50 touching stories that moved China, brought into the recording studio of The World's Parents, and spread to thousands of households. Some guests even knelt before their parents on-site and couldn’t stand up. Many people cried while watching the program, saying, "We should do more for our parents and spend more time with them." Crying is not just sadness; it is more about being moved. We strive to let this emotion open the conscience that has been covered by material desires and sweep away the sincerity buried by money. Therefore, we compiled the touching stories that moved the Chinese people in Filial Piety and the Way and its series of books, using heartfelt stories to convey the deepest love in the world:
