The problem of old age is known as one of the most serious problem in China. In today's China,the old people can be seen everywhere. By the end of 2013, the number of old people in China has been over 200 million,and it will increase more and more in the future. Too many old people can bring a great burden to the medical care and society.It;s time for Chinese government to find way to balance the pressure from the fast rapid of new inborn and heavy burden of the old.

With the development of economy, the rise in people's living standards and the improvement of medical conditions, people are living longer and longer. Furthermore, birth rates are falling as the pace of population growth slows down. As a result, the number of old people in China is experiencing an increase. Though the increase will cause manifold social and economic consequences, we can take effective measures to deal with it. So I believe a bright tomorrow for old people will be achieved through efforts of every person.
