There are many festivals around the world. Dads have Father's Day. Mums have Mother's Day. But do our grandparents have a 1 ? Yes, they do.
The Double Ninth Festival is a 2 day for old people in China. The festival is on lunar September 9th. On this day, people show 3 and respect (尊敬)for their grandparents.
Respecting old people is a tradition in China. There are many ways for Chinese people to 4 their respect. When an old person enters a room, everyone should stand up. Also, people are introduced from the 5 to the youngest. When we give something to an old person, two hands are used. The old usually don't have to buy tickets for buses and young people always 6 their seats to old people on a crowded subway or bus.
However, in western countries, old people have 7 lifestyles from those in China. They don't often live with their children—they live 8 . They don't want to get help from 9 . They even don't want to be offered seats by others.
Westerners still respect old people. For holidays, families usually 10 at the grand-parents' homes. A great smile and a warm hug are enough for grown children to show their respect.
