She Blocked My Sunrise in English

She blocked my sunrise, but also opened up a world to me.

[Good article to share]

I boarded the plane and sat down, beside a thin old lady, who was concentrating on playing poker games on the ipad. After takeoff, she leaned against the porthole and fell asleep. Blocked my sunrise.

The flight attendant delivered drinks. She woke up and said softly, “Tomato juice, a little bit of ice.” I told her on her behalf and asked for a set of the same drink for myself. She sipped it and said softly: “This tomato juice is not too sweet, and this snack biscuit is too much sugar.” I naturally nodded yes and praised her for being nutritionally conscious. She said, “It’s good to be careful in everything. This is my 96-year-old experience.” I was taken aback. The old lady looked about 70 years old. She couldn’t be described as hale and hearty but calm and tidy. She was 96 years old.

She said she was travelling alone and had to change planes to spend Christmas with her 68-year-old son.

Encountering such a legend, my brain was fully activated, my chatting ability soared, and I quickly wanted to construct a complete life in the remaining forty minutes.

“You live by yourself? Do you have children around you?” ——What a Chinese problem. She replied, “Have a son nearby, lol, but he’s 72 too. I live in my own house and drive my own car. Bought a new car last year, a Lincoln MKC. I want to make sure my car has maximum safety features. I have a PC, a Mac, an iPhone, and an iPad, so it’s very convenient to play poker.” She said that she has been a teacher all her life and retired 30 years ago. Until now, she has been working on teaching people to play bridge. There are adult education classes are open. He often goes out to participate in recreational competitions and gathers with poker players worldwide.

Seeing my surprised expression, she probably understood what I meant, and also made a surprised expression, she said, “I often forget my age; because I almost never think about it. Sometimes I feel that I am still 25 years old, Oh, go to the store to buy clothes and put them on and you don’t look 25. Well, that’s the clothes, not me”.

I praised her for being too young at heart, and she said: “Do you know why many elderly people degenerate quickly? Because they don’t have to do anything by themselves. Someone delivers their meals to them, cleans their rooms, adjusts entertainment programs at any time, and even Give them a bath. What brain power, physical strength, muscle? You don’t need anything, and it will naturally degenerate.” What’s more frightening is that they lose control of their own lives because of this; people who lose control of themselves are bipolar, so they complain, such as too hot soup, too loud TV, too slow elevator… .. The question is, where can you go when the elevator comes? …….

The old lady said that she was Jewish, the youngest of four children, who grew up freely and without restraint. He enlisted in the U.S. Army in World War II, dispatched to Berlin and Munich, and traveled with General Eisenhower. “But as a Jew, just like you Asians, the inherent emphasis on education and positive orientation will not be biased.”

“Is there a longevity gene?” “My family members basically died young, or their health was poor in old age. I think the years of military service, the training, regular life, and self-discipline engraved in the blood is the secret of longevity that I will use throughout my life.”

When the plane landed, my eardrums began to hurt. She continued to speak slowly without changing her expression. I asked her if she missed her family. This attracts children and grandchildren to come and play without the temptation of the sea view house; how would they be interested in coming and going”? She laughed as she spoke. “Aren’t you staying at your son’s house?” Another very Chinese question. She said, “I lived there for three months. I never lived at my son’s house. It is unscientific for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to spend more than one dinner under one roof. I can’t put my son in the middle. His wife should be His most important woman.”

I listened to these insights with immense admiration.

When taking off, she blocked my sunrise; when landing, she opened up a world for me.

For the inspiration of life and wisdom of the younger generations, I would like to share it with all my children and grandchildren. I hope they too can be so elegant and calm in the not-too-distant future! This is a very good article to share with everyone!
