China passed new legislation, on Friday, that requires people visit their elderly parents, "often".
Under the new law, parents who feel neglected or abandoned can sue their children, for not visiting them enough.
The law does not say just how often "often" is.
It was made as an attempt to bring back the importance that family once had, for the Chinese.
Very few assisted living and retirement home options are available, in China, leaving the elderly dependent upon family or charity.
