Whether it is the ancestor worship of the Qingming Festival, the reunion of the Spring Festival, the Mid -Autumn Festival, or the various activities carried out around the Chung Yeung Festival around the elderly, the filial piety is silent. This culture also prompts us to vigorously promote the traditions of filial piety and respect the elderly, implement the policy of treating the elderly, safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly, play a positive role of the elderly, let the elderly share the results of reform and development, and enjoy happiness in their old age.
