This shot of a statue depicting "filial piety (孝)" (a young mother allows her father-in-law to nurse at her breast while her son cheers her on) from the awesomely weird Haw-Par Villa, a Tiger Balm-sponsored statue-garden/Confucianist theme-park in Singapore and Hong Kong.

Steinbeck's Nobel Prize awarded work, "The grapes of Wrath" depicts a scene that a young (American) woman nurses an old starving hobo from Oklahoma. A fragrant mixture of Christian philanthropy and pornography.

I think this is a positive message to others to support your family and respect your mother and father. The other posters here are clearly come from a fragmented MTV music video culture that doesn't have a duty to others.

If the old man for one reason or other needs that kind of nutrition, couldn't she collect her milk in a bowl first?
