The Lonely Life of Aged People

As is shown in the above thought-provoking picture: an old grandpa sits in front of a mirror, looking at “himself ” in the mirror and saying to himself, “I feel lonely when my son is at work and my grandson studies in school.”

Apparently, this cartoon can be naturally associated with the signif-icance of family’ s company for old parents: if we intend to make our elderly parents enjoy happiness, it is advisable to spend more time with them. In modem society, young people have become busier with their work. Therefore , an increasing number of youngsters find it hard to spare time to accompany their lonely parents. However, they may not know that company enables aged parents to build up adequate enthusiasm for life. As a matter of fact, young people in large numbers have not come to realize the loneliness of aged parents.

As a young man, I am convinced that it is of great necessity for us to accompany aged parents, no matter how busy we are. Accordingly, we should advocate and encourage our acquaintances to love, respect and care for all elderly people.
