When I was a grad student I taught and worked with a lot of Asian undergrads. From what I picked up, most resented their parents at some level, especially their “Asian Dads”. I imagine that upon becoming financially independent and cutting the purse strings most will almost never call or visit their parents.
There’s a happy-medium to be had. I think most of us know how important being able to relate to people is important for success in business and life. The kind of kids the article talks about often are outwardly extremely successful until college and burn out. Some become successful doctors, the sort of person who is good at their job but viewed as “weird” by coworkers, and in the case of Doctors the kind that has horrid bedside manner.
A good parent is like a good government; it regulates but doesn’t micromanage.
