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.

漫畫中生動地展示了一對老人帶著失望與悲傷坐在椅子上，因為沒人回來和他們一起慶祝節日。雖然他們收到了子女的許多禮物，但他們感到非常孤獨，也沒什么胃口，因為他們最需要的并非這些物質的東西，而是子女們的關愛。
在現代社會中，年輕人看起來如此忙碌，以至于無法抽空來陪伴父母。他們大多搬出去獨自居住，每天忙于自己的事務。在平常的日子里，他們以忙為借口，不愿意花時間去探望父母。在一些節日，他們可能只留一點時間去看望父母或是如漫畫中所示的僅僅送些禮物表示心意而無法與父母團聚。他們認為禮物可以代表他們的愛意，但是，對于含辛茹苦把他們養育大的父母來說，這些禮物遠遠不是他們所期望的。
隨著經濟的快速發展，年邁的父母們感到越來越孤獨與不快。因此，作為子女，無論多忙，我們都應該花時間與父母聊天，陪伴他們，因為他們曾經給了我們無私的愛，我們應當以同樣的愛回報父母。
