manapotion It's as @hoho2000hoho mentioned. Unlike in the West, most children in Asia aren't independent. While this is changing, most are still dependant on their parents. More & more are taking up jobs, etc. to support themselves & go after their goals, though the number of such children is still less overall.
And due to this, most children just get used to nodding their head at whatever their parents say, even after they grow up. There are rebels, but it doesn't help much with most relatives, neighbours, etc. trying to shame them for not listening to their parents.
