Recently, one hundred families in the Jiangbei District have been awarded as the Cixiao Family (Cixiao: a traditional Chinese virtue advocating parents to be kind and children filial). One is from the Fanjing Community. Chen Xiaoyu, suffering from cerebral palsy and expected not to live over 20, is now 30 years old. His mother Hong Yiping has been taking care of him and his grandmother. She says that when they get old they will still stay together in the nursing home.
Starting in middle September, the 4th selection of Cixiao Family is aimed to promote traditional virtues, Cixiao culture and values of harmony. As the first Town of Cixiao Culture in China, Jiangbei promotes the traditional virtues by awarding such families. Families that are recommended by community members will be posted on the Internet for public review before getting the reputation.
Here are some examples of the Cixiao Family. Though disabled, Fang Guoxiang takes care of his young child and elderly mother on his own. Cheng Jingfang has looked after her step-father for four years with nothing to complain. Leaders from Jiangbei Women Association said that it was hoped to promote social harmony by setting examples of Cixiao Family, which have gracious moral sentiment.
