China is considering making it a legal duty for Chinese citizens to visit their aged parents as the country struggles with the challenges created by a graying population. It is generally accepted that people should visit their aged parents regularly if they live separately. But whether this requirement should be written into law is a controversial matter. What do you think? Write an essay of about 400 words to state your view.

Is Filial Piety Legislation Suitable?
It is reported that China is considering making a law that requires the adult children to visit their aged parents regularly in order to make the elderly parents feel warm at heart and promote the traditional Chinese virtue of filial piety. In my opinion, to formulate such a law is neither suitable nor effective.
In the first place, "filial piety" is a moral obligation which can’t be enforced by law. Whether the adult children should be filial to the parents or not can only be discussed in the moral dimension, not the legal one. To legislate morality is not a good method to solve the widespread "empty nest elderly" problem in China. We should encourage citizens to visit their aged parents as frequently as possible, not through legal enforcement.
In the second place, we will encounter many difficulties or dilemmas in the process of formulating such a law. It is very hard to define "visit their aged parents regularly." How regularly is regularly? Once a week, a month, a quarter or a year? And it is also difficult to define "aged parents" accurately. It is obvious that if the law-makers define them too broadly and casually, the law will result in ineffectiveness because the unfilial children will probably take advantage of a legal loophole. And when the parents and their children really engage in a lawsuit and even finally the parents win the lawsuit, will the parent-child love still exist between them? If the children are forced to pay a regular visit to their parents, I am afraid that such a kind of "visit" is completely unmeaningful and even satirical.
In the third place, the law-makers should consider the reality that many adult children have little opportunity to visit their parents due to all-consuming jobs and few days off. To be filial to the parents is the traditional Chinese virtue which is still advocated and fulfilled by most Chinese people, especially the financially disadvantaged migrant workers, who are most willing to visit their parents frequently, but can’t afford the time and money. It is unwise and unreasonable to force the adult children to visit their parents regularly at the cost of losing their jobs, which will only lead to the deterioration of the lives of both the parents and their children.
Admittedly, the growing number of elderly people in China is really a big headache for the government. We should make efforts to find a good way to solve the problem. However, to formulate such a legal rule is not a good solution. Such enforced visits would be not only pointless but downright uncomfortable for both parties.
