Filial piety is the traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. Filial piety has always been praised by people, especially in the Han Dynasty, when filial piety and honesty became the standard for literati to recommend officials, which was called "accusation system". According to historical records, Cao Cao, a lean generation in the history of China, entered the official career through "supporting honesty" and finally established his own empire-Wei State. Because the "checkpoint system" is the only way for a scholar-bureaucrat to be an official, the implementation of this system has greatly promoted people's pursuit of filial piety, incorruptibility, especially filial piety, and filial piety such as "sleeping on the ice for carp" has also been interpreted by people.

Apollo once made a mistake and was beaten up by his mother with a wooden stick. Apollo wept bitterly. Mom asked, "I didn't see you cry when I hit you before." Why are you crying today? "He replied," I was very painful when you hit me before, but it doesn't hurt today. "Maybe it's mom. You are old and weak, and you have no strength. I cried when I thought about it! "

This story from Han Shi Zhuan is a model of filial piety, which is very touching to read. When Apollo was beaten by his mother, he was concerned about her old age and wept bitterly for it, which showed his filial piety to her. Thus, in ancient times, filial piety was also a realm.

Walking in the street, you can often see some old people. They are in rags, either pedaling tricycles or carrying snakeskin bags, wandering in the streets, picking up discarded beverage bottles, or rummaging through the garbage for available "resources", with stiff and numb movements.

Are they all lonely old people without relatives? Of course not. In fact, there are many elderly people whose children are still "alive". To be precise, they did a good job. But that's just their child. As for them? A small number were sent to nursing homes. The rest is what you saw in the street. They wandered in the streets and formed a "unique" landscape in the city.

I suddenly remembered a TV documentary I had seen. In the film, the seriously ill old man is transferred from the hospital to his home because he has no money for treatment, and he lies in bed in great pain. However, the three children of the old man argued endlessly about the medical expenses of the old man outside the house, and even talked about how to deal with the funeral of the old man. They quarreled so fiercely that they even got into a fight in the end, only to be pulled away by their neighbors. In the room, facing the camera, the old man said with tears: "I still have thousands of private money, so use it for the funeral!" " Please persuade them to stop arguing. They are all my own flesh and blood! "His voice is sad and touching.

Finally, the old man died suddenly in bed with tears of concern in his eyes. The reporters were silent, and the room was silent, except for the constant noise and curses from outside.
