As is vividly depicts in the cartoon, old parents are sitting on the coach with disappointment and sadness, because no one comes back to celebrate with them. Although they received a lot of presents from their children, they feel very miserable and have no appetite, since what they want most is not such material stuffs but the care and love from their children and grandchildren.
Nowadays, young men look so busy and independent in modern society that they will never feel free to live with their parents. They move out and mind their own business every day. On usual days, they would not like to take their time to visit their parents with the excuses of busyness. On some festival days, they probably share a little time to drop in their parents or even just send some presents but don’t show up personally like what the cartoon above illustrates. They think that presents can represent their love, however, to the parents, who overcame a lot of difficulties to bring them up, those stuff are far away from what they really hope for.
With the rapid pace of economic development, our old parents feel more and more lonely and unhappy. However busy we may be, we should spend more time talking with them and accompanying them, because they once gave us so much selfless love that we should return them the same from the bottom of our heart.

漫画中生动地展示了一对老人带着失望与悲伤坐在椅子上，因为没人回来和他们一起庆祝节日。虽然他们收到了子女的许多礼物，但他们感到非常孤独，也没什么胃口，因为他们最需要的并非这些物质的'东西，而是子女们的关爱。
在现代社会中，年轻人看起来如此忙碌，以至于无法抽空来陪伴父母。他们大多搬出去独自居住，每天忙于自己的事务。在平常的日子里，他们以忙为借口，不愿意花时间去探望父母。在一些节日，他们可能只留一点时间去看望父母或是如漫画中所示的仅仅送些礼物表示心意而无法与父母团聚。他们认为礼物可以代表他们的爱意，但是，对于含辛茹苦把他们养育大的父母来说，这些礼物远远不是他们所期望的。
随着经济的快速发展，年迈的父母们感到越来越孤独与不快。因此，作为子女，无论多忙，我们都应该花时间与父母聊天，陪伴他们，因为他们曾经给了我们无私的爱，我们应当以同样的爱回报父母。
