| As an old saying goes，"Filial piety is the first of the hundred virtues（美德）."So you can imagine how important it is for Chinese people to respect their elders.Chinese filial piety supports a kind of good behavior and virtue of the younger people to the elder，just like"crows（乌鸦） feeding back". We have learned this virtue from our parents and grandparents.The elderly have worked hard for their family，society and younger generations.Some of them have brought us the freedom that we now celebrate，while others have made efforts to create better living and working conditions for their children.However，with the development of the times，young people spend less time staying with their family.I'd like to call on that no matter how busy we are，we should spare more time for our parents even if it is a call.

| In China，many schools have activities to carry forward filial piety，such as cooking for parents，helping wash their feet or writing a"thank-you card".By doing these things，we develop stronger love for our parents，which is great!Confucius believed that only if everyone is good to their parents can they be good to other people.Then there won't be many fights.It means that filial piety is not only about loving our parents，but about loving everyone!So I think we all should try our best to be good to our parents.For example，be their side when they feel lonely and help them with the housework.These are all actions of the greatest kindness.
