A public court hearing recently took place in village in rural Sichuan province, observed by nearly all the area's residents.

近日，一場法庭聽證會在四川省的農村舉行，該地區幾乎所有的居民都前往旁聽。

The hearing concerned a 73-year-old women suing her four children for failure to take care of her.

本次聽證會是有關一名73歲的婦女起訴自己的四個孩子未能盡到照顧她的義務。

For the purpose of spreading legal knowledge, the circuit court decided to hear the case on a piece of open farmland.

爲了傳播法律知識，巡迴法院決定在一片開闊的田壩上審理這起案件。

At the "court," the woman demanded to live with her eldest son and his family.

在這一“法庭”上，該婦女要求和她的長子及家人住在一起。

She asked him to provide her with a place to stay, and to give her 30 kilograms of rice every month. She also wanted him to farm her contracted land.

她要求長子提供住處，每個月給她30公斤大米。她還希望他能耕種她的承包田。

On top of that, she demanded that each of her four children provide her an alimony of 100 yuan per month and visit her on her birthday and festivals.

除此之外，她還要求四個孩子每個月爲她提供100元的贍養費，並在她的生日和法定假日前去探望她。

During the hearing, which lasted over an hour, no consensus was reached. The woman's children agreed to provide money, but were unable to agree on who she would live with.

這場持續了一個多小時的聽證會，最終沒有達成共識。這位婦女的孩子們同意出錢，但無法就她與誰住在一起這一問題達成一致。

The judge said a ruling will be delivered on the case before the end of the month.

法官表示將在月底前對案件作出裁決。

Regardless of the verdict, the educational function of the hearing was ruled a success.

無論判決如何，聽證會的教育作用都獲得了成功。

"What impressed me most was that all children have a responsibility to support their elders, no matter if they inherited property from their parents. Married daughters must also be dutiful," one spectator remarked.

一位到場觀衆評論稱：“讓我印象最深的是，所有的孩子，無論他們是否繼承父母的財產，都有義務贍養他們的父母。出嫁的女兒也必須盡職盡責。”
