How long will you spend with your parents? Have you calculated?
How long will you spend with your parents? Have you calculated?
My parents are now 60 years old. If we can live to be 100 years old and not be around, we will go home to accompany our parents for 7 days every Spring Festival and spend 10 hours a day face-to-face (provided we don't get up until the afternoon, don't attend classmates'parties, and don't be kidnapped by mobile TV), we still have 2800 hours, that is 116 days.
Yes, that's when we can still talk face to face with our parents. It seems to be 40 years, but in fact it is only 4 months.
But when we were young, they never thought about whether they spent too much time on us and forgot to live themselves.
When we slowly leave our parents'hands and learn to walk shakily for the first time, they have bent over and hobbled us at least 1,200 times.
When we finally learned to cross the road by ourselves, they had helped us withstand more than 900 dangers.
Drugs, scissors, matches and boiled water bottles are all out of our reach. They nagged at least 700 times in order to avoid accidents in life.
When we are taught to ride a bicycle, the hand holding the back seat of the bicycle is always reluctant to let go. To teach us new skills, they accompanied us more than 600 times.
When we finally leave our homeland to study and work farther away, they give up, but hope that we are independent and strong. So they looked back at us again and again and sent us on a long journey, at least 15 times.
...
It is the heart that parents can never let go that enables us to have a "quiet" childhood, adolescence, and now a smooth adulthood.
But when we grow up, how much effort do we pour into our parents?
In the new year, we may have built a lot of flags.——
Fitness three times a week
Go to bed early and get up early every day
Read at least two books a month
Eat a healthy diet without supper
Learn a new skill
...
Maybe someone else secretly decided to talk more with parents who were not around each week. However, the final result is that the goal has been achieved, but the main reason is that parents can pinch us not to work overtime, not busy at work, call us or send video chat.
Every time we talk, even after taking the blood pressure pills and wearing the ointment for low back pain, they still pretend to say "Everything is OK at home" to us, while our white lies of reporting good news and no worries are always cracked by parents. Worries and advice are constantly coming from the other side of the phone.
Even in order to keep up with the rhythm of communication with us, parents learned to use smartphones from relatives and friends, and began to use the Internet and Wechat.
However, in this new and unfamiliar Internet world for them, there are a lot of risks for middle-aged and elderly groups.——
In the pursuit of health, they have become victims and amplifiers of pseudo-scientific rumors. They may be bombarded by the sweet words of "health care" fraudulent gangs. They may be delayed by high-priced health products and rehabilitation devices that have no practical effect.
In order to maintain and increase the value of their pensions, they may be surrounded by cyber scams of "investing and financing" and "purchasing original shares".
Middle-aged and old netizens, including parents, are becoming the main victims of network fraud, rumors and harmful information. Think about how much time we spent when we were young, helping us avoid risks, teaching us to be self-reliant, worrying about and caring for our parents for more than a decade, and growing up for them?
Our companionship and help to our parents is far from their companionship and care for us.
It's time for us to help our elderly parents withstand the risks of life! Teach parents to surf the Internet safely, not only let them master more anti-cheating skills, but also spend more time understanding them and accompanying them.
After all, the time we can spend with them is just a few days or dozens of days a year, caring about their health and safety, and taking them to understand the convenience and risks of the Internet can be another way for us to accompany and feed them.
So, this Spring Festival, tell parents how to distinguish deception, rumors, harmful information, tell them how to use all kinds of applications on mobile phones safely, over and over again, tirelessly, as they did to us when they were young...
When you grow up
What have they done for their parents?
