About

The Chinese word "扶老携幼" is formed by directly combining two verb-object constructions: "扶老" (support the old) and "携幼" (lead the young), where the verbs (support) and (lead) each act upon their objects (the elderly) and (the young), resulting in a parallel phrase that literally describes aiding both age groups.
