I recommend Old Man Ding's Endowment to you. This realistic novel told the story of an old man learning how to get along with his children. The plot was full of touching and warm feelings. It also highlighted the image of the old man and made people feel how important family harmony, mutual understanding, and health and happiness were. This book was not long and was suitable for the elderly. For the elderly, its story theme and emotional handling were very close to life and easy to understand and accept.

I recall an old gentleman who got a new tablet but was completely lost on how to use it. I sat with him and showed him the basic functions like how to unlock it and open apps. He was so excited when he could finally play simple games on it.

Old people like to listen to stories, so I'll tell some classic stories to them. One of the stories was a plot from 'Dream of the Red Chamber'. The story was about Jia Baoyu, who was forced to leave his family and go to the Rong Mansion to play because of the decline of his family. He met Lin Daiyu there and developed feelings for her. However, Jia Baoyu's mother, Mrs. Wang, was not interested in Lin Daiyu and thought that Lin Daiyu was a sickly person who was not suitable to be Jia Baoyu's wife. In the end, Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu left the Rong Mansion to search for their own happiness. The old people might find this story very interesting and have a deeper understanding of the characters and plots in Dream of the Red Chamber. In addition, I can also tell the old people some other classic stories such as Journey to the West, Water Margins and so on. These stories were rich in cultural content so that the elderly could better understand Chinese history and culture.

I recommend Twenty Years Plus and Skeleton Years to you. "Twenty Years Plus" was about two netizens who finally met after twenty years. Their tearful reunion in the midst of the vicissitudes of life was very touching. "Skeleton Years" was a heart-warming story. Although the introduction was only 20 words, the warmth of love in it was still fresh in people's minds. I hope you like this fairy's recommendation. Muah ~😗

There were some differences between the elderly in China and the elderly in Europe and the United States in terms of the way they provided for the elderly and their cultural concepts. In China, the elderly were more inclined to live with their children and take care of each other, emphasizing family responsibilities and filial piety. They usually relied on their children for support and care, and they participated in family life and enjoyed close relationships with their grandchildren. In contrast, in European and American countries, the elderly were more inclined to live independently and take care of themselves. They paid attention to personal independence and self-actualization, and paid more attention to personal quality of life and freedom. They may choose to enjoy their old age in their own homes, or choose to live in senior apartments and nursing homes to get better living facilities and professional care. These differences were mainly due to different cultural backgrounds and social environments. In China, family responsibility and respect for the elderly were seen as important values, while in Europe and the United States, selfishness and independence were more valued. In addition, there were also differences in economic security. China's social pension insurance system and personal savings and investment channels were relatively incomplete, causing many elderly people to rely on their children's financial support. In general, the elderly in China paid more attention to family and filial piety, while the elderly in Europe and America paid more attention to personal independence and self-realization.
