China has entered a period of four old people ,two young people and a child.My family is a typical one.My parents are living in another city which is a bit far away.i am working in a different city.when they are ill,the problems are turning out .my mother is too weak to look after my father.i am engaged in my work,which makes me unable to take my duty.the most serious problem is my parents' old aging.

I guess that is also a disadvantage of a small family. Although they are practical in many ways but then when children tend to grow up and live their own lives the family unit becomes fragmented and the support system is not present anymore in the family or in your case a very difficult situation already.

I agree with you.In China,the medical system has not been completed yet.It resulted in many social problems.people are concerning about being old.
