As is vividly described in the
left part of the drawing, three decades ago,
there stood a delicate mother, holding
the tiny hand of a lovely girl while
in
the right one shows that the little girl, who has
already grown up as a
gorgeous lady, is
supporting her aged mother with her firm arm.
The aim of the picture is
to illustrate that being filial piety
(
孝顺,
孝心
) is
of
great
importance
in
our
current
society.
For
one
thing,
we
have
inherited
this
world
from
our
parents
and
grandparents.
If
not
for
the
hard
work
of
the
past
generations,
including
the
aged
among
us,
the
modern society that we enjoy today
would not be possible. For another,
the
senior
citizens
have
worked
hard
to
provide
for
their
families,
for
society
and
for
younger
generations.
The
majority
of
them
have
led
struggles to
create better living and working conditions for
posterity.
From
what
have
been
discussed
above,
we
conclude
that
it
is
our
tradition to respect the elderly and to
take care of the young. The young
should
consider
it
a
moral
obligation
respecting
and
taking
care
of
old
parents.
