Many young people who work away from their hometowns have expressed concern about their parents' well-being.
"My parents live in the countryside. Authorities should provide more preferential policies and subsidies to help this group."
Li Guang, teacher in Kunming, Yunnan province
"Parents need their children's company. I will work hard to bring mine here, but I also hope companies can provide longer leave for family visits."
Yang Tianqi, saleswoman in Dalian, Liaoning province
"My parents-in-law don't want to leave their hometown. As the only child, my husband really worries about them."
Zhang Zhimeng, college employee in Shijiazhuang, Hebei province
"My father died early and my mother, who is in her 60s, lives alone. Local authorities should set up more activity centers for the elderly to help these 'empty nest' folks."
Chen Liangnyu, accountant in Hefei, Anhui province
