[quote=LINGYUXISU,422828]The money is not used to mend a broken heart, but to support the parents in old age or comfort them, to some extent. They have already lost their beloved ones and there is no way for them to worry about the rest of their lives. Besides, when a family member passed away, their relatives and friends will give ‘white envelop’, that’s the Chinese customs lasting for centuries.

Of course, children are not bred to support aged parents, that's what a cold blood do. But they really are the assistance of the aged, including the economic assistance. There is an old Chinese saying: Rear sons for help in old age. When the only-child policy is adopted, I think it should be changed to ‘Rear kid for help in old age’. Maybe it has been out of fashion and you may think it unbelievable. But a certain idea could not be changed in a short time.

Bobert, it seems we two are in a debate which will never come to an end. It reminded me of my cherished school life. But the customs and thinking habit differ everywhere. Now, I want to know will the New Zealand pay special compensation to Chinese families who lost their children or not? If they don’t, I just understand coz it’s not their fault. But if they do, I think the family, the Chinese government and people will highly appreciate it.
