The cartoon displays a very special and thought-provoking soccer game: the four goals are kept by an old man’s three sons and one daughter, while the old man himself becomes the ball, being kicked among the four corners by his “beloved” children. It is clearly indicated that none of them is willing to spare a tiny portion of time and money to repay their old father who have raised them.
Through the artistic presentation, we can be easily reminded of a popular phenomenon in today’s society, that is, disrespect towards elders and shirking of the responsibility of nursing aging parents. The boosting economic development in China sadly witnesses a deterioration of the public awareness of filial duty, which had taken an indispensable position in traditional Chinese values for thousands of years. However, as the society grows more benefit-oriented, the once unbroken bond between parents and children is fundamentally shaken and begins to collapse.
In my point of view, the trend goes quite against the genuine and original purpose of our pursuit of wealth and welfare, that is, to shape a rich life both materially and mentally. Thinking of the love we received from our parents when swaggering babies, we must realize that repaying parents by a happy life with financial and psychological support is not only a duty that should not be shrugged off, but a key element to achieve a harmonious society.

This drawing depicts a typical “little emperor” of a contemporary Chinese family. The fat son sinks comfortably into a soft sofa watching TV, while his father and mother, who are strikingly thinner, are feeding him watermelon and cutting his nails. No doubt, the boy is very spoiled being the center.
Unfortunately, children who are brought up in such an environment may suffer hardships later. Because their life is always pampered, there is a great possibility that they would be unable to deal with any frustration or failure. Most of the children who are extremely pampered are arrogant and complacent, without the awareness of showing respect to others. This attitude can arouse others’ disfavor toward them. Furthermore, these children may find difficulty in sustaining themselves once detached from their families.
What I want to emphasize by the above analysis is that, though it is good to see much of parents’ attention is focused on children, it is more important to help children learn how to survive and how to be good citizens. They are ensured not only of a bright future but also a sound intellectual and mental foundation, and hence a healthy life.

This is a very thought-provoking picture. A young couple is marrying and they hold a decent wedding ceremony. While they are happily smiling for this important event, their parents, in contrast, sink into a difficult financial situation because the huge expense for the marriage which imposes heavy loads on them.
We can deduce that the artist is purposefully reminding us of a rather negative trend emerging in today’s society. That is to say, it is becoming a fashion for bridegrooms and brides to celebrate marriage in a very luxurious manner. Admittedly, marriage symbolizes a milestone in one’s life and should be given extreme emphasis. But importance should not be necessarily expressed by how much money is spent. In fact, a grand wedding has more negative effects. For one thing, the newlyweds usually cannot afford marriage expense, and transfer the load to parents. For another, new couples might be misled thinking that they can always rely on parents instead of being self-sufficient
I strongly contend that young people should not establish their own happiness on the basis of parents’ hardship. I think a simple wedding ceremony conveys true delight and significance. Thus the whole society should endeavor to promote a new fashion of simple weddings.

There is a popular Chinese song, named “Go Home Often”, which encourages people to spend more time with their retired parents. The young man in the picture does go home frequently, but for a very different reason—he brazenly asks for money so that he can afford to play around with pretty girls. From his parents’ face express we can read surprise and anger.
Sad as it is, this phenomenon does not occur rarely in today’s society, while both parents and children are responsible for it. For one thing, a number of young people are so used to relying financially on their families that they could never actually stand on their own feet when commencing their own life. These ingrates never feel grateful of how hard their parents have strived to meet their ceaseless demand for money. For another, parents indulge children in consumption rather than instill in them with an objective outlook on money, and to teach them how to manage personal finances.
To solve this problem, the whole society should take immediate actions, in order to raise the next generatioin with sound methods. In my opinion, the awareness of struggling for one’s own life independently is elementary for paving the way towards success.
