Good Luck.
China has passed a new law that says people must visit their older relatives. This means older parents or grandparents can sue their kids and grandkids not visiting them. The new law will start July 1, 2013. It is part a new campaign called the Protection the Rights and Interests the Elderly. China says it is so the country’s aging population is not left alone. There have been many stories recently China’s newspapers old people dying alone because their children do not visit them. More than half China's elderly live alone. Even though the law says children have to visit their older relatives "often," it does not say how often "often" is. It also does not say how much the fine is not visiting often.

China is becoming an aging society because its one child per family policy. 1978, the Chinese government told all couples they could have only one child. Some families could have two or more, such as those living the countryside, ethnic minorities, or people who had twins. The Xinhua news agency said that the end of 2011, almost 14 per cent China's population was 60 years old. That's more than 184 million people. This number is increasing because China's rapid economic development. More and more young people are leaving the countryside to work China's cities. Their parents are left alone and have to look themselves. There are very few homes the aged the countryside.
