如果你老了，你愿意住到敬老院去吗？也许对你来说，这是个很简单的问题——家里方便就住家里，敬老院方便就住敬老院呗！但对很多中国老人来说，这个问题并不简单。为什么呢？面子？金钱？还是传统观念？听听对话里丈夫和妻子的争执，也许你就会明白了。

I've made up my mind! I'm determined not to send Mom to live in a retirement home. I've been doing some serious soul-searching lately. It seems like there's a voice inside me that's always shouting ''You're ungrateful!" It's gotten so I'm not even sleeping well!

Do you know how hard it is to find a spot at a nursing home these days? You're actually doing OK, with just one idea at a time. When I thought of how our mom's feet are no good, I even asked a friend to help, and specially found a double room on the first floor. If you really think about what's best for her, hurry up and send her off!

What's the meaning of ''the greatest virtue is filial piety"? How many dirty diapers did our mom change as she brought us up? She worried so much about our prospects, and our marriages. With the savings she earned with a lifetime of sweat and blood, she even bought a house for us. Now it's the other way around, and we have everything.

Don't get excited! I know you're worried Mom would be lonely in a nursing home. But do you think she's happy at home? The two of us are always going out on business. We don't have the time to take care of her. There are professional caregivers and doctors in nursing homes. And there are so many old people together having fun there together-- what's the harm?
