Hu Yong's care experience and Ge Mei's book "Who Lives in a Nursing Home" show the challenges of China's aging society. Ge Mei's field research reveals the lives of the elderly in Kunming nursing homes, such as Uncle Tang, a disabled old worker on the Dongchuan Railway Project, and Grandpa Zhang, an old man who was labeled a "rightist" for political reasons. The book also describes Grandma Li, who remained optimistic despite the hardships of the Japanese attack and political movements.

Providing care for the elderly: individual challenges and social responsibilities With the advent of an aging society, the challenges faced by individuals have become increasingly prominent. Professor Hu Yong's self-narration not only reveals the hardships of being a caregiver, but also reflects the elderly's deep need for dignity and care. Ge Mei's research further explores the living conditions of the elderly in nursing homes and their complex emotions about filial piety and family affection. These stories make us think about how to provide more dignified and more in line with the needs of the elderly at the policy and social levels, and how to create a more supportive and understanding environment in families and communities. Across Cultures: An International Perspective on Elderly Care in China Yale Dr. Ge Mei's field research provides us with a unique perspective to observe the living conditions and care experiences of the elderly in China. Her observations not only involve the elderly's attitudes towards death, but also their attitudes towards life and their interactions with caregivers. By comparing elderly care with other cultural backgrounds, we can have a deeper understanding of the needs and expectations of the elderly in China, and how to better respect and meet these needs in care practices. The Voice of the Elderly: Seeking Social Recognition and Self-worth In the book Who Lives in the Nursing Home, Ge Mei describes how the elderly face the challenges of self-worth and social recognition in their later years. Uncle Tang's story shows us that even with physical disabilities and limited living environments, the elderly still desire to maintain their dignity and social roles. Grandpa Zhang's example reflects how the elderly can maintain their self-worth by reducing their demands on others while maintaining a harmonious relationship with their children. These stories inspire us to think about how to better understand and support the social recognition and self-worth of the elderly at the social level. Intergenerational inheritance: a new interpretation of modern filial piety In traditional Chinese culture, "filial piety" as a core value has always been emphasized. However, with the development of society and changes in family structure, the connotation of modern filial piety is also changing. Ge Mei's research and Professor Hu Yong's self-narration show us that in their interactions with their children, the elderly often choose to reduce their own demands in order to reduce the burden on their children. This change in communication mode reflects the delicate balance between balancing harmony and self-expression in intergenerational relationships. This also reminds us how to respect traditional filial piety while adapting to the changes in modern society and establishing a healthier and more supportive intergenerational relationship.

Civility controversy in public places: thoughts triggered by a car scratch In an ordinary traffic scratch incident in Hangzhou, the radical behavior of the female driver involved has attracted widespread public attention. This is not only a problem of traffic accident handling, but also touches the boundary of public morality and personal responsibility. The violent behavior of the parties in the conflict may be emotional catharsis caused by cognitive dissonance. When faced with property losses, people often have strong emotional reactions, but social norms require us to solve problems in a civilized and rational way. This internal and external contradiction may lead the parties to take extreme actions. At the same time, it also reflects the public's expectations for civilized behavior and the strong condemnation of those behaviors that violate this expectation. The choice behind the Internet hot spots: How the media shapes our focus The incident of "Porsche female driver smashing the door and shouting after crashing" quickly became a hot search, showing the gating role of the media in selecting news reports. The media aroused great interest in the public by highlighting the conflict and drama of this incident. This choice not only reflects the judgment of news value, but also may affect the public's views on social phenomena. Among the many incidents that occurred, the media chose this incident that could trigger widespread discussion due to its particularity, thereby invisibly guiding the public's attention and discussion topics. Internet justice and public opinion supervision: social reflection triggered by a traffic accident In this traffic accident, online public opinion quickly formed a general condemnation of the behavior of the female driver involved. This strong social repercussion may cause those who hold different opinions to choose silence, thereby strengthening the voice of mainstream opinion. The spiral of silence theory tells us that when people express their opinions, they will consider whether their position is widely supported by society. In this process, the Internet has become a powerful public opinion field, which not only amplifies the voice of the public, but may also have an impact on the psychology and behavior of the people involved. When conflict meets the law: the collision of social norms and personal behavior In this incident, the behavior of the female driver involved may have been influenced by her social identity and identity. Social identity theory points out that the behavior of an individual is often consistent with the behavioral norms of the group to which he believes he belongs. In this case, if a person believes that he belongs to a group with a higher social status, he may unconsciously show a sense of superiority, thereby taking a more intense or uncompromising attitude in the conflict. However, everyone is equal before the law, and social norms require that everyone should abide by the rules and be rational and restrained when dealing with conflicts. This incident reminds us that no matter what the social status of an individual is, we should follow social norms and solve problems in a civilized and rational manner.
