So humans have a natural sense of fear for the old. Age is a very sensitive topic in the Anglo American countries, especially for older people and women. In the United States, people think that old (old) is a synonym for useless (not used), because people are old, their career is over, lost the source of the economy. But in fact, in the United States, the entire population in the old age, the elderly welfare is very limited, leading to a lot of old people living in the lonely, helpless and poverty. As a result, they are afraid of the old, more afraid to hear people say they are old. But in China, people are ashamed to be old. On the contrary the old man is respected, zunlaoaiyou has always been Chinese virtue, is the old road, deep experience, mature. Old does not mean that no use, just the opposite of the United States.
