As is vividly shown in the two drawings, thirty years ago a young mother walked hand in hand with her little daughter, while nowadays the grown-up daughter is supporting her aged mother arm in arm. The caption reads “Accompanying Each Other”.

The pictures convey a warm message: filial love is a two-way bond. Parents devote their best years to raising their children, and when they grow old, it is the children’s turn to look after them. This mutual care is the very glue of a family. Yet in modern society, many young people are so occupied with work that they spare little time for their aging parents, who may feel deeply lonely at home.

From my perspective, respecting and caring for the elderly is a traditional virtue we should never abandon. We should spend more time accompanying our parents. Only when the warmth of giving and receiving keeps flowing can every family live in harmony.

As is vividly shown in the drawing, four friends sit around a dinner table laden with dishes. Yet, instead of talking to one another, each lowers his or her head, eyes fixed on a mobile phone. The warm meal has quietly become a gathering of isolated screen-watchers.

The picture mirrors a widespread phenomenon in the mobile era. Phones, originally designed to connect people, now drive them apart at the very same table. Absorbed in the virtual world, we ignore the friend beside us, and the warmth of face-to-face talk is gradually fading. A case in point is many family dinners today: everyone clicks and scrolls, but almost no one chats.

It is high time we put down the phone. When gathering with family and friends, we should look up, talk more and cherish the people right in front of us. Only by reconnecting in reality can we rescue human bonds from the cold screen.

As is vividly shown in the two pictures, in the left panel a father lounges in an armchair watching TV, shouting to his son “Study hard!”, while the boy sits at the desk looking uneasy. In the right panel, however, father and son are both working diligently at their own desks. The caption reads: “Rather than merely making demands, set an example.”

The pictures highlight a truth about family education: parents’ behavior speaks louder than their words. Many parents are eager to see their children excel, yet they themselves spend the whole evening on the sofa. Children learn by imitation, not by lectures. If a father complains about study while glued to the television, his demand sounds hollow. Conversely, parents who keep reading and working quietly set a role model that their children willingly follow.

From my perspective, education is largely a matter of influence. Parents should first improve themselves rather than simply order their children around. Only when adults walk the talk can they raise a self-disciplined next generation.

As is vividly shown in the two pictures, in the left panel a man leans back comfortably before a whole wall of books, proudly saying “I have so many books!” In the right panel, however, another young man sits at a desk with a single open book before him, and makes up his mind: “I will try to read twenty books this year.”

The contrast conveys a thought-provoking message: owning books is not the same as reading them. A huge collection that merely decorates the shelf brings no real benefit. Knowledge comes only when we actually open a book and digest it. Sadly, many people take pride in amassing possessions while rarely turning a page. Possession without action is nothing but vanity.

From my perspective, it is far better to read a few books thoroughly than to own a whole library untouched. We should turn our “having books” into “reading books”. Only by putting knowledge into practice can we truly enrich our minds.
