"It is too little, for sure, I think twice a year would be good," she said. "We Chinese people raise children to take care of us when we are old."
她说:“哪怕一年见两次面也好,现在见面机会太少了。我们中国人抚养孩子,就是希望等我们老了能有个照应。”
China's legislature amended the law in December following frequent reports of elderly parents neglected by their children. It says offspring of parents older than 60 should see that their daily, financial and spiritual needs are met.
中国立法机构在十二月修订该法律之前,曾有一系列报道称年老父母被儿女忽视。报告称60岁以上的父母应该确保儿女能满足他们的日常生活、和物质精神需求。
Although respect for the elderly is deeply engrained in Chinese society, three decades of market reforms have accelerated the breakup of China's traditional extended family, and there are few affordable alternatives, such as retirement homes.
尽管尊敬长辈深深植根于中国文化中,三十年的市场经济改革使得中国传统的家族意识日渐淡薄,而其他诸如养老院一类的赡养方式价格不菲。
Rapid aging poses serious threats to the country's social and economic stability, as the burden of supporting the growing number of elderly passes to a proportionately shrinking working population and the social safety net remains weak.
