You said as you are not Chinese. If your parents couldn't move when they are very old, who could take care of them, you want just give some money to them? money is nothing important for old people. And, did you expect your son do same to you, could you imagine how pity you will be when you are old.
when they are too old, they should move to where their children live and stay with them, or if they don't want to, they can either hire a maid by themselves or by their children. but the children don't have the obligation to sacrefice their own life and career just because they have to take care of their parents, because everyone only have their life once and they have the right to live it and the responsibility to take care of it by themselves. As for me, I will always be independent (financially and mentally) and take care of myself, maybe hire someone to take care of me physically when I am too old. but I will never ask my children to sacrifice their life just for me, coz that will be too selfish. in my opinion, those parents who force their children to return to china just because they want to be taken care of and don't want to go to US is cruel and selfish. I am sorry if this is offensive.
of for you

I think so, yes. when I decided to come back, they were happy for sure,as I did.but they would never require me to come back to take care of them. because everybody has his own life, and it is his right and responsibility to live the full of it. Of course if I chose to stay in US, I would ask them to go there and stay with me.

I agree with you, there is nothing right or wrong when you are the children. but I still think it is not right if parents think their children should sacrifice their life and career to go back to china and take care of them. in my opinion, it is kind of selfish. btw, you might be right that when I am very old, I will prefer to stay in my own place and at the same time get my children to stay around me and take care of me, but I will also know that this is not my right to require that. if they want to do it that way, it is great, but if not, so be it.

When you are very old, and have problem to take care yourself, it's not fun to live in this world any more. Why do u want others sacrifice their fun life for yor not fun life. It's so selfish.

I will not ask my son do this, but if he didn't do this, it means he is a selfish man, do you agree? In China, usually one's parents certificate all of their time and energy to him. As my opinion, when he grew up if he couldn't take are of his parents, it's totally selfish. I will not learn western people, what they are good is only science, nothing more.
fun
