If you have parents who are over 60, it’s illegal to not visit them regularly. This is definitely one of the most interesting China facts. In 2013, a law was introduced to allow for the elderly to sue their children, if they fail to meet their parents’ financial and spiritual needs.
In the first case, a 77-year-old woman sued her daughter for neglecting her. The local court ruled that the daughter must visit her mother at least twice a month … Although Confucian respect for the elderly is still deeply engrained in Chinese society, traditional values like filial piety have been weakened by the country’s rush to modernity. It’s also a matter of concern for the government as they grapple with the burden of supporting the growing aging population. By 2050, one-third of Chinese will be over age 65.
