While Tan Mintao approves of this Chinese tradition， he points out that the weak elderly care system in China is certainly a concern of most Chinese:

　　当中国人认为把老人送入养老院是一种耻辱的时候，我想，更多折射的是我们的养老体系还很脆弱，经不起风吹雨打，真正需要建立的社会救助制度还没有建立，那谈何让年轻人放心把老人送入养老院呢？

　　While the Chinese regard sending old people to nursing homes as a shame， I think this is more a reflection of the fragile elderly care system. With an effective social security system yet to be built， nursing home is simply not a reliable option for old people.

　　#4 Save More

　　Following the financial crisis， it is a consensus that the US needs to save more. Here again， China， a society that has practised personal financial prudence for centuries， is a model for the US.

　　Xu Ben points out what the Americans fail to recognize:

　　美国人似乎并不知道一般中国人为什么那么怕花钱。与其他消费相比，他们不能不面对更基本的生存需要：买房子、交学费、医疗费。美国人看来也不知道，也有不节俭的中国人，他们能花几十万，上百万买一条藏獒，并由奔驰、宝马、奥迪等几十辆名车组成的豪华车队接近家门。

　　Seems the Americans don’t know why the Chinese are so afraid to spend money. Compared with other consumptions， they cannot but worry about more basic needs: housing， education and health care. Americans also are unaware that there are lavish Chinese， spending a million to buy a Tibetan Mastiff， or a fleet of Mercedes， BMW and Audi for their own travel.

　　This echoes a point made by Tan Mintao:

　　这些喜欢储蓄的群众多是对未来生活保障缺乏信心的广大群众。

　　For the general public， saving much is due to a lack of confidence in future livelihood.
