How older workers can add value to their companies

Uncle Lin is an enthusiastic volunteer at the community centre and has been dedicated to serving the community for many years. He has a happy family with two children at home to share family affection and joy with him. However, as he grew older, many of his old friends passed away and his children moved out to start their own families. These changes made Uncle Lin feel increasingly lonely and forgotten. His life was once filled with scenes of laughter and joyous gatherings, but now he is the only one left to recall the past within the four walls of his home. Especially during the holidays and weekends, when neighbours and family members gather together, Uncle Lin can only look out the window and feel an unspeakable loneliness in his heart. As he went out less and less, he began to feel the loneliness and helplessness of old age.

In my earliest memories, celebrating the Chinese New Year at home was a very solemn and cosy affair. I especially remember my mother teaching me to hold two oranges in both hands and respectfully wish my grandmother: “Ma Ma, I wish you good health, success, and happiness and health for the family!” The weather-beaten wrinkles on my grandmother’s forehead straightened out in an instant, and she was filled with a smile. Her eyes were full of love, as warm as the spring breeze. The kindness on her face is still deeply imprinted in my memory.
