College students consoled elderly people to leave the school

On the morning of the 12th, 24 post-90s students from the Civil Aviation University of China came to a nursing home in Jiangbei District of Chongqing to visit and care for the elderly and performed singing programs for the elderly. However, what made college students feel embarrassed was that the show was only half performed, but the old man continued to walk halfway. The old man who left said that singing had her headache. Afterwards, Mr. Wang, deputy secretary of the Youth League Committee of the Civil Aviation University who led the 90-year-old student who came to pay homage to the elderly, reluctantly admitted: “We really don’t know enough about the inner world of the old people. We will need to find a more appropriate way of sympathy for the older people in the future. satisfaction."

Opening "lose"

The host Chengdu speaks for the old man

It is understood that this group of students from the Civil Aviation University of China 90 after the summer vacation, Chongqing students in the recommendation, came to Chongqing to participate in social practice, care for the elderly and children.

At 10 o'clock in the morning on the 12th, in the activity room of the Silver Spring Geriatric Apartment in Tieshanping, Jiangbei District, about 30 elderly people sat there. The students were surrounded by old people.

At the beginning of the program, student host Huang Xie took the stage and picked up the microphone to tell the old people affectionately. Her old home was in Sichuan. Huang Xie said: “You should be able to understand me.”

However, the atmosphere at the scene became strange. Huang's strong Chengdu accent gave the old people a look of demureness, and Huang Xie became paralyzed on the stage. The reporter learned that most of the older people have a low level of education, plus they are older and have little contact with foreigners.

In desperation, Huang Shuo had to “switch” between Chengdu and Putonghua in the entire host program. The old people seemed to have no idea whether they were talking to Chengdu or to Putonghua. Wang Zhisen, deputy secretary of the school Youth League Committee, said that of the 24 college students who came to consolation of the elderly, more than half were from the southwestern region. Among them, Chongqing had 6 because of the boys from Chongqing, considering the lack of affinity. It was only for Sichuan girl Huang Lan to host the show.

Expert Comment: Huang Zhongmo, a professor at the College of Chinese Language and Literature, said that during the host of the program, the host found that if the other party in Chengdu didn’t understand, they should insist on speaking standard Mandarin or be accustomed to it. They can change one or add one to speak Chongqing. host.

The "destruction" of the program

The song is too hot for the elderly to have a headache

It is understood that the student's program is mainly singing. Because of the limited facilities of nursing homes, the sympathy delegation had to temporarily change some programs.

The first program that opened was chorus. After seeing that 24 students all went to the stage after the 90th, they sang a song called “Fulfilling the Country with Conviction”. The impassioned song really made young people excited. However, the old people did not seem to be interested and old people began to leave. After the song was sung, several student representatives took the stage and recited Mao Zedong's "Spring in the Garden of Snow." Although they read with relish, and the air seemed to condense, the old people looked around and did not know what the students were reading. And one after another, several elderly people left the field.

The reporter found the 81-year-old Zhang Bihua who left the scene first. Although Zhang’s mother said “The program is OK”, she sat in bed and rubbed her temples with her hands and told reporters that she was in poor health. “The song is too loud and noisy. I have a headache."

Expert Comment: Zheng Xiaoli, director of the office of Tieshanping Yinquan Senior Apartment, who has dealt with the elderly all the year round, said that the elderly people are older and are not suitable for listening to these heated songs. If you want to sing, it may be better for students to sing "Oriental Red," and it can also evoke the old memories of the old people. The "Guanyuan Spring Snow" is so elegant that the old people simply do not understand it. It is better to simply exchange comics and sketches.

The "failure" of interaction

The old man will not "drum the flowers"

At the scene, the reporter saw that the volunteers also brought the Tianjin specialty, the clay figurine, to the elderly. The old people pinched their hands and almost never looked at it. At the time of the show, the old people had already left half of the time. The volunteers sat in the middle of the old man and played the game of "drum flowering" together. However, during the game, after the drums stopped, "flower" was still in the hands of the first old man. With everyone's reminder, the old man began to pass without drums. After receiving the “flower” from her mother-in-law, the students clap their hands and hope that she will perform a program. However, everybody wastes their time and the mother-in-law still refuses.

In desperation, the host Huang Xie wanted to sing "Let's throw up the sculls" with her mother-in-law and the king-in-law would not, and she suddenly became a soloist for Huang Hao.

After the interactive game was over, the reporter asked Zhao Zuojun, 70 years old, why the old man had not passed the flowers. The old man shook his head and said: "Some people suddenly handed over a curtain (drum propaganda propaganda), and I absolutely do not know what to do."

Expert Comment: Zheng Xiaoli said that although the students' idea of ​​interacting with the elderly is very good, they did not explain it clearly to the old man. Therefore, the old man did not know what to do. For the royal mother who received the flowers, she had never performed a show. She was very shy. She immediately asked her to perform in front of everyone. It was really hard for her.

Unexpected "joy":

"Clap Song" allows the elderly to exercise

In the program, due to the appearance of a cold field on several occasions, the host Huang Bian had an inspiration and asked Jiang Hanqing, a more active classmate. Xiao Jiang would be able to speak good and simple conversations and let the old people follow him. He gently sang "Clap Song", gently clapping, raising his hand, breathing, stomping, these simple actions, the old people have followed together to do activities with muscles.

The reporter saw that after the show, the students sent watermelons to the elderly and cleaned up the old man's bedroom. As the students sat next to the old man and chatted with the old man, they all showed a bright smile on their faces.

Expert Comment: Zheng Xiaoli introduced that the nursing home has a total of 57 elderly people, with an average age of 80 or so, of whom 11 are widowed old people. Old people have very low education levels. There are very few entertainment methods at ordinary times. Some people come to see them and they are very happy. The good intentions of the students are indeed very rare. The programs that make the elderly happy are good programs. In the future, they can selectively select programs that are enjoyed by the elderly.

Behind the scenes

The teacher admitted to lacking

Let students sum up experience

Professor Wang, who led the group, admitted that the 90-year student sympathy did not succeed. The students rarely touched the elderly in nursing homes. Although they visited an elderly person in a nursing home on July 11, the elderly people in that nursing home were young and had a high level of education. When I arrived at this place, because of my lack of understanding, there were situations such as language barriers and cold games.

"After returning to school, we must let students sum up their experiences in order to find more appropriate ways of condolences in the future and to make older people more satisfied," said Wang.

Weapons

Old man afraid of being forgotten

Chat with them more

Zhang Zhongming, an education psychologist at Southwestern University, stated that the spirit of condolences and care for the elderly in the post-90s students is commendable. However, while passing on care for the elderly, it is necessary to fully understand the specific conditions of the elderly, such as their education level and age, and then perform some simple, popular and easy activities. Understanding and safe programs and interactive games. In fact, consoling the elderly does not necessarily have to perform shows. It helps the elderly to clean their homes, helps the elderly to wash their clothes, and it is easier to chat with the elderly to build a bridge for their hearts.

“Old people are afraid of being forgotten.” Zheng Xiaoli, director of the nursing home office, also said that the elderly prefer students to chat with them like their loved ones, listen to them and walk with them.
