Faced with rapid population aging: Liang Fengyi and Xu Zhicheng share the silver-colored happiness mind method, and teach 3 steps of high happiness

The third, fourth, fifth and seventh eras are coming soon! Taiwan's population is aging at a rate that breaks the world's Jin family records. From the perspective of the population of the National Development Association, it will be that every three children will have to nourish an elderly person, 40% of the elderly have no daughters, 50% have no children, and 70% of the population live in cities. In fact, the ability, experience and wisdom of the Orange Generation are indispensable assets in society. How to face the joyful life has become a compulsory course for contemporary times. Liang Fengyi and Xu Zhicheng, who are promoting the establishment of the National Institute of Health Research and Health and Welfare Research Center, and share their silver happiness mentality.

Liang Qiyi is the president of the National Institute of Hygiene. He is 70 years old. At a young age, he obtained a doctorate in stating statistic in the United States. In 1986, he designed a broad evaluation formula with his colleague Scott Zeger, who can be used in schizophrenia and diabetes research. Later, at the strong invitation of former President Wu Chengwen, he gave up his favorable treatment in the United States. Liang Fengyi was in love with Taiwan's land and returned to Taiwan to pay his best ability.

During the epidemic, in addition to the busy business of the National Hospital, Liang Fengyi also assumed the leadership of the Research and Development Group of the Central Epidemic Indicator Center, and was silently busy behind the scenes. In addition to the long-term epidemic trend estimate and international negotiations on vaccine purchases, he also actively prepared the construction of the domestic Vaccine Second Factory.

Cherish interaction with family and maintain the emotional temperature of three generations

However, talking about the various outstanding academic experiences is not as good as Liang Fengyi's eyebrow dancing when he talks about the beauty of the Sun. Liang Fengyi said that in the past few years, I have not been able to fly to the United States to visit the children every year, and I feel a little disappointed. "Children's growth is not waiting for anyone. We can say hello and chat with children every week." He said that his use of Chinese videos as much as possible will not only maintain the emotional temperature of three generations, but also keep the children interested in Chinese.

In addition to hoping that the epidemic will slowly relax, Liang Qianyi and his wife, who are passionate, also flew to New York last month to attend the wedding of their second sons, and returned to Taiwan after giving blessings to the newlyweds. "We think no matter what, we must attend. It is a witness and a blessing to us."

There are fewer opportunities to visit friends during the epidemic, and many elderly people cannot feel lonely. Liang Fengyi said, "It makes people feel that you care about them, and you can also feel their concern. It is not necessary to be by your side all day long. It is the most important thing to care about each other and support each other."

Social participation in self-realization and enhance happiness

"Sustaining social links" sounds very skillful, and it happens to be Xu Zhicheng, executive director of the Center for Advanced Medicine and Health and Welfare Research at the National Institute of Health and Health and Welfare Research. On weekdays, he can move to Taipei, Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Yunlin, and conduct family life, work as a doctor, do research, and establish high-age centers. Although Xu Zhicheng is not a "legal elderly man", he is planning his future silver hair life. Every month he goes to school with his classmates at university to climb mountains and ride a single car.

Some of my classmates love photography, so I have to work as a photographer; some students also have fun working as a carpenter after retirement, and often share wood work in community software and enjoy the praise of their classmates. Xu Zhicheng said that by increasing social connections, the sense of happiness will be improved, and life in the elderly will be more interesting and exciting.

Xu Zhicheng said that the word "happiness" is actually very abstract, not exactly the same as what we usually say. It includes positive emotions, devoted life, and intentional life, that is, "positive emotions", "life satisfaction", and "self-value reality"; and the factors that affect positive emotions include four aspects: personal, family, human beings, and society.

Time to ask Help older people get out of the trough of emotional

Xu Zhicheng pointed out that from the health care database, about 4% of the elderly are diagnosed with depression, but this is just the tip of the iceberg. From the past visits and studies, less than 30% of the 100 elderly people have truly sought medical assistance, and only 10% have received complete depression treatment.

Xu Zhicheng said that the reasons for high aging are incorrect. Taiwan's elders are very serious. Some people live alone in the elderly and are uninteresting in their lives, which leads to the suicide rate of the elders often tops the list of all ages. In particular, the epidemic has caused a major impact on the elders' social life, which has made it even worse.

In the epidemic, everyone is isolated into an isolated island. How can we warm each other's emotions? Xu Zhicheng suggested that he would pick up the phone now, call his children, call his parents, and wait for a lot of questions, have you eaten? Be careful when walking on rainy days? Have the cats in the house been fed? The weather has changed. Are you wearing warm clothes? If you don’t greet each other for a specific purpose, your mood will naturally become brighter when you ask.

Don't retire with a cliff. Relax or be busy to find a balance.

Because the post of the National Dean will be removed from the end of the year, a friend of Liang Fengyi, who is both a teacher and a friend, specially shared his story with him.

This friend is now over 80 years old. His father has been busy with work. After retirement, his whole body has been relieved quickly and has become a life without focus, and he died shortly afterwards. So when this friend was about to retire, he went the other way, making himself busy and taught everywhere, but unexpectedly he suddenly became popular, which was a pity.

Liang Fengyi suggested not to retire in a cliff-like manner, but to seek balance from the middle. Don't let yourself relax suddenly, and don't be too busy. "I'm already at the age of my wish, but I still believe that I can continue to pay for the society. ”

Three steps toward high happiness

1. Maintain satisfaction in life and family harmony

Don’t pursue wealth and fame and fortune too much, be grateful, keep your duties, and be content with happiness. The richness of the mind is far more important than the richness of the material. Cherish the time you spend with your family. Even if you are busy, you must maintain good interaction and communication, accompany each other and share happily.

2. Maintaining enthusiasm and self-affirmation in learning

Life is constantly learning, and getting to the higher level is no exception. Always have the desire to seek knowledge, maintain a high degree of interest in unknown things, constantly gain knowledge, fulfill oneself, and then satisfy one's own sense of accomplishment and achieve self-affirmation.

3. International relations and social participation in

Modern society is composed of complex and tangible international relations. To strengthen the friendly relationship between people, we should not only pay attention to family and family relationships, but also participate in activities of community or volunteerism to fulfill our spiritual abundance. In addition, working with young friends more and listening to their views on things can also keep our mood young and energetic forever.
