Have you ever thought about what your life will be like if you live to be a hundred years old?
Japanese grandmother Tetsuyo Ishii lived to be 102 years old, but she never "lyed down". She weeds, practices, writes letters of thanks every day, rides a "da-da-da" tricycle to visit graves, and insists on keeping a diary for three years.
She also said: "I want to make a hoe that won't rust."
This book records her daily life from the age of 100 to 102 - no preaching, only life; no chicken soup, only gentle truth.
She taught us that suffering is also a taste, that being alone can be very lively, and that growing old is not giving up, but continuing to shine.
She told us through her actions: "Life is for you. No matter how old you are, you are worthy of gratitude today."
In this era when even young people feel tired, Grandma Tetsudai brings us another answer:
No anxiety, no internal friction, no rush to win, and no fear of being slow. As long as we don't get rusty, we are still on the road to shining.
If you are going through the "desensitization period" in life, this book is an old friend who will whisper to you: "It doesn't matter, try again tomorrow."
