Does the legislation of 'frequently visiting home' reflect humanization？
Time:2025-09-01 Views:1329
Recently, the Standing Committee of the Liaoning Provincial People's Congress reviewed and passed the "Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly in Liaoning Province", which clearly stipulates in Article 31 that caregivers should fulfill their spiritual obligations to the elderly. If they do not live with the elderly, they should regularly greet and visit them. This is the first time in the country that the obligation of caring for the elderly as a caregiver has been included in local regulations. The Regulation will come into effect on October 1, 2008.
Filial piety belongs to a moral category. And elevating this moral constraint into a legal system aims to promote a concept of humanistic care throughout society, highlighting the humanization of the rule of law. It also pioneered the legalization of the obligation of support, which is worth looking forward to.
In the common thinking of ordinary people, laws and regulations display a sacred and inviolable "face", with seriousness, solemnity, and "indifference" as their basic appearances, and rarely a warm and friendly side. In fact, this is a bias and misreading of laws and regulations. Laws and regulations have both strict characteristics and caring connotations, but they have been ignored in the long-term operation process.
In recent years, with the deepening of the people-oriented concept, humanistic care has become an important indicator for measuring the harmonious development of society. In legislation, more emphasis is placed on this humanistic care, which has become a demand for individual interests in society. The Regulations on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of the Elderly were born in this context. Therefore, rather than being a local regulation, it is more accurate to say that the development of the legal system has taken a big step towards humanization.
In fact, in the context of increasingly weak moral constraints, "often going home to see" has become a bitter topic, and it also needs to elevate filial piety to a legal system, so as to constrain, regulate and supervise it, and make it a conscious action of people. Nowadays, due to differences in lifestyle and values, the generation gap between the elderly and their children is getting deeper and the common language is becoming less and less. Especially for children who work outside, due to? In terms of career, apart from phone greetings, it is difficult to have time to accompany the elderly and inquire about their well-being throughout the year, which makes their spiritual life very lonely and desolate despite having no worries about food and clothing. Eat less? It's okay, as long as you have a happy life. "The elderly also hope that their children can" come home often to see.
Therefore, on the premise of not violating the law, legislating to "often go home and have a look" not only brings regulations closer to people's lives and is more humane, but also helps to regulate and constrain people's moral behavior. Although the effectiveness of implementation still needs to be verified, it is a beneficial attempt to humanize legislation. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
