Yes, the mother too stopped to give a lift to a person who has no money to buy a bus fare to go home. The 83th Brigade of the PLA was sent to Zhengzhou, Henan Province to help with the flood relief and another Kiwi Andy had visited the flood affected areas and saw first hand teams of people from different provinces pulling together to clear the mud and debris and working throughout the days and nights to help the region. So heart warming as a socialist, Marx opined about the altruistic socialist person to be created and this is in practice.

Very matured young man. Many at his age are lost and rebellious. His grandma and mother taught him life lessons well. He lives by experiencing it in his daily life. Older generation went through hardship and poverty so they will always advise younger generation to cherish food. Chinese upbringing to value family, community and help others. Father has more Western values and individual thinking. He will grow up to be a good man.

I'm now an old English woman, & was similarly taught by the example of my parents who lived through the great depression in an area which was badly affected. I was a child during post WW2 austerity - nothing approaching the devastation China experienced. I am totally convinced that it is the right way to live, but there seem to be few of us left now, & I feel a misfit in my own country. We made so many mistakes that China has avoided thus far. I am very sad to hear that many young people are lost & rebellious. In my own country, as a stereotype, I notice not only a lack of good parenting for several reasons, but when not at school, parents take them to recreational activities still with their own peer group. Thus they suddenly enter the adult world without any experience of it & feel lost. The only adults they have met are parents & teachers. I find that the few children I know who mature, have had experience with other adults often watching them at work as they chat. IMO children need to learn much more than academic attainment. It's a difficult one. They need education to get a good job in the city, & lead a better life style which is what all parents hope for their children and they need to acquire other skills. I suspect that Richard has matured so well because of his experience in the adult world through his travels with his father. Yes, much much better than summer camps.

Humble understatement of him to say that he is learning English. His English might be not as perfect as it whould have been, had he grown up in an anglophone country, but he has no problems to express his thoughts and his pronunciation is neat. It also seems like he is really relaxed talking in English, not anxious. I think he accepted the translation offer when speaking about his grandma out of sheer politeness, no real need to do so. His English is really good. Good boy! I hope, he will have a long and happy life.

This is a fundamental how Chinese family and tradition is alike regardless where a Chinese is. The basic reason of the conflicts between the Western countries and China are that different in fundamental ideology such as how one perceive about life. I strongly recommend Westerners to learn about "道理" which these are the two characters which serves as the fundamental how Chinese lives and communicates. If one does not grasp what 道理 is, he or she may find it very hard to understand the Chinese culture. Literally translated, 道理 means Pathway, when you walk, you follow a truthful pathway, and when you communicate, you too follow a pathway that others find reasonable, if you are not reasonable, then no Chinese would like to talk to you further. One good example, what Richard learned from his Grandma, "stay away from bad person" is a way of living, a pathway of absolute truth. I was taught since young of the same 道理, in fact, every Chinese are taught of this in some way or another. In western culture, there has no such thing as 道理。

Great to know more about Richard, nice interview. What people don't realize is that Richard's upbringing is kind of the standard in China, because some comments say that most his age are rebellious or out of touch (maybe in the West), on the contrary I think most are like Richard. The lessons he's learning in his household are very standard (with each household's individual twist) and in essence, the stories he told have the very particular Chinese characteristics: filial piety, humility, devotion, conservation/presevation, and perseverance. This is true even in Chinese households outside China.
