《English Translation》黄刚: 小花, I recently saw a news report saying that 'raising daughters for old age' is becoming popular in rural areas, with many daughters being more actively involved in caring for their parents than sons. What do you think about this?
陈花: I've heard about it! Didn't people used to say 'a married-out daughter is like spilled water'? Now, many daughters are contributing both money and effort, while sons are often unable to care for their parents due to life pressures.
黄刚: That's right. It's related to urbanization and the declining birth rate. Sons have great pressure to buy houses and support families in cities, while daughters are more delicate in terms of emotion and companionship, and participate more in elderly care.
陈花: But is that fair? Daughters are contributing so much, yet they often don't get their fair share of property distribution. I also heard that in some families, daughters take care of the elderly, but the demolition compensation is still given to the sons.
黄刚: It's indeed not very fair. However, many parents are now beginning to realize that since daughters are also involved in elderly care, they should be considered in property distribution. This is also part of the gradual change in rural concepts.
陈花: But this change is still too slow. For daughters, if they give without seeing a fair return, they'll eventually become disheartened, which may affect family relationships.
黄刚: You're right. In fact, elderly care should be the joint responsibility of both sons and daughters. Whether it's a son or daughter, their contributions should have corresponding returns. Only in this way can filial piety be truly reflected and make the family more harmonious.
陈花: Yes, I hope this concept can spread faster. Daughters taking care of the elderly is already a trend, and society and families should give them more recognition and support.
