The 95-year-old man playing mahjong keeps his head awake, and the retired children are taking turns to play with them every day.


The old man who lives in the Mingdemen Community in the southern suburbs is 95 years old. A few years ago, the elderly had a sudden cerebral infarction, leaving behind the sequelae, sometimes confused. But as soon as you look at the mahjong, the old man will immediately become clear-minded. In order to make the old man feel happy, several children have come up with a good idea. Every day, I will accompany my father to play mahjong. So, every day from 3 to 5 pm, several children will come to the old man in rain or shine and play with him for two hours of mahjong.

The old man loves to play mahjong before he retires, but he does not have to fight every day. In 2019, the old man suddenly had a cerebral infarction and fell into a sequela. He can only sit in a wheelchair now, and sometimes he is confused. But the children found that as long as a dozen mahjong, the old man will immediately feel up, and the dice will be a little bit. I can immediately figure out where to touch the cards, and when playing mahjong, the family talks and laughs, the old man is very happy. "This is a good way to exercise and think. Otherwise, the condition will become more and more serious. You must let him play mahjong every day." In this way, the sons and daughters of the old man set the rules for playing mahjong every day.

The old man has 4 daughters and 1 son. The eldest daughter is 70 years old, and the rest of the sisters are more than 60. The old man often lives in the little daughter's house in Mingdemen Community. The second daughter who lives near is like a "going to work" every day. Every day, she goes to her sister's house. She and her sister and brother-in-law accompany the father to play mahjong, from 3 to 5 pm. Play for two hours on time to collect. 365 days a year, the wind and rain are unimpeded. Sometimes there is something that can't come, and you have to "get off the leave" one day in advance. Ms. Peng, the granddaughter of the old man, said: "My aunt is basically not absent from the beginning of the year, and occasionally goes out for 'a vacation' for a few days. At this time, my grandfather will recite, and when she returns, why not return."

Ms. Peng said that her grandfather was particularly amused. Aunt had something to go out a few days ago. She couldn’t accompany her grandmother to play mahjong. “On that day, my grandfather always felt uncomfortable and languid. I couldn’t help myself. At 11:30, I was forced to let my dad and My mother played with him for three hours of mahjong, and then I went to sleep peacefully."

The old man still lives in his son's house for a few months of the year. His son's family is far away. The daughters used to be inconvenient, but in order to make the old father happy, the son and daughter-in-law who have passed the year of the flower will also let go of the matter. I will accompany the old man every day to play three mahjong. Ms. Peng said that the father must play the mahjong with a bet, one or two standards, or else it would be boring. The old people at the table are not only clear-minded, but also the skills of killing a lot of children.

"In fact, sometimes it is very tired, but when I think about my father's happiness, I feel that this is a 'task' that must be completed." The old lady's daughter, Ms. Yan, said that playing cards with her old father is her sweetest burden.
