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 others. They even don't want to be offered seats by others.
Westerners 9 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.
