College Students and New Elderly: Two-way Empowerment in Modern Filial Piety Education
Abstract
In the context of the rapid development of modern society, college students, as the younger generation, no longer merely show traditional respect and care when interacting with the new elderly. The new elderly possess abundant resources in life experience and wisdom, which complement the vitality and innovative characteristics of college students. Through communication and interaction with the new elderly, college students can draw valuable life experience and wisdom from them, helping themselves better adapt to social changes and face challenges. At the same time, college students can provide the new elderly with technical support and professional knowledge, facilitating the elderly’s integration with the times. This bidirectional empowerment relationship is not only conducive to inheriting and promoting traditional filial piety culture but also promotes communication and understanding between different age groups, building a more harmonious and inclusive social atmosphere. Therefore, the interactive relationship between college students and the new elderly is not only an evolution of the concept of filial piety but also a new model of intergenerational communication and joint growth, injecting new vitality and momentum into the development of society.
