Hi:
You need to take a quick action otherwise you might be strongly affected by this bankruptcy for the rest of your life. One of my best friends, experienced similar story to yours. At that time, he could not release himself from the traditional Chinese concept that Children should inherit their parent's debt. I rember the total debt was around NT$60000000. The result now: He needs to pay a certain portion of his monthly wage and it seems no hope to pay down the debt in the rest of his life considering the meager salary he receives from governemnt work. He is morally admirable but probably ruins the rest of his life by making that decision.
I hope you can try your best to comfort your parents particularly at this moment. If you won't support them, what kind of support you think they are possibly getting from at this moment ? Also, at their current age, I don't know how easy it will be for them to make a turn around. Thus, I believe they may feel hopeless so your support will be vital to them.
"Support" is not necessarily by way of giving money. Giving them a hope, probably is the best thing you can do for your parents. You know the close tie between you and parents will help weather your family through the storm.
Good luck
