The Senior Citizens Association in My Mind Yang Jiqun What is the Feini Chinese Senior Citizens Association? I often ask myself, is it home? Is it a place where friends gather? Is it an old man's club? I think it should be, but not entirely. In my mind, it is a place full of fun, where you can make friends, and can help you solve the problems you face when you first arrive in the United States. Therefore, it is a group that abides by regulations, is full of kindness and humanity, and makes the elderly happy and stable in life. Senior Citizens The staff of the Senior Citizen Association and the Senior Citizen Center give 100% love to help everyone who encounters difficulties. They will spread their sense of responsibility for work and love for elderly friends to everyone. Everyone likes the Senior Citizen Association and the Senior Citizen Center with such a group of staff, loves it, and relies on it. The Chinese Senior Citizens Association gathers a group of elderly people over 60 years old every day. More than 98% of them (her) are descendants of the Yanhuang people, sons and daughters of China. Some are compatriots who have lived in the United States for a long time, and more are new immigrants. They come from different countries and different regions, but they have a common characteristic, that is, their children can be called "elites." Everyone in the Senior Citizens Association jokingly calls "we are all elite moms and dads." The children of these old people work diligently in various positions and in various professions in the United States. Among them are judges, lawyers, teachers, catering industry personnel, doctors, and engineers. ． ． ． ． etc. In front of this large number of busy working children, they are all faced with a very real problem, that is, the living arrangements for their elderly parents. Their parents have been confined in the big house for a long time, without contact with the outside world, and their lives are boring. No matter how big the house is, no matter how exquisite the furnishings are, they cannot replace the spiritual sustenance and affection of their parents. Some old people came up with the idea of returning to China soon after arriving. I myself had such an experience. I wanted to go back to the mainland, and I wanted to go back to Beijing. At this time, an accidental encounter made me know that there was a Chinese Senior Citizens Association in Fengcheng, so I continued to stay in the United States. It has been seventeen years now. The thing is like this, we are The most annoying thing at that time was that I didn’t have medical insurance. I was very worried. One morning, I took a walk to the lake not far from my home. An old man came towards us. He greeted us in pure Mandarin. After we got to know each other, we found out that he was Mr. Wang Kuopu, the former English Secretary of the Senior Citizens Association. When he learned that we had been locked at home all day, he was extremely bored. At that time, he suggested that we go to the Senior Citizens Association. The next day we went to the Chinese Senior Citizens Center, a place where Chinese people gather. When we entered the door, we saw a happy scene here. Some were playing mahjong, some playing table tennis, chess, computers, dancing, singing, doing fitness exercises, and doing exquisite handicrafts. ． ． ． ． Wait, people are doing various activities according to their different hobbies. What attracts me most is the sound of English speaking in the classroom. I see George T. Gao, who teaches English class. Cole is teaching English loudly. While explaining, he makes various postures, sometimes points forward with his fingers, sometimes kicks with his feet, sometimes loudly, sometimes whispers, and dances. His teaching is filled with entertainment. His humorous, lively and lively teaching methods enable the students (elderly people) to learn in a happy atmosphere. I went to English and saw all this. I was so happy that I said to my wife, "If there is such a place, should we go back to Beijing?" Instead of going, we met the director of the Senior Citizen Center, Ms. Pei Xiayun, and the manager, Ms. Huang Shulian. They gave us more help. Thanks to Director Pei's guidance, we solved the problem of medical insurance. They also introduced us to live in an apartment for the elderly, and we had our own stable life. Our children also settled down and felt relieved about us. The whole family was very grateful to the Senior Citizen Association. From then on, I often went to the Senior Citizen Center, where I made many new friends. There I was able to receive a lot of care from the government. There, I passed the U.S. citizenship test through careful teaching by English teachers. There, I integrated into a group of many kind-hearted elderly people and gained friendship and love. There, I worked as a volunteer and used my spare energy. I felt great pleasure and comfort in being able to do something for everyone. Today, the Senior Citizen Association is moving forward at a new pace. It is building a "happy senior citizen culture." Mr. Cui Zengqi, chairman of the Senior Citizen Association, proposed: Let the elderly friends "smile often, be polite to others, unite and help each other, and be charitable to the public", so as to achieve the goal of "everyone cares about the Senior Citizen Association, works together to develop the Senior Citizen Association, and turns the Senior Citizen Association into a happy family." I am so lucky to be able to go to such a place where my spirit can be relaxed and my mood can be happy in my seventies. Senior friends, come to the Senior Citizens Center! I believe you will be "smiling and having fun"! !
