The 2025 National Exemplary Filial Piety Selection Event has begun! To
promote filial piety and reward exemplary acts of filial devotion, the Ministry
of the Interior organizes this annual event, inviting everyone to share
heartwarming stories of filial piety. From now until March 10, nominations can
be submitted to the township (town, city, district) office, the school, or
organization where the nominee is located. Local governments will conduct
preliminary selections by April 21, after which the Ministry of the Interior
will hold a final selection to choose 30 national exemplary filial piety
models.
The Ministry of the Interior stated that the government has long been
committed to promoting filial piety, actively discovering and recognizing acts
of filial devotion from all corners of society. The aim is to spread a positive
and uplifting spirit, encouraging the people to practice filial piety, so that
it originates from the heart and creates a ripple of goodness from within,
contributing to a warm and harmonious society. In response to changes in social
dynamics, this year's selection is divided into five categories:
"Long-term Caregivers," "Effective Resource Utilizers,"
"Assistance Achievers," "Collaborative Effort," and
"Visible Filial Piety." These categories aim to present the diverse
forms of filial piety. The selected models will be honored at a later date and
will receive a trophy and a cash prize of NT$50,000. For those from low-income
or disadvantaged families, an additional NT$30,000 grant will be provided.
The Ministry of the Interior emphasized that the presence of family
members is an important force in stabilizing the family, and we should cherish
the time spent with family during the Lunar New Year. It is an opportunity to
practice filial piety in a timely manner and work together to create moments
filled with love and care. This will allow the virtue of filial piety to
continue in every family and take root in the hearts of individuals. For more
