Ah, I got this email too. :) It's a very moving story, but not an unfamiliar concept to my friends and me, coming from essentially Asian backgrounds. The whole filial piety thing, and children living what they learn. But I fear that children here are growing up with very little respect and concern for anyone but themselves, who are being raised by their foreign live-in domestic help, and whose parents tell them they can yell at their maids. I wonder what lessons these young ones are learning.
