As the picture is vividly in the drawing, even though the time have passed 3 decades, the daughter still company her mother. Just as the caption indicates the forever love of family. No matter what you undergo in your life, maybe you feel happiness , sadness or aloneness etc. But the family still here where we need care for.

The fact, nobody fails to notice this phenomenon, as it is now quite not prevailing in contemporary society. Two fundamental facts could be held accountable. The primary factor lies in independent thinking. The after 90s generations have their own thinking, they extremely keep doing what they love even regardless of their parents suggestions. Secondly, realizing self-worth. May give rise to this social trend that after 90s generations work hardly to realize self-worth in nowadays society. So that they have no time to company their parents.

From my perspective,it is particularly important that we should take actions,which is spending more time with parents. In the meanwhile, I personally believe that some social tools also can work for communication. So let’s share your mood with your family every moment.

As this picture vividly shows, even though 3 decades have passed, the daughter still keeps company to her mother, just as the caption indicates eternal love in one family.

No matter what you undergo in your life, (no matter) whether you feel happy, sad or lonely, family is still there when we need to be cared for. 

In fact, nobody fails to notice this phenomenon, as it rarely happens in contemporary society. Two fundamental facts could be held responsible for that.

The primary factor lies in independent thinking. The post-90s generations have their own way of thinking. They consistently keep doing what they like even regardless of their parents’ opinions.

The second factor is about realizing self-worth. The post-90s generations work hard to achieve better/higher self-worth in nowadays society. So they have no time to keep company to their parents.

From my perspective, it is particularly important that we should take action, such as spending more time with our parents.

However, I personally believe that some social tools can also work for better communication and let us share our mood with our family at every moment.
