The elderly are sacred in China.

Legend tells of Jiang Ge -
the pious son.

When war threatened his village,
Jiang Ge escaped with his widowed

mother, carrying her a great
distance on his back.

Arriving in a peaceful town,
they were penniless.

Jiang ge, went to
work then, in rags,

eating only wild grass,
giving all he earned to his mother.

Those who saw Jiang Ge,
praised him for his selflessness.

To them, he'd always reply,

"A son's duty is to
care for his parents."

For centuries, Chinese families
were responsible for caring

for the elderly,

ensuring they aged in comfort,

with dignity.

But times have changed.

80-year-old Ms Kong lives
in rural Duntouyao village,

a former Communist commune 500
kilometres from Shanghai.

She has dementia and Parkinson's
disease and, like an increasing

number Chinese elderly,
she lives alone, with no carer.
