5. Chinese people make caring for the elderly a major priority.

This is not only respectable and admirable, it is truly inspiring to see. The importance that Chinese people put on caring for parents in their old age is something that isn't quite the priority in the West. Perhaps most people in the West have adequately prepared for their latter years of life and don't need as much assistance from their children. But what inspires me most about Chinese people is that there is truly a heartfelt connection that motivates them to care for their elderly parents - a family strength of connectedness.
