Elderly people living alone = miserable old age? !
The 16 seniors interviewed by the author in "Elderly Living Alone" will break the world's prejudice with their leisurely and contented living conditions. Some of them have been single for a long time, some have experienced the ups and downs of life and have bid farewell to their close relatives and friends one by one, and some of their brothers, sisters and children are still alive somewhere. Although each of them is not very wealthy, they are all in a small house, immersed in the things they like - photography, dancing, painting, watching movies, riding motorcycles, performing performance art, singing on the streets...
There was no pressure, no interpersonal turmoil, and no anxiety about the future. It seemed like every day was going quite happily. They are a group of energetic young people, but they are just a little older. Dare to be an old man living alone, dare not to observe words and emotions, is also a STYLE suitable for today's increasingly aging society.
