The Chinese word 养老 (yǎnglǎo) is composed of two characters: 养 (yǎng) and 老 (lǎo). The character 养 originally meant "to raise" or "to nurture", and it is often used in the context of raising children or animals. The character 老 means "old" or "elderly". When these two characters are combined, they form the word 养老, which literally means "to raise the elderly" or "to provide for the elderly". In modern Chinese, 养老 is used to refer to the concept of养老金 (yǎnglǎojīn), which is a pension or retirement fund that is paid to elderly people in order to support them financially during their retirement years.
