台中大雅一位張姓78歲老農，日前操作耕耘機不幸死亡；雲林元長鄉80歲陳姓老翁，打死酗酒的54歲兒子。兩位老人的遭遇，反應農村凋零和社會照護未落實的問題。
老農身體健康務農當然不是問題，問題出在78歲高齡已經不適合操作耕耘機等機具。筆者已屆古稀之年也常操作小型耕耘機，總是力不從心，原來機器不適合體力日衰的老人了，可是現在的農村放眼望去幾乎都是老人耕作，他們還一直守著農村，守著農地呢！
80歲已經是需要被照顧的老人，陳姓老人家卻要長期照顧酗酒生病的兒子，酗酒這個常見的社會問題，卻無法解決照護難題，不少酗酒的人，總是藏在社會各個陰暗角落被長期忽視，被政府遺忘，他們要老人照顧，老人實在力不從心呀！（本文作者∕資深媒體人：溫富振）
