Answer 1

1. Filial piety, as described in the document, was an obligation in traditional Chinese family systems where children were expected to care for their parents' needs and display obedience and respect. Young people disliked filial piety as they perceived it as a tool used by the older generation to restrict and limit the freedom of action of the younger generation.2. During the May Fourth Movement, young people rejected filial piety through various acts of rebellion. Examples mentioned in the document include a young man abandoning his own name and adopting the title "He-you-I," and a young girl cutting her hair short, rejecting the notion of having a family name. Additionally, some individuals went to the extent of writing letters to their fathers, stating that they would no longer recognize them as their fathers and emphasizing equality and friendship instead of traditional familial ties.
