"Life is no longer confused, but it will get lost"

Every year, many elderly people in Fukui, Japan gather together at a specific time to participate in an event called "Silver Hair Sichuan".

At the event, the elderly will use the form of "Sichuan Liu" to describe their true elderly life in a self -deprecating tone. ("Sichuan Liu" is a form of poetry arranged in the order of 5, 7, 5, and is also 17 syllables as "俳 俳", but it is not so strict.

Like the daily life with my wife:

"I wanted to confirm love before

And now just want to confirm

Do you still breathe when you fall asleep? "

Erotication of physical condition:

"This heartbeat

Put in love before

Putting it now is sick "

The open -minded mentality of "death":

"pity

Passport to heaven

Not sold to the outside world "

They read their proud works at the conference, and they also felt the same with the works of others, nodded in recognition.

In the annual works, Chuanliu's works with the theme of yourself and his wife's life are very large:

"Diabetes cannot eat eel

Wife said that

Eat all by yourself "

"The order of bathing at home

Wife First

My last "

"The couple are older

Can only turn the earth

Read your own travel dream "

In these works, there are humorous vomiting and strong love.

"Old, when you are in love and kissing

Dental fighting "

"Wife said

‘After that world

Be a friend '""

"You two feelings are so good

No matter

I just pull my wife as a stick "

"Two people chatting the wrong channel

Obviously the donkey's head is not right

Still very happy ""

"Wife and me

Unconscious

Demon and monster "

Under the dull life of day after day, it is the tacit understanding and dependence of grandparents who accompany them for a lifetime.

NHK once interviewed a grandfather who lived in Aikawa Liu, Fukushima Prefecture. Most of his works were related to his wife, but never thought of it because he always felt difficult.

"Fruit Life" stills

With the encouragement of the show group, Grandpa finally gathered the courage to read a newly written Chuanliu:

"Even if you are Alzheimer's

The wife will never lose it "

The wife on the side couldn't help crying, crying and saying, "He usually never says this to me ..."

If you are difficult to say in daily life, the old people can finally express it through Sichuan Liu.

In addition to the life with his wife, the aging and forgetfulness of the body are still the key topic of the old people's "spitting":

"Only three teeth

Swipe out soon "

"Regardless of spring, summer, autumn and winter

Ears

You can always hear the cicada "

(Note: a symptom of tinnitus)

"Find things every day

Exercise your brain "

"Before going out for a walk

Save my clothes

Hear the dogs who can find things "

"Life is no longer confused

But get lost "

"Alzheimer's wife

When calling me

The name of the dog "

"Wife

You know I am now

What are you looking for? "

"I have discussed with my family

Prevent the secret number of fraud phone calls

I forgot it "

"It's so delicious

But what did I eat just now

Why can't I remember it? "

Why are these old people so keen to write Chuanliu?

A grandmother who has already written more than 400 articles replied: "Writing these can make my mood better. I feel that I laughed more and more."

For many elderly people who are missing around, writing Chuanliu is a rare opportunity to express emotions.

And even in the face of loneliness, aging, and death, the old people can always show rare and open -minded topics.

"Want to live a hundred years old

But it seems

Not enough budget "

"Think about getting up every morning

Now

Is it in the world or in the yin "

"Say it is a picture

But it's better than a scissors "

"Even if you can live a hundred years old

Will be more than deposit

Stay in the morning "

"Longevity is lucky

Still unfortunate

I'm in the test "

Behind the age, the elderly still maintain a young and cheerful heart. Looking at them, I suddenly felt that it was not so terrible to get old.

"Stealing the grandson's candy

Can't say export

Lai Lai Cat "

"Grandpa and grandma

Which one do you like

We ask the dog "

"Repeated blood pressure

Until the value

Ask yourself "

"Because it is too lonely

So I talked to the phone scam for a long time "

"while eating

I and the cat's tableware

"

At the "Silver Hair Sichuan Liu" event two years ago, a 106 -year -old grandma wrote a very cute Chuanliu:

"I thought I became a child

This dementia

So cute"

From these Sichuan willows, we can see the different perspectives of the old people looking at the trivial matters. They seem to be the paragraph hidden in life:

"I'm going to send pensions again

I'm thinking

Will there be a year -end award "

"When you are young, sleep in the library

Now there is always insomnia

Really newspaper "

"No matter how many times I ask

Nothing will be angry

Only Siri "

"Combination of elderly spots and wrinkles

It looks like

Orion constellation "

"As long as you take a walk with a cuffs

Can become a patrol "

"Three blood pressure

Finally measured

"The result you are satisfied with"

"The weather changes

No need to watch TV

Knee prophets "

Although the creator is around the elderly, there are some new perspectives in the submitted works. Some young people also published Sichuan Liu's works depicting their parents or grandparents.

"On the day of the outbound examination

Mom righteous words

Let me cheer her up "

"The dog squats behind

Wait for grandma to eat the rice grains sprinkled out "

"Grandpa is now

Pens

Extend your life line "

"To the denture of the mothers who can't enter

Father always

Study "

"grandfather

Tell me today

first meet"

There are also some Chuanliu, from the perspective of the elderly to depict the "generation gap" between the two and three generations:

"Asked by great -grandson

Have you ever seen dinosaurs "

"When using ipad

Habitual licking his fingers and slipping

Sun Tzu is very angry ""

"What is self -timer '

Does the new fly shoot?

I ask my grandson "

"smart phone

What new roast chicken

Dad ask me "

"This is what I bought on Amazon

Sun Tzu said

When do you go to the Yama Sun Yulin? "

Note: "Amazon" and "Amazon" are the same as Japanese pronunciation

Many elderly people interviewed said that they had little communication with their younger generations. Writing such things like Chuanliu has become one of the way they express their emotions and mood.

From these Sichuan willows, have you also seen the shadow of the elders in your family?

Find more time and opportunities to chat with them, even if it is usually the chores of life. Or, come to read a few interesting poems for them?

The verses and illustration materials quoted in this article are taken from "Silver Hair Sichuanow". Since 2001, the Japanese Public Welfare Association National Nursing Home Association has held a Sichuan -Liu solicitation event every year. So far, more than 200,000 works have been collected. "Silver Hair Chuanliu" was carefully selected from more than 200,000 submissions, and was equipped with a warm illustration of Japanese illustrator Kugoko, which spanned the age and generation gap, and told the life story of the elderly with a humorous and humorous tone.

The Chinese version of "Silver Hair Sichuan Liu" has been released on Lens
