such long life lady 88years old

My aunt, she is 88 years old. Except eyes problem, her boday condition is very well. Such a lady, she has an unusual story of life.

My grandfather, he had three sons and one daughter. this lady is my oldest uncle's wife. She is ten years older than him. When they married, my father was only 9 years old, and his mother already died. So she treated my brother just like her own son.

You can never imagine that she used to be a daughter of very rich lard family when she was young. Years ago, when her mind was clear, she told me, she had her own maids to serve her everyday, and she took sidan-chair(a chair carried by two people or pulled by horse, in the past only very rich family could have it and somehow, like nowdays BMW). Becasue of chinese revalution, all the lands belong to cuntry and shared by all the people. So her family became very comon and even poor.Some bad lards were killed or sent to prison during the revalution, but my aunt's family was good to people , so they were safe in that time. And then she was introdced to my oldest ancle and they got married.

They had a very hard time after they married.(All Chinese had very hard time during 1960s , natural dizaster, no food). But they bulid their house by their own hands. Unforturnatly, my ancle died at 1985, he falled down from a high place when he was working.

She was such strong woman. After their son married in 1990, their life became better.

She is so lonely. She told me all her family members died, and she is the only one alive.When I arrived her bedroom, she was lyding down awakely. Everday, she spent by this way, no more talking. When we visited her, she seems so excited, and even joked with me.

Her son told me, by the end of this year, they will move out from this old house which was bulit by his parents. He also told me that he did not want to move out of such house he lived for 40 years. At the mean time, it was the place my grandfather ever lived. I can understand their feelings. But the government will rebuilt that area, and will arrange them to new morden buildings.

I hope my aunt can be happy, health and long long life.
