Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, February 5, 2016 Title: Respect for the Elderly and Filial Piety, Passing on the Torch

Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhou Runjian

Spring Festival is a journey of respect for the elderly and filial piety, and the "end point" of the journey is home, parents, relatives, and the boiling point of emotions and feelings.

"Filial piety, the origin of virtue, the place of teaching." In the values of Chinese, respect for the elderly and filial piety are the first of goodness. Going home for the New Year is actually a kind of filial piety. Busy for a year, Chinese New Year's Eve night, the family eats Chinese New Year's Eve meals together, keeps the new year together, chats together, and enjoys the joy of heaven and the beauty of life.

The home is the smallest country, and the country is tens of millions. Filial piety at home and loyalty to the country is the fine tradition of the Chinese nation, which has long been remembered in the hearts of Chinese and integrated into the blood of Chinese, and is an important spiritual force that supports the Chinese nation to live endlessly and pass on the torch.

The power of tens of millions of "home and harmony" converges into a powerful spiritual driving force, providing a steady stream of positive energy for the country and society. This energy is huge, amazing, indestructible, and it gives Chinese the confidence and confidence to overcome any difficulties.

"Companionship is the longest confession of affection." Parents are there, home is there, roots are there, and the taste of the year is there. There is no road in this world that is like the way home Chinese the Spring Festival, although the mountains will be passed and will arrive, and the mountains and rivers will eventually reach.

The Spring Festival holiday has come to an end, and many people have to say goodbye to their parents and friends and embark on the way home. At this time, many people's luggage is filled with souvenirs from their hometowns. However, no matter how large the space is, it cannot contain the heavy love of the parents; no matter how heavy the weight, it is not as heavy as the true love of the parents.

The foundation of the world is in the country, and the foundation of the country is at home. For Chinese, filial piety and gratitude are the condensation of spirit and genes. Each of us, time and again, generation after generation, deeply reproduces the humanistic spirit and cultural genes of the Spring Festival.
