Who Should Be Responsible for Our Old People?
As the result of birth control and improvement of medical care, supporting the old has become an issue of China today.
Because of the different culture and traditio, supporting the old is different from country to country. For instance, British is a developed country and the problem of supporting the old is solved very well these years. The government takes a series of measures to solve the problem and also pays a lot of money for the old every year in order to make them live better.
In China, because of its tradition, the old people are mostly supported by their children. But our government and our society are taking measures to support the old.
As the development of economy and society is so rapid that we believe the system of our country to support the old would be perfect one day.
[點評]
贍養老人是一大社會問題，尤其在中國。作者循序漸近地閘述了自己的觀點。先講了英國對此問題解決的如何好，接下來說明中國的傳統觀念：子女應贍養老人。但作者所支持的觀點還是：政府應解決好贍養老人問題。

誰應該對我們的老人們負責任?
作為計畫生育和醫療改革的結果，贍養老人已成為今日中國的一個有爭議的問題。
因為不同的文化和傳統，贍養老人的問題各國各不相同。例如，英國是一個發達國家，贍養老人的問題，這些年一直解決得很好。政府採取大量措施以便更好地解決問題，並且每年都花費大量資金以便使老人們生活得更好。
在中國，因為傳統的原因，老人總是由子女贍養。但是我們的政府和社會都在採取措施，來解決贍養老人這一問題。
隨著經濟的迅速發展，社會的快速進步，我們相信我國的贍養老人製度有一天也將完善。
