[quote=YVONNE,251343]In recent days, a hot topic has sparkled fierce debate among Chinese netizens: “should ‘coming back home often’ become a slogan? An anonymous net-user stated: I have always felt that there are numerous chances for me to express my gratitude to my beloved parents through my action. However, after I pondered for a while in the recent days, I found that ‘coming back home often to see my parents’ have been only a slogan for me. Suppose my parents can live for 20 years any more, the chances for me to see my parents are about only 30 times, since I went back home to see my parents twice a year on average; if they can live no more than 10 years, the chances to meet them is less.

This is a very simple math question that we are all able to handle it accurately. The above-mentioned question is a ‘Simple Economics’ in our daily lives, while this question did stir a sensation among those who are the children of their parents.

Right, nowadays, it is hard to be a child, in particular, a child of filial piety to one’s parents. The schooling can not be postponed. Work can not be delayed. Friends’ invitations to a gathering party should by no means be declined. The only thing that can be compromised is ‘coming back home to see parents’. The younger generation of Chinese is living an eventful life. However, the above-mentioned cases can be justified reasons for you not to go back home often to see your parents. A netizen said: “ when we are little children, how many times parents had to ask for leave to take care of us. When we were ill, parents asked for leave to send us to see doctors. When we were taking in an important examination (i.e college entrance examination in China), parents asked for leave to wait at the gates of the testing sites to show their selfless love and care. How pathetic parents’ love is! However, how much have Children devoted to their parents?

Certainly, this post does not mean to make Children in China feel guilty. It intends to remind you of something: coming back home often is the common wish of many parents. Is ‘coming back home often’ really a difficult thing? Should ‘coming back home often’ become only a slogan？
