Company

As depicted in the first half of the cartoon, a loving mother held the hand of a little girl thirty years ago. While in the second half, the little girl, who has become an adult, holds her aged mother tightly three decades later. The combination of the two does indicate the connotation of the word "company".

It cannot be denied that parents contribute their countless vigor and energy in the cultivation of their children. Every progress of children is immersed with their parents’ dedication and efforts. As time passes, children become robust grown-ups, while parents get weak and feeble. And this is the very moment for them to change their positions, namely, the former should put their heart and soul to care for the latter. This care not only belongs to the fulfillment of responsibilities, but also functions as the most precious rewards for the latter.

As far as I am concerned, once parents and children can identify their responsibilities in different phases of life and keep in good company with each other, a more harmonious society will be just around the corner.
