There are many holidays and festivals. Dads have Father's Day. Moms have Mother's Day. But do our grandparents have a special festival? Yes, they do! We have Double Ninth Festival as their special day in China. It's a warm festival to show our love and respect for the elderly.
The Double Ninth Festival is a special day for older people in China. It started long ago. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show love and respect to their grandparents.
There are many ways for Chinese people to express their respect. When an older person comes into a room, everyone stands. People are introduced from the oldest to the youngest. When we give a book to an older person, two hands are used. Young people always offer their seats to older people on a crowded subway or bus.
Respecting older people is a tradition in China. That's because the Chinese know that older people have knowledge and experience that young people can learn. Chinese people are proud of being old.
In Western countries, however, older people seldom think they are old. They are called "seniors" instead of "old people". They would rather do everything themselves. Even after retirement(退休), they take up hobbies, part-time jobs and new activities to keep bodies working well.
Westerners respect their older people, too. Usually, seniors don't have to buy tickets for trains and buses. They are given discounts(打折) in the stores and restaurants.
But Western seniors don't often live with their children——they live alone. For holidays, the family usually get together at the parents' home, and a great smile and a warm hug for their parents are enough for grown children to show their respect.
