Yang Jiqun: Feelings in illness This is the second time I write "feelings in illness". "Disease clears the body" is a saying that people often say. When people get old, any disease will come to their door. The human body is like a machine. As the days and months go by, the wear and tear of the machine will become more and more. Repair it Here and there something went wrong again, and it was repaired again and again, until the day I went to see God. Recently, I had another operation due to arterial occlusion in both lower limbs. Two months after the operation, I had cataracts in both eyes. The United States has advanced medical skills and the operations went smoothly. It is just a pain for my family and my son-in-law keeps having this troublesome thing like me. The old woman went in and out of the hospital without any complaints, and her children and grandchildren kept visiting her home to ask for her welfare. The condolences during my illness made me feel warm, and the care of my neighbors made me feel the true love of the world. During the period of rest, I often looked back on the past years from today's later life. When I was a child, I played with my friends, played shuttlecock, skipped rope and played hide-and-seek. I was extremely happy. When I was young, I would go to the river to catch fish, touch shrimps, and play with colorful pebbles on the shore. I had endless fun. When I was a teenager, I was full of vitality, excitement, and dreamlike ideals and interests. I held a book full of romantic talents and talked about my past and ideals with my companions, weaving beautiful dreams one after another. I felt carefree and felt that the world was full of sunshine and colorful. Only after adulthood do we understand that in addition to ideals, aspirations and joys, life also shoulders responsibilities and obligations. Life is not always smooth sailing, and is full of hardships and unexpected difficulties. We have great responsibilities for our parents, siblings, and children. In addition to the daily busy work, we have to take care of all our relatives, which sometimes makes us breathless. In addition, political movements come one after another, which makes people confused and difficult to distinguish between right and wrong. The mental pressure is so great that you eat it. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, and it wasn't until the reform and opening up in the mainland that I breathed a sigh of relief. When my family immigrated to the United States, I was filled with emotion. From the beautiful environment with clear skies to the etiquette, service attitude, willingness to help others, volunteer dedication, etc., I admire everything. Especially the government's various care for immigrants, so that our elderly people with no income can live a life without worries about food and clothing. "The old age is provided for and supported" is reflected here. I am truly grateful. I am sincerely grateful, especially since I came to the United States. I have been hospitalized many times and had six surgeries, all of which were covered by medical insurance. If my children were to bear the burden, it would be bankrupt and difficult to support. Such treatment made me feel a sense of security living here from the bottom of my heart. I was constantly warmed by these thoughts and feelings during my illness. Of course, we Chinese, especially the elderly friends who do not understand the language, still have many difficulties in medical treatment, but it is not a difficult problem to solve after all. Most elderly people have children around them, and children have the responsibility and obligation to take their parents to medical treatment. Therefore, I still think that we are lucky to spend our later years here. Friends! Let us leave more time for ourselves to enjoy a free life with a peaceful mind, enjoy the family happiness that everyone will cherish, and spend our later years in peace! 2011.10.16 Phoenix City
