答案 The Importance of Filial Piety While different universities and various experts may hold divergent opinions concerning what admission standards would be like, it cannot be argued that filial piety, as one of the most valued virtues and one of the basic moral qualities in Chinese culture, should be listed in the standards to judge whether a student can be admitted to a college. Firstly, it should be noted that as a national moral standard, filial piety lies in the heart of the judgment of a person in China. Filial piety is not just some fancy idea from ancient books. In fact, it is so significant for Chinese people that it is not only frequently mentioned and referred to, but also set as a crucial standard to tell whether a person is virtuous or not. An old Chinese saying goes: "among all the good deeds, filial piety comes first." Since childhood, every Chinese person is educated under such notion. We are told that if we want to be a good person, we should always start with treating our parents well. In this cultural context, it is clear that if one fails to live up to filial piety, he is not qualified as a moral person, let alone a moral student. It is hence not difficult to see that giving emphasis on filial piety is both sensible and fair. Additionally, filial piety is even more significant for elites-to-be college students. College students nowadays are typically more ambitious than before. They hope to become lawyers, doctors or government officials after they graduate. And these positions require greater sense of responsibility and moral integrity. As is known, great accomplishments start with tiny things. How can ordinary people be convinced that our nation is in harmony and stability when people with important duties are not even willing to look after their own parents? How can they treat people around them well without the sense of taking good care of their own parents first? Consequently, filial piety requirement of prospective college students is a reasonable act that is beneficial to the society. From what have been discussed above, it can be concluded that Beijing University’s decision of taking filial piety as the requirement of college admission is a rational and wise one. In a society which regards filial piety as a criterion of deciding whether a person is good enough, it is natural that college students with great expectations should live up to this basic standard.
