Chinese value (价值观) and American value
As a Chinese-American student, I have much to' say about the value differences between the two countries.
American kids love to make money by themselves. Chinese kids always ask money from their parents. So American kids spend more money than they have, but Chinese kids spend less money and they have money left in the bank.
American parents think going to an expensive and famous college is not useful. Chinese parents would do anything to send their children to good colleges even if it means that they have to sell everything they have.
American parents allow their daughters or sons to go out with their friends if they come back home at the right time. Chinese students aren't allowed to do so in middle or high school.
American parents support and encourage their children all the time while Chinese parents think that criticism (批评) is the best love in the world. So American parents only look at their children's good side. Chinese parents seem to only see their children's bad side.
I don’t want to say which culture is better because both cultures have their pros and cons.
