How warm the given drawing is! What is obviously featured in this drawing is that there are two people, mother and her daughter, holding each other's hand tightly. In the left/first picture, a middle-aged mother was leading his baby daughter, with a smile on her face, while in the right one, the already grown-up daughter is happily supporting her aged mother thirty years later. Below the pictures, there is a topic which says, "Being supportive". Indeed, what the illustrator virtually attempts to mirror by this instructive cartoon is by no means simple: Love between parents and children is probably one of the most touching and noblest emotions among human beings. It goes far beyond any reasonable dispute that the illustration is indicative of a rather pervasive social phenomenon --------- When we were young, our parents offered us all their love and helped us cope with everything. When they get old, we must in return provide them all support necessary and spend much time accompanying them. And this great kinship and considerate caring between generations should be remembered and relayed to our descendants by everyone around us. A convincing case in point occurring to me goes to the epic story of the Chinese girl-warrior, Mulan, who disguised herself as a man to take the place of her elderly father in the army. A significant number of stories like this tell us that caring for the aged parents is not only Chinese traditional virtue, but our fundamental responsibility as well. In fact, we are indebted to our parents for birth and growth. Without their love and care, how could we have grown up healthily and successfully? Unfortunately, the previous couple of years has witnessed the growing incidence of abusing or neglecting of the old. And reports of such happenings can be readily found throughout the mass media recently. Much can be done. The mass media and schools of all levels, fore and most, could serve as a counterbalance, doing its utmost to awaken the general public to the significance of respecting and loving our aging parents. Meanwhile, it is the responsibility of the government to curb the behavior of elders’ abuse and elders neglect by punishing those who fail to love their parents adequately. We are supposed to keep deep in mind that we should manage to, just as the song sings, "spare some time, take the children, and come back home often". Only if we can make our aging parents feel happy can our home be happy, healthy and harmonious.
