The 47-year-old salesperson wants to teach yoga to middle-aged and elderly people after retirement to prepare for the next stage of life. Behind the certificate is their heart to contend with the years
On the evening of September 24, 47-year-old Li Rong returned home after practicing yoga.
The lover was lying on the sofa playing Fighting Landlords, she turned on the tablet and started a day of review.
"I have been practicing yoga for three years, and I am about to retire. I am preparing to take a yoga master certificate and then go to a yoga studio as an assistant teacher." Li Rong is a salesperson and the oldest student in the yoga studio.
Taking into account the boring life after retirement, she plans to do it so that not only can she continue to practice yoga, she may also get an extra pension.
"So now in addition to practicing yoga, I have to take online classes every day to prepare for the test."
In fact, because some vocational qualification certificates do not have age restrictions, textual research has become a new activity popular among middle-aged and elderly people.
Faced with the upcoming retirement life, research as a continuation of professional ability also allows middle-aged and elderly people to start planning the second half of their lives.
Behind the certificate is not only the enthusiasm for textual research, but also their dream-seeking heart to contend with the years...
Unwilling to retire
Textual research became their way out
Li Rong is very good at taking care of herself, her appearance is not directly proportional to her age.
Even from her back, you can hardly equate her with someone who is almost fifty.
"This is all the credit for practicing yoga in the past few years. This is also the motivation for me to get a yoga master certificate." Li Rong said that the yoga master certificate refers to the "National First-Class Fitness Yoga Social Sports Instructor" and "Fitness Yoga Intermediate Coach" "Certificate".
"The main course content includes basic knowledge of social sports instructors, sports event organization and practice, scientific fitness and chronic disease rehabilitation, the connotation and system of fitness yoga, fitness yoga competition rules and refereeing methods." After Li Rong passed the theoretical knowledge study and examination, You have to pass the fitness yoga posture exam to successfully complete the course and get the certificate.
This also means that Li Rong has to find time to go to class to review the certificate after work, and to practice yoga even more.
All this is to prepare for opening a yoga studio or a part-time yoga teacher after retirement.
"I don't have a high degree of education, and I don't want to be idle after retirement. The only jobs I can find are cleaning and waiters." Li Rong is optimistic about yoga because she is also practicing yoga, which has a positive effect on herself, and it is the threshold for research. Not very high.
"It's too difficult for middle-aged and elderly women to make money decently. We all regard research as our last way out."
Like Li Rong, 54-year-old Qiu Hui is not willing to retire.
But the original intentions of the two are different. Qiu Hui's motivation comes from the children.
"I'm almost 60 when I look at it. I wonder if my child is about to buy a house, get married, and have a baby. I can make a contribution." Qiu Hui feels that research is another way to prove himself.
"We live all our lives for our children, and I hope they will live better than us."
Self-realization
Prepare for the next life
On September 17, on the high-speed railway from Chongqing north to Chengdu east, Liu Fuyong put on reading glasses and took out a stack of printed training materials for tea masters.
The 59-year-old Lao Liu likes to drink tea and has been to Laoshan, Yunnan to plant old tea trees.
This time he went to Chengdu for two things. In addition to seeing his grandson, he also went to the Zhuyeqing Tea Farm in Mount Emei.
"Last year when I was buying tea, I heard a young man introduced me to the content of tea master training, so I wanted to test a certificate." Liu Fuyong was a worker in a public institution and liked to study tea after retirement.
After hearing that tea masters can also obtain professional qualifications, he was a little bit ready to move.
But after all, they are not young people. Not only do you need to memorize the basic knowledge of tea and tea art, but the actual steps of tea art are also very cumbersome.
So Liu Danfan was a little free, so he took training materials to study.
"We are both old classmates, we are in the same WeChat group, he is our internet celebrity." Driven by Liu's active research, many of his elementary and junior high school classmates are also ready to relive the youth who is preparing for the exam, Chen Letter is one of them.
"I'm going to try a psychological counselor. At our age, I can have something that I love, and I feel that my life has been extended."
Chen Xin's current life revolves around his granddaughter and grandson, and sometimes even his age is forgotten.
"I went to the pharmacy to buy medicine, and the salesperson asked me how old I was, and I answered the year of birth. Now that I have time to review, I think I have a lot of flexibility. And now that there are subsidies for research, we basically can't spend much. "
