The emotional need of an elderly: silicone doll
Two years ago, Tai Boring's (a pseudonym) beloved wife died after a long and painful battle with cancer. After experiencing the pain of losing his wife, the elderly man, who was over 70 years old, felt the loneliness and desolation of life. Although the idea of remarriage occasionally flashed through his mind, he gave up the idea when he thought of the troubles and uncertainties that remarriage brought. However, as time went by, he felt more and more that he lacked a partner to confide in and spend time with. This loneliness even made him begin to worry that he might commit suicide because of excessive sadness.
In order to relieve the loneliness and pain in his heart, Tai Boring suddenly had an idea and decided to customize a doll for himself in the image of his late wife. This doll not only looks very similar to his wife, but also carries his deep thoughts and love for his wife. Every day, he would carefully dress the doll and put on clean and tidy clothes, as if his wife had returned to his side.
When eating, Tai Boring would also put the doll next to the table and share the food with her. Although he knew it was just a lifeless doll, at that moment, he seemed to feel the company and warmth of his wife. In the past, he and his wife always liked to dance at home, and those good times have now become the most precious memories in his heart. And now, he still keeps this habit, but this time he is holding the doll weighing dozens of kilograms, jumping around in the spacious living room, as if his wife is holding him tightly and dancing with him.
Although the outside world may be puzzled or even criticized for this behavior, for Tai Boring, this doll has become an indispensable part of his life, bringing him endless comfort and companionship.
