Recent international statistics from June 14, 2024, show that around 20% of elderly individuals in developed countries experience social isolation, with unmarried, less educated, lower-income males being more prone to this and at higher risk for depression. Experts point out that men face more challenges post-retirement compared to women and should understand their own situations without simply attributing all changes to 'getting old.' Men's health has been a focus in recent years due to many men's reluctance to speak out about issues, particularly older men who often downplay problems until they become serious. Encouraging older men to open up and communicate with friends and family, express feelings, and find new passions and directions is essential for their mental and physical well-being.

Reporters from Taipei observed the stark differences between mature men and women—the latter being more socially active while the former tend to isolate themselves once they lose their partner. A growing number of resentful wives in Japan and Taiwan are expressing hope for their husbands to pass away, as showcased in the popular book 'Why Won't My Husband Die' by author Mikiko Kobayashi. Studies suggest that losing a partner in old age can shorten a man's lifespan by seven to ten years, highlighting the need for men to awaken to the importance of preparing for retirement and maintaining social connections beyond their spouse to avoid becoming a burden. Taiwan's 'Egg Yellow Brother' is an inspiring example of a retiree who planned ahead, learned new skills, and actively engaged with community activities after retirement, emphasizing the importance of developing interests and treating one's partner well in later years to avoid being seen as a piece of furniture at home.

The Economic Ministry's Water Resources Agency announced on June 14 that recent rainfall from monsoon fronts has significantly increased the water levels in major reservoirs across Taiwan. With enhanced water control, inter-regional water supply scheduling, industrial water conservation, and agricultural irrigation management, reservoir levels have risen, allowing for successful rice cultivation and stable water supply for residents and industries. As a result, Hsinchu, Miaoli, and Taichung see water reminders being lifted to normal status, while Taoyuan maintains the water reminder status. However, the Shimen Reservoir watershed has only received 56% of average rainfall so far this year, prompting water conservation efforts and the utilization of alternate water sources to support irrigation needs, especially in the absence of ample rainfall in the area.
