"Qingliu" in Chinese temples provides elderly with free food, clothing, housing and transportation. Two conditions are necessary for settlement.

Such well-known words as "respect old and love young", "old and old... old people are old people" are traditional virtues of our Chinese nation. Population aging in our society is still relatively serious and most young people don't like to go home and work right after college, and they all want to go outside to pursue their beautiful life.

There are also many filial children who will take their parents to their side if possible, but many parents are used to their living environment and they may not be able to adapt to another place, which will cause many problems, so many parents still prefer to stay in their hometown. These children can only return to their parents during holidays.

There are also some elderly people who do not want to cause trouble for their children, and in order to make their lives more comfortable, they will prefer to spend their old age safely in their hometown. However, as parents get older and their physical problems gradually get worse, living alone will come with many safety hazards that make their children feel uncomfortable.

Currently, some bright children will hire nannies for their parents to provide for their livelihood, and some will send their parents to nursing homes.

There's an old saying that children should be relied upon in old age. Some children are caring and will support their parents, while some children do not want to support their parents. These old people still have to rely on their parents. I work to support myself and when I get old I have to farm and work to support my basic life.
