Mom eat your soup while it's hot, OK?

I was out riding my bike on a cool and sunny Sunday (December 7). Biking in China guarantees that you'll find something along your route that will stop you in your tracks. This is one of several statues in a Tongling cemetery. They all seem to represent different forms of "filial piety", that is, respect for elders, obviously a highly cherished virtue in Chinese society.
If you've ever cared for an elderly relative, you will understand what this guy could be saying.
