Not long ago, a retired employee of a unit was found dead at home. The so-called "being discovered" is because it is not known when the old man died. The old man divorced in his early years and had no children. He has an adopted son who works far away in Fuzhou. He and his adopted son agreed to communicate once a week, but the old man didn't have any communication tools and could only get them through the government and the adopted son. This time, his adopted son didn't receive him within two weeks. He was upset and hurried back to find that he had been dead for many days.

This may be a special case. However, as far as society is concerned, the problem of caring for the elderly is by no means a personal problem. In recent years, with the rapid development of economy and society, people's living standards have generally improved, but there are also two noteworthy phenomena in the family. First, with the improvement of living conditions, there are fewer and fewer families in it runs in the family. Once children get married, even in a building, they don't want to share a room with the elderly, making the living atmosphere of the elderly an "empty nest"; Second, with the improvement of people's quality of life, the life expectancy of the elderly is getting longer and longer, and their health conditions are generally improved. People in their sixties and seventies are still "little brothers" and "little sisters". Ten-year-olds are not uncommon. Especially in rural areas, because children go out to work, "empty nest families" can be described as everywhere. There are two kinds of "empty nest families". One is that the old couple are healthy and can support each other, live alone and take care of each other; If there are only "half" left and there are no younger generations walking around, taking care of their lives will become a big problem. In case of an accident, the consequences will be unimaginable. Many elderly people die unexpectedly, often because of this situation.

Therefore, how to care for the lonely elderly is not only related to inheriting and carrying forward the fine tradition of respecting the elderly in China, but also an inevitable requirement for building a harmonious society. If the elderly are the weak body of society, then the lonely elderly are the last part of this weak body, and they especially need the care and warmth of society. However, due to various reasons, on the one hand, the social security mechanism seems to be imperfect, and on the other hand, the traditional family pension mechanism is weakening day by day. For the elderly who are lonely, neither side can rely on it, and life difficulties can be imagined. Therefore, I think it is necessary to take care of the lonely elderly as a social problem. It is said that all problems are trivial, power is used by the people, family ties are tied to the people, and interests are sought by the people. We can't always talk, do and take care of lonely old people. Maybe you can't do the "image project" or "achievement project", but doing it well is a real achievement, because "there is a pole between heaven and earth, which is extremely embarrassing." Therefore, Party committees at all levels should put the issue of caring for the widowed elderly on the agenda, establish an effective management and care mechanism through the strength of units and communities, and form multiple networks of units, neighborhoods, communities and volunteer organizations. So as to extend the caring feelings and warm tentacles to the lonely elderly to the maximum extent, and let them truly realize that living in the embrace of the motherland, lonely people are not alone, live old, and enjoy harmony.
