Compulsory retirement and loss of economic role have a great effect on the aged. Being excluded from the mainstream of life, they feel lonely. Your neighbor is one of them. But your grandmother seems relatively young and vital at her seventy. Now you may play the role of the grandmother, with your partner being the “neighbor”, discuss your ideas about old age. Then switch the roles. The discussion can be based on the following aspects. 1) The new role of the aged after retirement 2) Cultivating new personal habit after retirement 3) Spending more time with family II. Regarding the role of the aged, some think that all that the aged is offered is a sick role — the role of the infirm person who is no longer useful to society, as ill health becomes more common with the advancing age; while others think that the aged should be offered a meaningful role and be regarded as the wisest members of the community as the elders in a traditional society would be.

Frankly speaking, I can’t be on their side. Though they may be physically old, they can still be mentally young. “We can’t do everything independently, but we are reluctant to let other people help us,” some old people think. It’s perhaps the real picture in their minds and helps explain why some old people feel depressed. I believe that there are many ways to solve the problem. Fundamentally, old people should try to regain a positive attitude towards life. They can join associations established for the old where they can enjoy themselves by playing chess, singing, dancing, chatting, etc. Hopefully, they will be more relaxed and delighted after having a pleasant time with their peers.
