Respecting The Old

刘宇杰

China is a country with the virtue（美德） of respecting the old. We have a special festival called Double Ninth Festival（重陽节）. It’s a festival for caring for（关爱） the old people.

I respect the old， too. One day， I found my grandpa’s shoulders hurt a bit. So I took out an acupuncture pot（针灸罐） at once. I was happy to help my grandpa. First， I lighted the moxa stick（艾条） with a match. Then， I put the stick into a pot. When the pot was hot， I let my grandpa lie on the bed. I moved the pot on his back. About two hours later， my grandpa felt better. Now my grandpa never feels painful again.

Respecting the old is the virtue of Chinese people. We all should respect the old and help them anywhere and anytime.
