#124 How do Chinese parents express their love to children? 中国父母怎么表达爱？

大家好！欢迎回来MaoMi Chinese！

你的父母会常常跟你说“我爱你”吗？你的父母怎么样和你表达爱？如果你和一些中国人聊天，问他们：“你的父母会和你说‘我爱你’吗？”他们很可能会摇头，而且会说：“我的父母从来没有说过‘我爱你’。”中国父母不爱孩子吗？不是的，中国父母也很爱孩子，只是他们表达爱的方式不一样。那么中国父母是如何表达爱的呢？今天我们一起来聊一聊吧！

中国父母的爱常常是无言的。无言的，意思是不用说话。中国大部分父母比较保守，如果要他们说“我爱你”，这会让他们非常害羞。但是，他们的爱是无言的，他们也经常用行动表达爱。

中国的父母会做什么行动来表达爱呢？首先，中国父母喜欢给孩子做好吃的。吃，在中国的文化里太重要了。不管他们工作多忙，中国父母，尤其是母亲，都会给孩子做很多好吃的菜，有时候也会带孩子去饭馆吃大餐。几乎每一个中国人都觉得，妈妈做的菜才是最好吃的，因为这是最熟悉的味道，也是爱的味道。

然后，为了给孩子更好的生活，中国的父母一般都非常努力工作，甚至牺牲了很多自己的爱好。很多中国父母把孩子看得最重要，他们自己没有孩子重要。他们会把最好的东西都留给孩子，比如，最好吃的菜会给孩子吃，赚钱了，也会先用在孩子身上。

除了为孩子牺牲以外，中国父母还非常重视对孩子的教育。中国父母认为，教育非常重要，可以让孩子有更好的人生。他们常常会要求孩子努力学习，去好的学校和好的大学，这样他们的人生以后会有更多的选择。

这是传统的父母，比如我的父母就是这样的。但是，很多新一代的父母们不一样了。他们和他们的父母不一样，因为他们觉得自己才是最重要的，甚至比孩子更重要。比起让孩子优秀，他们更希望孩子能快乐。每一代人都有每一代人表达爱的方式，但是爱是永远不变的。

Hello everyone! Welcome back to MaoMi Chinese!

Do your parents often say "I love you" to you? How do your parents express their love to you? If you talk to some Chinese people and ask them, "Do your parents say 'I love you' to you?" they will likely shake their heads and say, "My parents have never said 'I love you'." Do Chinese parents not love their children? No, Chinese parents do love their children, but they express their love in a different way. So how do Chinese parents express their love? Let's chat about it today!

The love of Chinese parents is often silent. Silent means without words. Most Chinese parents are relatively conservative, and asking them to say "I love you" would make them very shy. However, their love is silent, and they often express it through actions.

What actions do Chinese parents take to express their love? First, Chinese parents like to cook delicious food for their children. Eating is very important in Chinese culture. No matter how busy they are, Chinese parents, especially mothers, will cook a lot of delicious dishes for their children, and sometimes they will take them to restaurants for a big meal. Almost every Chinese person believes that the food cooked by their mother is the most delicious because it carries the most familiar taste, the taste of love.

Furthermore, in order to provide a better life for their children, Chinese parents usually work very hard and even sacrifice many of their own hobbies. Many Chinese parents consider their children to be the most important, even more important than themselves. They will save the best things for their children, such as letting them eat the best food, and if they earn money, they will use it for their children first.

In addition to sacrificing for their children, Chinese parents also attach great importance to their education. Chinese parents believe that education is very important and can provide their children with a better life. They often demand that their children study hard, and go to good schools and universities, so that they will have more choices in their future lives.

These are traditional parents, such as my own parents. However, many parents of the new generation are different. They are different from their parents because they believe that they themselves are the most important, even more important than their children. They would rather see their children happy than strive for excellence. Each generation has its own way of expressing love, but love itself is always constant.
