There is a virtue (美德)in China－Respecting the 36and care for the young”. About the above two aspects, we will discuss the former one in this passage.
Why should we 37the old? because they are ahead of us in age, in wisdom and in experience. Our elders have done a lot for us, directly or indirectly and most of us 38everything to their kindness and love.
When we show them respect, whether it is by bowing to them, or 39them with a smile, or offering them any help they need, it is one way of 40our own love and gratitude to them. 41, elders have also been through all the years you are 42and know a little more about the world than you do.
It is 43that you do not agree with the belief of your elders, but this is nothing new. All younger generations have always 44with their elders and it is these differences that bring changes in human 45. However much you disagree with them, give them credit for their 46.
With changing times and 47influences, youngsters no longer know what is interpreted as disrespect to elders. Youngsters should 48express their views and if there are arguments, they should not 49their voices.
If there is no space on sofas or chairs, children will immediately 50their places, and sit on the carpet. In buses and trains, youngsters are 51to give up their places to older people. This is not a 52of who has more rights. It is simply that those who are younger have the strength to bear 53, or tolerate unpleasantness, so it is natural to show consideration to those who are older and perhaps at a 54disadvantage.
When you do simple things as a mark of respect, elders become 55that youngsters care for them, and they respond with affection and kindness.
