The author learned from Xiangxi People's Hospital that an old man was admitted to the geriatric ward due to illness. During the nearly one month in hospital, his children paid the hospitalization fee for the old man and hired a nanny to take care of his life. They always say that they are busy at work, so they seldom come to the hospital to see the elderly. The old man living in the ward feels lonely.
After another old man was hospitalized, the high medical expenses made the old man unbearable. He called his two children to pay in advance. Who knows that the two children can't reach an agreement because of the burden. As a result, each of them paid several thousand yuan and never showed up again. The old man was helpless and had to leave the hospital. Although the doctor warned the old man many times, his condition has not been effectively controlled and he can't leave the hospital. But who will pay this high medical fee for the elderly to continue treatment?
As the old saying goes, "A sheep has the grace to kneel and nurse, and a crow has the meaning to feed back." It is the bounden duty of children to honor the elderly. We all changed from children to parents. Today we honor the elderly, tomorrow we are old, and our children can be kind to themselves. In this sense, honoring the elderly is actually honoring ourselves.
However, some children are busy with work, study and business all day and have no time to care for the elderly. Some children even regard the elderly as a burden, which is a sign of unfilial. There are also some children who regard filial piety to the elderly as a task and a form, thinking that as long as they give their parents enough money, or hold a birthday party and kowtow a few times, they will be filial. As everyone knows, what the old people are more eager for is that their children often talk under their knees and their grandchildren are happy together.
In fact, due to the limitation of objective conditions, many people have very limited time to accompany the elderly and are too busy to care. But have you ever thought that parents actually have little requirements for their children? A caring phone call and a warm greeting can warm their hearts. When the old man is ill, his children should be considerate. The old man came home to visit and often communicated with him to solve some practical difficulties for him. Children do their best to honor the elderly, no matter how much you are.
Of course, many people are not very good at expressing their feelings in an exposed way. They walk hand in hand with their relatives, hug each other when they meet, or say "I love you" to their faces. Although they can't be expressed by direct body language, they are actually silently caring, loving and caring for the elderly, which is also worthy of our praise and learning. After all, people's environment and education are different, and the ways to express their feelings are also different. The key is to see if there is real filial piety.
At present, the population aging in China is accelerating. According to statistics, by the end of 20 1 1, the number of elderly people aged 60 and above in China had reached 654.38+85 million, accounting for 13.7% of the total population. Today's society is changing rapidly, but good traditions cannot be changed. Filial piety to the elderly is not only a person's moral bottom line, but also an important part of building a harmonious society.
