The article entitled "Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior". Very interesting read and it has been generating many discussions on
cultural difference and parenting. I think the most interesting thing is that though it's a bit outrageous and extreme when you read it once
but i can somehow relate to the little moments of my own memory and experience. I love my mom, she is more than a superstar.
ho! you have no idea. I have a super hardcore mother. Look at me! She made me become the most rebellious yet rule-abiding player in this
society. She used to kicked my brother's ass everyday, hardcorely, and now as I recall it, I simply remember I didnt want to be beaten up
like that. So i behaved very well, up till teenage. Then I lead the riots everywhere. haha. One very big reason, on one could have given me
a good reason why we should follow the stupid rules like everyone else. But, I learned why after I came to Europe. I think a mixture between
hardcore Taiwanese discipline and rational German openness will be very ideal to shape the next generation for me.
my parents are hardcore too, i remember i was the 2nd place at class and got 94 on my math exam. My dad came home, took my exam and asked
"you don't know how to do it or you miscalculate it?" I said I miscalculated it. and I was punished for 6 hits in hand (1 point for 1).
but i never feel regret and i think it's wrong for anyone to judge parenting under different cultural setting
hitting kids when they miss a few points in the very few events in their life is wrong. I had the same experience. turned out. I had to
learn how to BREAK the rules so badly in high school. not good! and there is nothing wrong with making mistake!!!
