CHENGDU - China's first filial piety museum, a key virtue in Chinese culture, opened on Saturday in Qionglai city of Southwest China's Sichuan province.
The museum was funded by more than 500 local residents and enterprises with an investment of more than eight million yuan ($about 1.29 million). It shows the culture of filial piety, stories of dutiful sons and daughters in ancient and modern China via objects, photos and videos.
Some heroes and heroines of the stories visited the museum's opening Saturday. To realize their mother's dream of seeing outside world, Wang Kai and Wang Rui from Northeast China made a cart by themselves, travelled over 18,000 km with their mother and left their footprints in 17 provinces.
"In order to make more people be good to their parents, we have called on five families to embark on a new journey last April. We visited Shanghai, Beijing and Hainan Island. The oldest traveller is a 102-year-old grandma," Wang Rui said.
