People who love life can still live their lives even when they are 80 or 90 years old.
Today's young people seem to be afraid of aging. They feel that they have entered the early stage of aging when they are 30 years old. The post-90s generation has already fallen in love with the health-preserving life of soaking wolfberry in a thermos cup before they are 30 years old.
Uncle Cheng sometimes watches Douyin. Those hard-core grandparents live more freely and actively than us. Watching them seems to make him believe in the beauty of life again.
The 98-year-old Chengdu grandma became a Douyin celebrity because of her love of drinking Coke and eating hot pot.
Nearly a hundred years old, she doesn't maintain a good health. She talks humorously and her favorite thing is to play with the Rubik's Cube.
It was just a simple record of daily life, but it suddenly attracted nearly 4 million fans.
Many people said that this old man who dared to try things and was full of curiosity about life even into his old age made them feel positive.
The 91-year-old American grandmother was on Weibo's hot search list not because of her longevity, but because she broke the world record for her age group in the 400-meter dash in a competition.
With her neat and vigorous pace, you can't tell that she is a "post-90s" person, and she only started real running training last year.
The day before yesterday, Mr. Yuan Longping was on the hot search again because it was his 90th birthday.
He said that what he was most happy about this birthday was that the wish he made on his 80th birthday to produce 1,000 kilograms per mu came true ahead of schedule.
These old people have lived for nearly a century. In their later years, some of them lived happily, some looked for new challenges, and some dedicated their entire lives to their careers.
No matter which way, their lives are full of flavor and exude their own brilliance.
Just like that Taiwanese grandma Lin Zhuangyue, she is 91 years old, but she suddenly became popular and became an Instagram celebrity with 100,000 fans.
She is not an artist, but she has shot commercials. She is not a writer, but she has written a book. She said that she didn't find her true self until she was 88 years old.
And looking at her and them, one might even feel that aging is not so scary.
Fans on Instagram will call Lin Zhuang Yueli the Moonlight Fairy, and those who are more affectionate will call her Yueyue.
She likes to share her outfits on Instagram. Sunglasses and headscarves are standard fashion accessories. Collecting sunglasses is her hobby.
Every time she goes out on the street, Yueyue will be carefully matched, and her whole body is covered with trendy brands. Puma and Adidas are all her favorites.
But she is not a fake trend follower. She also has items that she admires for lesser-known local fashion brands. She is a fashion icon with her own style.
Seeing this trendy grandma who even goes to the hospital for a physical examination, it’s hard to imagine that she was actually an ordinary old lady.
This is a photo of her when she was in her 60s. It can be seen that her financial situation is good, but she is wearing a professional suit and is not as cool as she is now with short hair.
It was not until she was 88 years old that her children and grandchildren no longer needed her care, and she completely let herself go, bravely doing things that she wanted to do but did not dare to do before, and wearing clothes that other elderly people did not dare to wear.
She feels that she has never truly "grown up" until now.
Lin Zhuangyueli said that when he was young, he failed to make the choice he wanted most, but got married on a blind date.
Of course, this also has advantages: a stable life for a lifetime, and a family full of children and grandchildren. But deep down there is always some unspeakable regret.
Her husband passed away 10 years ago. At that time, the two had already been together for decades. Lin Zhuang was not used to being suddenly left alone in the world;
But time is good medicine. Slowly, she learned to be alone, and she could live comfortably alone.
Moreover, she learned to seize the moment and began to dream bravely.
She does not have the mentality that life has reached its twilight years. Instead, she wants to live a brighter life at this stage of her life than she did when she was young.
She began to learn to edit videos and strive to become the oldest video blogger. When I'm tired of editing, I still have fun in the process, "I thought this computer had automatic special effects flashing around, but it turns out it's my presbyopia and floaters."
She will share interesting things in her life on Instagram and introduce her 101-year-old best friend. “Every time I chat with her, I laugh until my double chin appears, which is annoying.”
Ordinary grocery shopping was also said to be particularly interesting. "I always wear this suit when I go to the wet market to collect protection fees. The fruit shop owner paid two mangoes today, and the pork stall owner paid a piece of three-layer pork."
She shares various outfits on Instagram, and has lively discussions with her fans. The outfits will change according to her mood, weather, and occasion.
But Uncle Cheng felt that the reason why Lin Zhuang Yueli was so popular was not only because of this, but also because she often spoke wise words that inspired people. This was the wisdom accumulated over time.
For example, some people complain that they feel like they don’t have what they want and that their life is a failure.
She comforted that only those who leave this world have nothing. As long as you are alive, you have a free life and can experience everything in life. No matter the ups and downs, it will eventually become beautiful memories.
Lin Zhuangyue has passed her 91st birthday. Although she takes small and slow steps, she dares to take that step to challenge her comfort zone and is not willing to be an old man waiting to wither.
As she said on her birthday, life is like cutting a cake. Even if the cream will get everywhere, the cutting posture should still be confident and handsome.
And this has nothing to do with age.
And even if you don’t have a goal you want to strive for for the time being, you should always remain curious. After all, life is about working hard and doing whatever you want.
88-year-old Axia does not have the same drive as Lin Zhuangyueli. She is just an ordinary grandmother who is not in good health and lives with her granddaughter.
But she also lived her later life happily and interestingly.
In the words of young people, Axia is a fat nerd.
Like young girls, she can't resist the temptation of desserts, but she can't help but have to weigh herself. She has to take off her coat and pants before weighing herself. This may be a unique obsession of girls. When weighing herself, , the less stuff you have on you, the better.
Sun Tzu: Why do you have to take off your pants to measure your weight?
Axia: Because these pants are very heavy.
Sun Tzu: You weigh 61 kilograms.
Axia: Yeah, I lost weight!
She would be unhappy if her hair was not cut properly. She told the barber that she wanted to have long hair, but the barber cut her hair short instead. She didn't say anything in the shop, but she started sulking when she got home.
She secretly complained that I had no hair on my back, and they cut me like a boy.
Axia has her own worries and her own little happiness.
For example, when friends from elementary school come to visit, they didn’t have much opportunity to take photos before, but now they can take photos together.
A good friend will take out a small comb from his bag to help Axia tidy up her hair. It’s really nice to have a good friend to grow old with.
Her granddaughter takes her on a trip every year, and she makes new friends during the trip. The two of them take funny photos together, just like children.
Taking photos holding hands from behind is a compulsory course for Internet celebrities. After hearing this, Axia also clamored to learn it.
She would also make a scared expression when taking photos in front of the statue.
Seeing Axia who is so happy anytime and anywhere, people who follow her seem to be in a better mood.
The granddaughter who is a cartoonist not only posted these online, but also made a homemade emoticon package for Axia, which became very popular.
Axia, who is 88 years old this year, seems to be telling us that even an ordinary life can always be happy and beautiful.
Time is really magical. When I was 27, I thought I was old, but when I turned 88, I felt I was still young.
Perhaps at this age, people can truly live loneliness into freedom and life into poetry.
