Today, I go to the nursing home and it is nervous for me before go there. At first, I think I must
get some problem about how to ask every question and I have to make sure the question itself doesn’t make the elder people get angry. I really want to know her life when the Chinese is undeveloped.
But when I arrive there, I feel different. The other question becomes my biggest question. When I walk
into the gate of the nursing home, I feel it is very peaceful and quiet. So I really afraid that our coming will make the elder people feel unpleasant.
I saw my partner when I go upstairs. She is an elder man who is 96 years old now. Although she is very
old now, she really get a logical brain and she can explain everything very well. The only problem is that she is a people who can only say Shanghainese but in my group, none of us can use Shanghainese to talk. My group member can understand the Shanghainese so I have to pretend to understand what that elder
person says to show respect to her. So I try to use some body language to agree with her or show my understanding. When she starts talking, although I don’t understand her, I can even guess what she
said.
The time passed quickly and I have to say goodbye with her. Next time I think I will do some research
about Shanghainese and use some basic words to communicate with her. If I would like to choose a date to meet her again, I think 2013/10/24 is ok because I feel she is lonely there and I must go to meet her to talk with her to make her life full of laughter!
