. She always comforted me: here is your sister and brother to take care of, you can rest assured to take care of their own home. It's not easy for you to have three generations and six children. You run your own house well is the best filial piety to me. Mother so affectionately sympathize with younger generation let us feel very warm, we brothers and sisters agree that mother is our life guide, spiritual model!

I would like to quote the last paragraph of my mother's essay as the conclusion of this article: Now the Party and the government have formulated a series of policies to effectively protect the rights and interests of the elderly, so that we have a sense of security, support and happiness for the elderly. In such a happy era, we should cherish the good times of the present more. Eliminate fear of death. Bravely outstretched arms. A warm embrace of the sunset. Happy every day.
