To respect the elderly is the Chinese traditional virtue. But With the deepening of the aging of society, there are a growing number of empty-nesters, which ha
2、s become a serious social problem.

The young couples need to care about their parents health and encourage them to go t
9、o hospital once they are uncomfortable. Whats more, the society can help the empty nesters by providing more and more free consultation and inspection for them. In addition, more volunteers should be organized to chat with the empty nesters or give them economic assistance. To respect the elderly is the progress of human science development. If human have proper thoughts, the society can develop healthily. To care the elders is not only for a child and a family, but also for a society and a country. So let us care for empty nesters.
