     People in China are among the  most fearful of getting old, a new global survey suggests.
     According to Bupa, a British healthcare organization, which asked 12262 people in 12
countries about their attitudes toward aging, 28  percent of the Chinese polled said they feel
depressed when they think about getting old.
     And although 72 percent of all respondents aged 65 and over  said they do not feel old,
the survey conducted in June and July this year found more than half of those aged 45 to 54
in China already consider themselves to be elderly. About 30 percent  of Chinese respondents
said they worry about who will look after them in later years, while 91 percent agreed the
government of the world's most populous nation  should improve care for the elderly.
     However, because people in China think about their future earlier, research suggests the
country could be one of the best prepared for addressing the aging problem. About one third
of Chinese respondents--more than double the global average-said they have put money aside
for retirement, while 46 percent have taken out insurance, the poll showed. Despite being one
of the best prepared nations, three fifths of those surveyed in China expect their family to care
for them when they can no longer do so themselves.
     A Bupa-sponsored report,however, revealed that the "informal care network"  (the traditional
pattern of families looking after the elderly) is disintegrating. This is due to a number of factors,
said the report, including structural changes to the population, the increase of women in employment,
the increase of one-person households and the rise in divorce rates.
     The first batch of Chinese couples with only one child are largely in their 50s or 60s because the
country's family planning policy was adopted in the late 1970s.
     Li Yinping, 55, a retired accountant, said she thinks only people in their 70s can be called old.
She said her pension is enough to support her in later years and that her only hope is that her son
can visit regularly. "I don't worry about my later years at all," said Li. "When I'm old, I can turn to a
rest home. The local hospital can deliver the medicine I need with just a phone call."
     Xiao Zhe, a 26-year-old computer engineer in Beijing, is an only child whose parents live in his
hometown of Chongqing. "I'm so busy with my work that I can't go back to visit them often," he said.
"When they're not able to care for themselves, I will hire a nurse to look after them."
     China will become the oldest society in the world by 2030, according to a recent report by a
Beijing-based government think tank. The United Nations also forecasts that people aged 60 and
over will account for 28 percent of the country's total population by 2040.

“Dr.Papaderos,what is the meaning of life?”

The usual laughter followed,and people stirred(骚动)to go.Papaderos held up his hand and stilled the room and looked at me for a long time,asking with his eyes if I was serious and seeing from my eyes that I was.

“I will,answer your question.”

Taking his wallet out of his hip pocket,he fished into a leather billfold and brought out a very small round mirror,about the size of a quarter.And what he said went like this:

“When I was a small child,during the war,we were very poor and we lived in a remote village.One day,on the road,I found the broken pieces of a mirror.A German motorcycle had been wrecked in that place.

I tried to find all the pieces and put them together,but it was not possible,so I kept only the largest piece.This one,and,by scratching it on a stone.I made it round. I began to play with it as a toy and became fascinated by the fact that I could reflect light into dark places where the sun would never shine——in deep holes and crevices(裂缝)and dark closets. It became a game for me to get light into the most inaccessible places I could find.

I kept the little mirror,and,as I went about my growing up,I would take it out in idle moments and continue the challenge of the game.As I became a man,I grew to understand that this was not just a child’s game but a metaphor for what I might do with my life.I came to understand that I am not the light or the source of light.But light——truth,understanding,knowledge——is there,and it will shine in many dark places only if I reflect it.

I am a fragment(碎片)of a mirror whose whole design and shape l do not know.Nevertheless,with what I have I can reflect light into the dark places of this world——into the black places in the hearts of men—and change some things in some people.Perhaps others may see and do likewise.This is what I am about.This is the meaning of my life.”
