Holding a group to support the elderly has become very popular abroad, but why not in China?

Holding a group to support the elderly means that some elderly people will not stay at home alone. When they are old, they will find like-minded people to spend their old age with. This model is rising abroad, but it doesn't seem to work at home. After all, China people's thoughts are quite different from those of foreigners. After a period of implementation, it will not last.

One: traditional ideas are deeply rooted.

In our minds in China, people just want to leave the leaves behind. No matter where they are or what they have, their home will always belong to them. Even when they are old, they want to spend it at home. Even if the family is not good, it is the place where they have lived all their lives. No matter how good the place outside is, they are not comfortable living, so many old people still want to stay at home.

Two: children will be considered unfilial by others.

We in China and foreigners have different ideas. For foreigners in Du Yu, maybe when the child reaches the age of 18, his parents will leave him alone and let him go out for development. But not in China. The elders in China are very worried. Even if children get married and have children, they will still be worried. So when they are old, they naturally have their own children to support themselves. Anyone who sends his parents to a nursing home will be called unfilial.

Three: There will be many problems.

In fact, although the mode of supporting the elderly by holding a group is novel, there are still many problems, which may not be implemented even abroad, let alone at home, because the elderly still have their own children or have various problems, which are unpredictable.

Because the old man is not the closest person after all, he can only be said to be a like-minded person. If the stakes are involved, I believe it can't be solved well. Therefore, it is impossible to support the elderly by holding a group in China.
