I just don’t think it’s in Asian upbringing and they didn’t have it done to them neither so the cycle doesn’t repeat. Most only help their immediate and extended families.

Totally concur. Asians (Chinese, anyway) will sacrifice their lives for their children. I don’t mean jump in front of a bus, although I suppose they might do that, too. I mean they’ll sacrifice any happiness or comforts or toys or travel or convenience or entertainment or fun or luxury or anything and everything like that. For their children. To a degree far beyond what most Americans would be willing to do. And they’ll give selflessly to their parents and their siblings. If they have anything left after helping their immediate family, and someone in their extended family needs a hand, they’ll give. After that, forget about it.
That’s what I see, anyway. Not necessarily good, bad or indifferent. That’s their culture, and it’s different from ours.
