1、In China, the current statutory retirement age is 60 for men and 55 for women. China has entered an aging society. A large amount of retired people will start their new life after retirement.
The transition （过渡期） from being a full-time employee to total leisure (空闲)might be one of the most important changes in our whole life. Many successful retirees say that they feel more satisfied with life from various activities and business. It makes a great sense of self-worth. They don9t need to endure harmful working environment and office politics. They don’t need to take more efforts to get a higher position and gain wealth. They can arrange their retired life based on interests and the business opportunities because they have enough time and budget (预算）to make their life more interesting and successful. So that, retired life must be the happiest period in the whole life. Because there is no restriction of the rules and company culture, they can fully show their perseverance and optimistic attitude. More importantly, they have the ability to deal with problems and create selling points for their business.
Specifically, most of retirees will study in the elderly university and learn new skills，like traditional Chinese medicine，cooking，handwriting, ink painting，chess, tea culture, music, martial arts and dance. Some of them start up their own businesslike Chinese restaurant, Chinese medicine clinic, and art exhibition. The local government also provides many opportunities for retired people to enjoy high quality life.
I suggest that the retirees continue doing their previous job. For example, a retired teacher can be a part-time teacher and teach students in the community, and a retired dancer can teach dancing fans and help them to be a professional dancer. That may be the best way to make sense of self-identity and accomplishment.
