Want to know the feeling of having Asian parent? Watch this: youtu.be/TsSP-nHjZ0Q

I know this is a video for fun. I can watch and laugh on other videos as a native Chinese. I do appreciate how this youtuber mimics the Asian style.

But this one? I can't even smile. I watched half of the video and have to close the tab. I can't laugh on this video, since the situation is similar enough to bring back those memories when I was young. Of course now my parent will never treat me like this. But when I was young and can't rely on myself, (aka if they abandoned me, I would die absolutely), they did the same humiliation to me. Yes, I called that humiliation, I think by doing so, they built their dignity by destroying mine.

As for why I can't just leave my parent and move to another country, I thought, they gave me life, so I serve them to death. That's all. I would never repay them for raising me up, they didn't do a good job. But they do feed me. And I think I do need to serve them to death. That's all I want/need to do.

@skyblond It just looks painful overall.

I also think children owe their parents nothing. It's the parents who wanted a child, the child never asked to be born. The parent should take care of a child until they are independent and that's it. Anything else from either is courtesy.
