Goodbye Li Chuan, is it also goodbye?

After breakfast the next morning, Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu came to a very old neighborhood in Shanghai.The roads inside the block are very narrow, and it is very difficult for two passing cars to pass by.

On both sides of the block are old Shanghai-style houses, most of which are blue-gray, a bit like Danqing ink.Although the road is narrow, there are many people.The house is small, but most of the people living in it are from several generations.

Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu walked inside slowly.Li Chuan carefully observed the design styles of these houses.The houses here are completely different from the architectural styles in Zurich, and also different from those gorgeous high-rise buildings in Shanghai.These houses have a sense of age, as if each house has its own story, which is the accumulation of time and the baptism of years.Although these houses looked a little old, Li Chuan could feel a strong sense of human kindness from inside.

Li Chuan likes this kind of building with a sense of age, and it exudes a cultural atmosphere everywhere.Compared with those tall, gorgeous, but somewhat cold designs, Li Chuan's designs are more intended to reflect a cultural mood, a spirit of inheritance.

Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu are immersed in the artistic conception of ancient buildings.Suddenly, an electric car appeared on the opposite side, riding very fast, which was very dangerous on the narrow road.Li Chuan reacted quickly, and immediately turned sideways to protect Xiao Qiu inside.The car brushed against Li Chuan's back and passed with a "swish".

Xiaoqiu was terrified, and stood on the side of the road and shouted: "The road is so narrow, and you are riding so fast, how dangerous it is!"

Li Chuan helped Fu Xiaoqiu's shoulders, and said, "Forget it, it's fine."

Xiaoqiu immediately checked Li Chuan's body, and asked, "Li Chuan, how is it? Did you hit him?"

Li Chuan shook his head and said, "No, I'm fine."

"Ouch!" A voice came from behind.Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu looked back and found that an old gentleman's electric bike had been knocked down just now, and his things were scattered all over the place, and the rider ran away without even stopping.

Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu hurried over to help the old man up.Xiaoqiu asked the old man, "Are you all right?"

Li Chuan picked up the things that fell on the ground and returned them to the old man.

Thank you very much Mr.Li Chuan saw that the old man's arm was bruised, so he asked, "Mr., where do you live? Let's take you home!"

"It's right in front, thank you so much," said the old man, pointing to the house in front.

Li Chuan helped the old man carry things, Xiao Qiu supported the old man, and walked all the way to the end of the alley, where there was a Chinese medicine clinic on the corner.The old gentleman opened a small courtyard next to it. The courtyard was covered with blue bricks and was cleaned very cleanly.

The old man said to Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu: "This is my house, come in and sit down! Young people."

Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu walked into the courtyard. Out of the professional sensitivity of architects, Li Chuan carefully observed the small courtyard.The architectural style of the small courtyard is very elegant.Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu followed the old man into the house. The furniture in the house was all Chinese style, and some of the furniture looked like antiques.The old man took out the medicine box, and Xiao Qiu helped the old man treat the wound.

Looking at the furnishings in the house, Li Chuan blurted out, "I like this house very much."

The old man smiled and said, "What's so good about such an old house."

Li Chuan said: "The design of this house is very homely."

"Old man, he is an architect, the older the house, the more he likes it." Xiao Qiu said beside him.

The old man liked Li Chuan's directness very much, and said with a smile: "Haha, I like this young man's personality, and he doesn't talk around circles. My surname is Gong, and you are welcome to come and play at any time. Anyway, I live in the house by myself, and it will be lively when you come. , became popular."

Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu felt that they were destined to be with the old man, so they happily agreed.So, the two sat down and chatted with the old gentleman.

Only then did Li Chuan and Xiao Qiu observe carefully. The old man was probably over 70 years old.He is not very tall, neither fat nor thin, with kind eyes, bright eyes, shiny skin, and gray hair.Although she is a little older, she doesn't look old at all.

Li Chuan asked: "Mister, do you live alone?"

Mr. Gong nodded and said, "Yes! My wife and I were two people, and we had no children. Later, my wife passed away, and I was the only one left. However, I still have a nephew who often visits me."

Li Chuan continued to ask: "You are getting older, you live alone, and no one takes care of you. Why don't you go to a nursing home? There are professional nursing staff there."

The old man asked Li Chuan: "Young man, you are not from the local area, are you?"

Li Chuan shook his head and replied: "No. I grew up in Zurich, but I like Chinese culture very much. My grandfather asked us to speak Chinese since we were young."

The old man smiled and said: "It's no wonder you don't understand. The Chinese tradition for thousands of years is to stay at home and stay with family members and children. Even if the relatives are gone, there is still a family atmosphere at home and a familiar feeling. , is better than dying alone in a strange environment.”

The old man was a little sad when he said this.Li Chuan understands the old man's thoughts very well. Since his illness these years, his family has been by his side to support him, which is the biggest motivation for him to survive.But in today's rapid economic development, young people have gone out to work, left their hometowns, and came to strange cities or even strange countries.There are more and more elderly people living alone. These elderly people must be taken care of, so community-based elderly care is the trend.

Li Chuan suddenly realized that in China, community-based elderly care is not just a simple place to take care of the elderly, but also a change in the thinking of elderly care for thousands of years, which is a long and complicated process.Li Chuan carefully understood the old man's words, coming out today really gave Li Chuan a baptism of thought, before he thought the design of this JV project was a bit simple.

Xiao Qiu and Li Chuan sat at the old man's house for a while, then said goodbye and left.

After leaving the courtyard, Xiaoqiu asked Li Chuan, "Li Chuan, are you tired?"

Li Chuan replied: "Not tired yet, let's go for a walk!"

"Okay!" Xiaoqiu took Li Chuan's arm, and the two visited several communities and chatted with the old people.The old people have the same thoughts as Mr. Gong. They feel that the nursing home is strange, cold and desolate, without the warmth of home, and only those who have been abandoned by their children go there.They would rather be empty nesters at home than live there.
