What is your biggest feeling from the scene of a 90-year-old man pulling a scooter to move alone in Jiangsu?

This scene makes me feel very sad, really sorry for the old man.

The video of an old man pushing a cart on a country road made countless netizens break through the defense line. There are simple daily necessities, cooking oil and pots on the scooter, as well as other sundries.

The netizen who shot the video said that this was taken by himself on New Year's Day in 2022. The grandfather in the video is over 90 years old this year, and his wife died many years ago. Now he lives in two sons' houses in turn, each for three months. As soon as the date arrived, he pushed his scooter to move to another son's house without staying for a day.

Because the distance between the two sons' homes is not far, the old man packed up his things on the morning of the first day of the New Year's Day and put them on the scooter, and moved to the eldest son's home alone. It is not difficult to see from the daily necessities pulled by the old man's scooter that although the old man is over 90 years old, he is still cooking by himself, because there are electric cookers and cooking oil on the trolley.

Many rural netizens reported that the elderly in rural areas live in their sons' homes in turn, but the elderly in the video are over 90 years old. Even if the two sons take turns to support them, isn't there a son who reaches out to help the elderly move on the day of moving? If you can't even do this simple little thing, what about filial piety?

The scene of the old man dragging his scooter on the moving road made many people sad and burst into tears, which also reflected the present situation of providing for the aged in most rural areas. The old man worked hard all his life, but he lost his home when he was old. The children's home became his temporary residence and he had to move from one home to another every once in a while. This way of support may be a relief for his children, but for the elderly.

Filial piety to the elderly is what children should do. Don't take it lightly. Everyone will get old, so being kind to parents means being kind to yourself in the future.
