This description gives people a feeling of poor quality. Because many old people don't have much education now, when China was just founded, poor people couldn't even provide meals effectively, let alone go to school to learn from teachers. In this living environment, they can only learn some life skills with their parents, and parents have no time to ask about the shaping of their children's character. As my grandmother said, it is good to feed four children all day long.
On the other hand, children nowadays are versatile and sensible. Under the education of parents, they will take the initiative to give up their seats. Therefore, I think that relying on the old to sell the old is still complacent because of the education level.
Regarding how to treat such people, I think we should give enough respect to the elderly and not care about things that we can't control. First of all, they are our ancestors, and we should keep our proper manners. Secondly, there is a generation gap between these old people and us. We can't understand them when we talk to them. Some things pass in one step, and it's no use talking more.
In addition, some old people are cute and cannot be generalized. Just like my grandmother, she is very kind and lovely. She will pursue fashionable things, and the important thing is that she is absolutely easy to get along with. In a word, I think we should be tolerant and let go of those who rely on the old to sell the old.
