The way of life in Chinese traditional culture is full of children and grandchildren, which is the envy of American seniors. Confucian culture advocates that when parents are at home, children do not travel far away to study. Parents in poor areas even take the birth of boys as their old-age security. Americans, on the other hand, believe that raising children is a social responsibility rather than self-sacrifice. The reward of children is not to feed their parents, but to strive to become talents. Although the United States has a relatively perfect social welfare system to protect the daily life of the elderly, the elderly lack emotional communication with future generations. They feel helpless and lonely. If they are separated from their families for a long time, they can't enjoy the happiness of their families.
