After his mother died, his son took his father all over the country and gave up all his future. What happened?

In May 2020, Mr. Bai, a netizen, lost his mother. He was worried that his father would not be able to get over the grief of losing his wife, so he took his father around China clockwise, hoping that the great mountains and rivers of the motherland would heal the pain in his heart. Now the father and son have been on the road for more than 65,438+050 days.

Mr. Bai said that during this 150 day, he talked to his father more times than in the past 18 combined, and his father was as happy as a pupil when playing. So he decided to give the rest of his life to his father and travel around the world with him again!

Some people may say that Mr. Bai's behavior is not worth it. What should he do in his later years in order to give up his job with his father? Will you regret having no money in the future?

In fact, whether it is worth it or not depends on the parties themselves. He feels that his father and himself are very happy, which is worth it. In other words, I have been making money all my life, and I have no time to accompany my parents. Is it worthwhile for them to spend their old age alone? Mr. Bai's father is very unfortunate. He lost his wife who accompanied him for half his life in the twilight of his life, but he was also lucky because he had a good son.

Relevant research data show that as of 20 18, the number of elderly people over 60 in China has exceeded 200 million, of which empty nesters account for more than 50%. There are many reasons for empty nests. Some of them have no children, no wives, and some have children but are rejected by them. They live alone, some children work outside, and have the opportunity to go home during the New Year, but loneliness is the same.

The living conditions of these empty nesters are very bad. They seldom communicate with others and have no chance to think. As a result, their brains are blunted, and the possibility of developing Alzheimer's disease is much higher than that of those elderly people with harmonious families and children under their knees. 55.7% empty nesters have been injured, which is nothing for young people, but it is very painful for the elderly. Sometimes they don't even have the ability to get up by themselves. If they are not discovered by others, they may fall once and lose their lives completely.

This is very painful for the elderly, but it is actually very helpless for some young people. It's not that they don't want to be around their parents, but that their careers and families are built in big cities. Children also need to work in big cities and want to take their parents to live in big cities, but they are worried about the contradiction between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and that their parents can't adapt to city life, and both sides are in trouble.

There are too many examples of children who want to raise but are not with their relatives. Li, a 93-year-old farmer from Lijiang, raised six children, who should have enjoyed their family, but the children were too busy with their families to take care of him and kicked him around as a ball. But Li took them to court. The court considered the case special and decided to speed up the case. As a result, Li died without waiting for the verdict. Six children cried on the spot and regretted not taking good care of their father.

People always don't care about what they already have, and they regret it when they lose it, but what's the use? They regretted it again, and Li's life could not come back. They didn't do their duty to take care of their parents, and let their father, who was over eighty years old, go to court with them before he died. This fact can't be changed in any case.

Some people always think that when I get rich, I will build a big house for my parents and make them proud in front of the villagers. I will take my parents to travel and eat delicacies. I will buy silks and satins for my parents and let them put on their best clothes. As a result, I struggled for half my life and finally got rich, but my parents were gone and I couldn't enjoy it. But do parents really need these? What they need may be just a phone call every day, holiday greetings and occasional reunion.

Life is long and short, and we never know which comes first, tomorrow or accident. Only by doing what can be done well can we leave no regrets. This is especially true in the matter of filial piety to parents. Don't think about what you can do when you have money, think about what you can do now, and then act immediately. If you are filial to your parents one day earlier, you will be less likely to leave regrets.
