Why does China preach respecting the old and loving the young, but also says everyone is equal?

Everyone is equal and has two levels, formal equality and substantive equality. General legal provisions state that everyone is equal before the law, which is formal equality. But formal equality alone is not enough. Due to the different physiological structures of men and women, men and women are different in many aspects. If you ask them to do the same job and receive the same treatment, is it equal? Therefore, our country has the Women and Children Protection Law to specifically protect the rights and interests of women and children. This is essentially equal.

Your question does not involve the legal issue of equality for all. You should think more from the perspective of family harmony. Reflect on your usual attitude towards the elderly. What is your tone when you speak! Although you helped her, did you care from the bottom of your heart? You thought you were doing her a favor by going downstairs to get the newspaper. When you were little, she fed you, dressed you, and washed your diapers. Who was she helping?

Maybe your grandma didn’t take care of you when you were little, but after all It’s your grandma, the blood is thicker than water. You brought the newspaper up from downstairs and were still whining and complaining. Do you think it's an older person's problem? Young people!
