4:07 我哭了。。。 谢谢大树君的影片给了我们尤其是在外地工作的游子们一丝丝的温暖～老实说，由于新冠肺炎在马来西亚爆发，所以春节到现在我都还没回过家，一直在城市打拼，真的很差想念爸爸妈妈，那天听爸爸说妈妈的膝盖又痛了，我突然觉得很无助，帮不到妈妈什么也做不了什么。。。 这支影片给了我力量打电话回家跟妈妈表达我对她的想念～希望大家都能好好的。 其实什么名气钱财都不必家人健康来得重要♥️

As an Asian, I know the difficulty of saying, "I love you,” to my parents. As you can see, the parents also don't know how to react to such a statement. They downplay it or say thank you. It's not that there's no love, but it's quite hard!

[@LY-of9sj]

It's awkward because they were never into this lovey dovey parents stuff lol

[@rand-_-]

Arab parents too

[@Arnl_godjujubas]

In Brazil, where I'm from, it's different. Parents here (most) are loving. If you tell them you love them, chances are they'll make an even sweeter statement. If I mentioned this to my mother or father, they would shower me with loving words. This is just one of many cultural differences.

[@hazel1779]

Is very interesting for me to see this perspective. As a Mexican, I can say that most of us are very warm and affectionate. I’ve never said a “goodbye” to my parents without an “I love you”. I call them every now and then to just see how are they doing and tell them that I love them. There’s not a day that goes by without my father sending me a text and telling me that he loves me. This makes me feel so grateful for all the love I have received from my parents and the confidence I have to go and give them a big hug anytime ❤

[@MeinHerz.Brennt]

Keep trying to reach to your parents dont let their reaction be a break to your relationship because life is too short to be wishy washy in showering your parents with love even if its embarrassing lol

[@nicoleonyx9186]

I’m American so saying “I love you” to my parents and my kids is an everyday thing, but my ex husband is Asian and always had a hard time saying it, but showed love in other ways. I can see how it makes the phrase “I love you” feel that much more special and touching when it is finally said ❤

[@okay.1336]

I don’t know. Despite it being said all the time, I still feel that it’s very touching and special to say “I love you” to my loved ones. I don’t share that bond with anyone else but them.

As an American I do find it very sweet how the parents respond by SHOWING their love in some way. It seems to me that a lot of Asian cultures value acts that demonstrate love more than verbally saying it. Several of the parents made sure their kid had food to eat, asked if they were okay, or offered money, said "Make sure you come home early to be safe," or some other way to show their affection. They were saying "I love you" back, in their way.

[@charithadissanayake3304]

[@Kahloruluz]

[@wholesomegiraffe7606]

How Asians say I love you: "Did you eat yet?" "Make sure you eat." "Wanna eat?"

[@niloofarnavaei3752]

Yeah. We don't usually say "I love you" to show our love. We show it with our actions and how we care and treasure each other. I can't say I LOVE YOU when I really love someone (parent, friend, partner) not because I'm shy, in fact it's not my love language. I show them with my actions.

Same. Words are good but actions are better. Of course saying "I love you" to the people we care for is also good. Since it makes people happy to hear those words from the one they love as well. By the way, did you guys eat yet? Make sure to eat and don't skip meals, take care of yourselves especially these times of pandemic :>

[@loststar2375]

(In Spanish we have "te quiero" and "te amo", the second it's much stronger than the first). When I was a kid, one day I started to say "te quiero" to my family members but I never learned to say "te amo". It doesn't mean that I love them less, it's just than I'm used to say the other thing. I hope when I'm an adult I can say it

Когда я говорю, что люблю своим родителям. Они думают, что мне что нибудь нужно. Деньги примеру. (хотя я каждую неделю их получаю и не нуждаюсь в них).

[@yohen6782]

I disagree. On the opposite, I don't like those: "I love you, mom" "love you, too. Bye" kinda talks. "I love you" to me is supposed to be a very very very strong and serious expression because of the meanings and responsibilities behind it. I don't like people just use it like "hello" types of expression. Similar to, in a relationship, I would use "I like you" instead of "I love you" in most cases, unless I really think the girl in front of me is "the one".

[@kopxpert]

As an Asian I think it's sad that parents in the west don't smack their kids when the kids do something wrong. Just saying.... the cultural difference doesn't mean it's good or bad. So when it comes to these kind of things, there's nothing to be "sad" about really :)

[@coffeeandcream]

I know some people say "I love you" so easily to their parents, yet they so easily disrespect their parents, too. It's like there's no more value to the words. To me, it is not how often you say the words but how you treat your parents is what's more important. But it's good that the people in the video were able to say it to their parents and vice versa - very touching video.

hi i have something to tell you that you have to do. just say i love you to your parents and hug them and the more you say it the more they will think about you and know how much you love them and its really touching to them. mostly for the people who arent loved a lot, if their child says it every single day. you dont know how happy they will be. and how awarding it will be for you at the end. its all worth it.

[@sherry3987]

To say “I love you” to our family especially our parents is very important, because love is meant to be spoken.❤

[@CatharticCreation]

This was very needed. I hope “I love you” as a regular expression becomes more common in cultures where it is difficult to say. Heart opening energy.

[@inorita1999]

As an Asian American, “I love you” isn’t normally spoken in an average Asian American household unless they are extremely close or it’s directed to or from your grandparents. Since saying “I love you” isn’t a norm, Asian parents assume their child is in some sort of trouble or is in need of some cash when they receive this three lettered phrase. This doesn’t usually apply to younger ages. My mother and I used to have a thing where we just randomly say I love you and then respond I love you more and so forth. I was like 6 though. This is for anyone that doesn’t understand why these people are sort of cringing before saying it.
