Today, the average life expectancy of Japanese is about seventy-nine years for men and eighty-six for women.That is to say, you can still live for twenty years after retirement, but how to live well during this time is extremely important. The way of living in the last ten or twenty years of life is the key to determining whether a person lives a wonderful life.Because of this, when we live to about fifty years old, we must seriously consider the issue of how to live in the "post-fifties". Unfortunately, most Japanese people think that when they are old, they should behave like an old man - live a peaceful life and live in seclusion.Think of old age simply as withdrawal.

In fact, old age means that you can enjoy life as you like. When traveling to Europe and the United States, I often see many old but fashionable, chic and happy old people.The elderly in Japan should not show weakness. They should go out of the house and enjoy their free time. For this reason, we must first change the titles of old people that have been used to this day, such as old man, silver-haired and so on.Some people may disagree: the title has changed, but the essence remains the same.But that's the way it is - changing the title changes the mood.If you change yourself, the other person will naturally change with you.

Therefore, I want to shout loudly: Please call the people who have experienced a long life, tempered by years, and hidden light in the depths of their hearts-"Platinum Generation!" Although the platinum generation cannot be as dazzling and gorgeous as gold, it will not be as simple and unadorned as silver.The Platinum generation is not flashy on the outside, but flamboyant on the inside. What is the motto of the Platinum Generation?I thought of the oath of the Platinum Generation: We are not influenced by the world, full of curiosity, and pursue the love of life; we do not hesitate to praise others, do not forget to appreciate ourselves, elegant and free and easy is a bit "bad"!This is the starting point of life, and I want to take it as my motto.In a sense, this is a rebellion against the image of old people in the past. If it is just old age, this is something that everyone will do, but how boring it is.Instead of this, it is better to be a person who does not match your age.

This "age mismatch" is a key word in my other novel "So What", which uses a nursing home as the stage to describe the tragicomedy, love, sex and death of many elderly people in the world. If an eighty-year-old lady wears bright colors and a red dress, people may be ridiculed as "age inconsistency"; if a seventy-year-old man likes a young girl, his children or neighbors will interfere: "The age does not match, don't make a fuss about it." .” Think about it, who made the conclusion that "age does not match"?The answer is simple, it is secular.What the Japanese think is that as long as they save face, they can stay safe.Everyone is dressed plainly, so I should be plain too.If someone has passed away, whether to go to the vigil, whether to send a memorial ceremony, first look at what the people around you do, and then do it-the Japanese have long been accustomed to this horizontal way of thinking.

But, don't get me wrong, we don't live for the mothers-in-law and grandparents around us, we live for ourselves.If you blindly cater to the world, you will lose your individuality and yourself sooner or later.If you always care about other people's eyes, and you don't know who you are living for, then you die in vain, isn't it too boring to live! To live "age does not match", you must first free yourself from the shackles of age. Put aside the confinement of "you should..." when you are old, as long as you don't cause trouble after retirement, don't care what others think, and stick to your own path.

Not to be swayed by the world, full of curiosity, pursuing the love of life; not hesitating to praise others, not forgetting self-appreciation, being elegant and free and easy is a bit "bad" - let's praise the last glory of life, with this wish, I want to give "white hair" Clan" and the fifty-year-old positive and optimistic life of the reserve army, named "Platinum Life" If you want to eulogize the "platinum life", you must first understand the era we live in—now we have ushered in an era of major changes in various social relationships such as work, marriage, and men and women.

In the Middle Ages, modern times, and before World War II, Japan was basically a society of men, and the vertical social relationship created by the idea that men were superior to women lasted for a long time. more and more independent.In different industries and fields, women's suggestions and ideas have the "right to speak".It can even be said that now is the transition period from a male society to a female society. In this environment of social change, the way of love and value orientation of men and women are also changing.It can be said that men, especially middle-aged and elderly men, are the most perplexed by this change.

The terrible thing is that men are quite lacking in the ability to adapt to changes in the environment.Although men are mostly enthusiastic before accomplishing big things.But once you're done, you tend to be content with the status quo and stick to the old ways.He was even self-willed and became a thorough conservatism and authoritarianism. In contrast, women's ideas and perspectives are quite different from men's.In a nutshell, it is both docile and innovative. Why do you say this way?The reason is that a woman's physiology will undergo several changes in her life, and a so-called revolution will take place in her body.

Specifically, first of all, when I was in my teens, I ushered in the "menarche" and experienced the "first revolution" in panic.Next is pregnancy and childbirth, experiencing tremendous changes in the body that men can't even imagine.During the menstrual period of monthly visits, a woman's physiological phenomenon is tossing back and forth like a storm and a sunny day, and finally until amenorrhea, the turbulent revolution has calmed down.In this way, the human body itself is full of changes, and every time it brings vibrations to the inner world, it is a matter of course that ideas and thinking are good at adapting.

Look at a man, from birth to death, his physiology is like a uniform northwestern wind, with only a difference in strength and not much dramatic change. The physical characteristics of not being hit by typhoons or earthquakes like this determine the format of thinking.Although it is an advantage to have a fixed mindset, but when everything becomes a stereotyped "this time it will be fine", men start to sharpen their heads to gain social status and play with experience, and naturally become conservative.Compared with men who are like extinct volcanoes, women are active volcanoes. What's more, today's social relations and organizational structures are mostly formulated by men, and breaking these will inevitably lead to resistance from men.For women, it is not formulated by women anyway. They are neither attached nor relied on, and they can unscrupulously break the rules to adapt to the changes of the times.

Huge social changes will inevitably lead to unclear social division of labor between men and women and diversification of values.For this reason, this flexibility must be taken into account by both men and women. Therefore, I would like to appeal to all the men of the "Platinum Generation": Get up, don't be complacent about the status quo, be content with the situation, and adapt to the changes of the times.No, sometimes you have to lead the trend, realize self-transformation, be willing to challenge, and enjoy the challenge.
