Recently I re-watched a chinese tv drama... which kinda resonated with my thought of my parents..
I am not sure about American culture, but for chinese, family always comes first, as people always say "Blood is thicker than water." As a chinese, I find it very true. Members in chinese familes are caring, forgivng, and sharing to each other. Since I was small, I was taught that our family always came first. Like my mom said, we cannot choose our family members.. we are connected by fate or "yun" in chinese. There are bonds and ties among us. I will never forget what my mom said, that family is always here for you and will never betray you or do harm to you. This is very true, at least, to me.
Chinese families value education a lot. Parents usually try their best to support their kids' education, without asking for any return. Their worries never ends. After kids' graduation, the parents worry about their kids' jobs, health, and future. All I wanna say is that chinese parents, at least, my parents, have been striving throughout their lives to love their kids... I do feel it. I love my family, and no matter how far we are apart, we are still in ONE.
My mom said to me last nite, "you are our everything."
