on the eve of the Chongyang Festival, the reporter visited a number of communities, random interviews with more than fifty elderly and thirty or forty children, understand that 70% of the elderly did not intend to celebrate the festival. Many of them also said that in the past few years had passed the Double Ninth Festival for the elderly, and this year may be no exception.
in the community of Ting Yi Street, more than 70 year old Li Lao Tai told reporters that she had never had a Double Ninth Festival in the past few years and felt that this holiday was nothing. "Chung Yeung Festival is not like the Mid Autumn Festival, mother's day and so on, basically can not feel the atmosphere of the festival, there are very few elderly people around this festival." Li Lao Tai said.
during the interview, some children also admitted that they seldom considered giving the old people the Double Ninth Festival. "Double Ninth Festival is not as good as some traditional festivals. For many children, this festival may be just a form." Mr. Gao, who lives in Shui Tian Fu Yuan District, said that this year's Double Ninth Festival, he did not plan to give the elderly specially, but he would buy something that the old man liked to eat.
at the same time, reporters learned that for some empty nesters, the proportion of children visiting before and after the Double Ninth Festival is very small. The residents of the neighborhood committee of the community told reporters that there were more than 10 people in the community empty nest old people. After the festival, their children could visit one or two people, perhaps even 1/5. And the PRI street community residents' committee staff, a number of empty nest elderly children work in the field, there is not much time and energy to go home to visit the elderly is not realistic. "As far as I know, most children will call home and greet the elderly."

[b] social concern is not enough to let the heavy Yang Festival [/b]
revitalization Street Street office staff told reporters that, from the aspect of social concern, the whole society's attention to the festival is not high compared with the Spring Festival, Mid Autumn Festival and so on. "Due to insufficient social attention, in recent years, the festival atmosphere of Chung Yeung Festival has not been strong." In addition, most people know about Chung Yeung Festival, but the number of people who really link the festival with respect for their elderly is less.
Lin Fang, director of the community neighborhood committee of PRI street, told reporters that from the child level, many children are busy and stressed, and it is difficult to spare the elderly for the holidays. "There are still some children working in the field, asking them to ask for leave to go home to visit the elderly, which is very difficult to carry out."

[b] Chung Yeung Festival can consider half day leave [/b]
reporter Wang Zheng, director of the Economic Research Institute of the Ji'nan Academy of social sciences. He believes that in many people's consciousness, the festival is not traditionally regarded as a solemn day of festival. Although the official festival is defined as "old man's Day", many people have not yet adapted and accepted. Besides, mother's day can be a gift, and Spring Festival can be a new year's day. Comparatively speaking, the Double Ninth Festival lacks a clear carrier and expression. Wang Zheng said that this needs a training process, and it needs constant guidance and publicity.
experts from the school of psychology of Beijing Normal University told reporters that the whole society should pay more attention to the elderly and give more attention and support to the "old man's Day" of the Chongqing Festival.
"it's worth considering whether we can give people half a day off on the Double Ninth Festival or let people work earlier." Experts suggest that conditional children can go home to visit or call greetings before the holidays. At the same time, experts believe that we should pay more attention to the hearts of the elderly, understand the needs of the elderly and the spiritual world.
