    According to statistical data in 2006 on NA issues in 8 cities and provinces, every year, there are 2.3% of families with physical violence, 25% of those with spiritual violence and 30% of couples with obligatory sexual relations. The fact that descendants maltreat their parents and grandparents and the parents ill-treat their kids has drawn public concerns.
