Views from different people about thanksgiving to parent

Every year, in the day of the Qing Ming Festival, we Chinese need to go back home to visit a grave. Today I'd like to talk about a woeful thing that happened in the festival. I have a grandpa who has no relationship with me. He is very strict with his daughter as well as me , and I was afraid of him when I was a child, but no one will keep their youth forever. Now, he is old , and his daughter has gotten married and gave birth to a son, so my "grandpa" has a grandson. But My "sister" immigrated to the United States, thus my grandparents have no rely on child to rely on in China.

After visiting some graves, he told us that one day he was alone , and suddenly, he felt dizzy and even couldn't be on his feet. At that time, he thought about his grandson who he has never met , and he was so sad that he can't help to it brought tears to his eyes.
Besides, a while ago, there was something wrong with my grandma's foot , and she needed to do have surgery. However, nop one could help to care of for her , until at last, my mother looked after her in the hospital for three days.

There is a proverb in China , "养儿防老" ， which means people bring up sons(daughters) to provide for their old age. The Another saying is "滴水之恩，当涌泉相报" , all in all , which tells us to be grateful to our parents. Actually, I can't understand my "sister". She already has a good development in Shanghai. Why did she have to take go away from her parents? Maybe someone may say she is chasing her dream; I still can't agree with you.
I think my "sister" is a selfish daughter.

I'm interested in listening to views from different people about thanksgiving to parents. Thanks.

Very good story.

In America, we honor our parents on Mother's and Father's day, or at least we should. Actually, we should honor them everyday. It is difficult though because we try to make a life for ourselves and time for our parents gets less and less. When they get old, most of the time they are put in an assisted living facility because we do not have time for them. We should return to taking care of our own and maybe one day we will.
