The first choice is to pin your hopes on children. Many elderly people may want to have children when they are young, that is, they want to wait for their children to support their old age. After all, the old saying also says "raising children to prevent old age", but the problem is that times have changed now. When they are old, their children may also be very filial. The problem is that there may be nothing they can do.

First of all, children have their own small families to be busy after marriage. Nowadays, the life pressure of young people is already great. Coupled with the fast pace of life, they have to keep charging and dare not slack off in their careers. If they have children, children's affairs will keep them busy. Many times, let alone relying on children to support the elderly. Perhaps their children also hope that the old man can help look after the children after retirement.

Moreover, many young couples are only children now. If the elderly rely on their children to support the elderly, the burden on their children will be heavier. Although children do have the obligation to provide for the elderly, many times, the elderly are unwilling to drag their children down and do not want to be a burden to their children, so they completely hope that their children will provide for the elderly. In most cases, it is even impossible.
