Recently, I heard a poignant thing. An elderly father who is caught up in a difficult life because of his daughter's indifference and selfishness. This father's name is Uncle Yang, and he is over 80 years old this year. His life was full of loneliness and helplessness, and he longed for his daughter's love and support.
Uncle Yang used to be a hardworking and kind person, and he was full of love for his family and wife. However, as time went on, his body gradually aged, and his vision began to blur. He can no longer contribute to the family as he used to, and instead becomes a burden to the family. This made his daughter Yang Rong more and more impatient with him, and even unwilling to take care of him.
At the funeral, Uncle Yang's eyes were full of anticipation and confusion. He asked his daughter for help, but what he got was a ruthless response from his daughter: "Your mother is gone, and I can't move, girl, look, what should I do?" This sentence deeply pierced Uncle Yang's heart. He felt extremely disappointed and helpless, because he knew that his life had completely lost hope.
I would say that this kind of behavior is inhumane. As parents who raise their children**, they deserve the respect and love of their children. Even if a parent is old or has an illness to take care of, it is not a reason for a child to shirk responsibility. We should pay attention to the rights and livelihood of the elderly, and provide them with necessary support and care.
At the same time, we should also reflect on our own attitudes and behaviors towards the elderly. Have we ever behaved disrespectfully towards an elderly person? Can we also be as cold and ruthless as Uncle Yang's daughter? We should be aware of the importance of the elderly in society, they have made great contributions to society and are the precious wealth of our society. We should respect the fruits of their labor and contributions, and care about their lives and health.
I hope that the relevant departments will pay attention to this issue and take some measures to protect the rights and interests of the elderly and the quality of life. For example, relevant laws, regulations and policies should be formulated to clearly stipulate the responsibilities and obligations of supporting the elderly; Strengthen the construction of assistance and service systems for the elderly. Only in this way can the elderly truly enjoy the welfare and care of society.
I would like to say that "filial piety" is an important part of traditional Chinese culture. "Filial piety comes first", this is one of the basic moral principles that each of us should follow. We should pay attention to the life and social problems of the elderly and provide them with the necessary support and care. I believe that as long as the whole society works together, we will be able to build a better and harmonious society.
