The significance of respecting and loving the elderly

Respecting and loving the elderly is a fine tradition of our Chinese nation. When people are old, disabled, widowed, unable to work or unable to take care of themselves beyond retirement age, they can get support from their families and society: provide them with security, medical care, happiness, health care, education, study, security and retirement.

Every nation and culture has its vitality and unique charm, but the Chinese nation, with deep feelings, has condensed the population of China/Kloc-0.4 billion and the vast number of compatriots and overseas Chinese, and those traditional virtues (including the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young) are indispensable.

Old people make contributions to society and family. They are the treasure house of knowledge and the key to wisdom. They not only nurtured us, but also taught us the truth of being a man by example, although we sometimes feel that the old people's knowledge is outdated and their way of thinking is too orthodox.

However, the old people are still the last and most determined reliance in our hearts. After hitting a wall in reality, we still feel that the old people have passed on their wisdom, or that the inherent qualities and ideas belonging to our nation cannot be abandoned. This is the soul of our nation, passed down from generation to generation through the old people. Guide our nation to live endlessly, and guide our nation to stand tall among the nations of the world.

Therefore, it is natural for the government to provide for the aged, the society to provide for the aged and the family to provide for the aged. This is the reason for the non-independence Double Ninth Festival ("respecting the elderly").

To care for the elderly, we must respect the elderly, respect their way of thinking and independent choice, provide more convenience for them to feel caring, create a better environment for the elderly to support themselves, let them have a happy lifestyle, and create conditions for them to build confidence in new social values and family values.
