With the rapid improvement of the country's economy, the lives of the elderly with pensions have been guaranteed and they are bathing in the dividends of reform and opening up. Travel to various places to see the beautiful scenery, enjoy life and eat delicious food. Wherever there is beautiful scenery, there will be their laughter and laughter; scratching their heads, taking beautiful photos, and dancing "square dance" are the basic colors of their lives. . Sometimes they also take care of their grandchildren, take them to school, cook and do housework, and enjoy family happiness.
In rural areas, with the reform and opening up of rural areas to solve the problem of food and clothing, the state has given elderly people over 60 years old a pension of more than 100 yuan, and their lives are not bad. Their children go out to work, while the old people stay at home, taking good care of the "one-third of an acre of land", taking care of their grandchildren's clothing, food, housing and transportation, and taking them to and from school as their own responsibility.
The city is attractive with its image of superior life, luxuriant flowers, lush greenery and busy traffic. The rapid pace of urban construction in the past ten years has caused countless civilians to bow down. Tens of thousands of young and middle-aged people from rural areas flocked to the city like crucian carp crossing the river to pan for gold, giving full play to the power of "the eight immortals crossing the sea, each showing his magical powers".
After years of hard work and development, they have gradually improved. They live well in villas, drive luxury cars, take their wives and children, and bring their parents to live in the city, enjoying the comfort and happiness brought by material things.
Old people who come to the city contribute to the development of the city, shine and replenish the urban labor force. Old people who are healthy and strong do physical work, such as digging trenches, carrying, pulling, and transporting goods. His (her) figure often wanders in the streets, alleys, and construction sites. Those who are in poor physical condition can work as sanitation workers, or do jobs that are not physically strenuous. In addition, he sells vegetables, works as a hawker, and collects scraps to make up for the household expenses. The elderly have become an indispensable labor force in cities.
In the countryside, except for holidays, "people are everywhere at sunset, and young people are rarely seen." Every time the old people in the town take the opportunity to go out on the street, they gather together, and their presence fills the corners of the town.

The elderly are like oil lamps, making silent contributions to their family, their children and grandchildren, and society, and burning out the last drop of oil.
Being kind to the elderly is an ancient motto left behind by China's thousand-year civilization, which should be practiced and cherished.
What the old people see today reflects who they will be tomorrow.
