The story of an old man in China looking for a new 'daughter' through the Internet is a hot topic.

She said she would find a woman to take care of her instead of her biological daughter, and provide an apartment and a salary.

According to Chinese media Multiple News and Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, Mamo, who lives in Henan Province, China, recently appeared on a local TV program to reveal his story. She explained that she has two biological daughters, but her eldest daughter wants to break up the relationship, and her younger daughter is mentally disabled and has a difficult life on her own.




Having difficulty walking even 100 meters due to asthma and mobility difficulties, she said she wanted someone to accompany her to the hospital and take care of her daily life, and was looking for a woman to treat her warmly like her daughter.

Ma said he is willing to provide one of the two apartments, his belongings, and 3,000 yuan (about 600,000 won) per month as a salary. She is said to have a deposit of about 400,000 yuan (about 80 million won) and plans to leave another apartment to her younger daughter.

The conflict with her eldest daughter is said to have originated from the issue of raising her granddaughter. The eldest daughter keeps her distance, saying, `I can't take care of my mother because I'm unemployed, and my mother's decision is not my business.' Ma has lost contact with most of her relatives since she divorced her husband when she was young.




She also said she would be willing to write a contract if she played the role of a daughter.

There was a mixed response online. Some have shown willingness to apply, but it seems that they are actually looking for someone to take care of themselves and their younger daughter together", "It is questionable whether he will treat his new daughter well when he does not give property to his eldest daughter.", Housing and pensions alone are difficult to find caregivers to care for two people" Concerns have been raised.

A local lawyer pointed out that the eldest daughter is legally obligated to support her mother, and giving up the right to inherit cannot avoid responsibility. In addition, a person who claims to be a new 'daughter' must enter into a support contract," he added.




This case clearly shows the new care problems brought about by aging and changes in the family structure in Chinese society.
