When I was learning about the cultural differences between China and the West in cross-cultural communication, I was recommended this movie by my teacher. The biggest feeling after watching it was that there are big differences in Chinese and American family education methods.
Chinese parents always seem to like to treat their children as their own possessions and works that can be shown off. In the way of family education, they stand in the position of dictators invariably. They require their daughters to be perfect and outstanding everywhere. All expectations are placed on them, and they want them to have all the qualities that Chinese people think are good: humble and serious, hard-working and hard-working... This is the epitome of most Chinese parents wanting their children to become dragons and their daughters to become phoenixes.
However, their children, because they grew up in the United States, are deeply influenced by American culture, have their own ideas, and hope to have an equal relationship with their parents like the American children around them, rather than obeying their parents like a Chinese-style family. s arrangement. But their mothers educate their children that they "must obey." So daughters resent their mother's tyranny. Several families only gradually understood each other's thoughts after a series of head-on conflicts. Some families even paid too much for it, and it took life and death to understand their difficulties. So I don't agree with the traditional Chinese family education "love you are hard to say". There should be a positive communication between parents and children, pointing out the differences of views between the two sides, respecting differences, and tolerant of each other. Children will also have A strong sense of identity, which I think is what most young people need.
By the way, the female characters in the movie have their own charms, especially when Yingying is moved by the playboy's provocation, the daughter's expression on her face is fascinating.
