Why do Chinese parents seldom say "I love you"?
( bbs.chinadaily.com.cn) Updated: 2015-01-09 08:08Editor's note: The words I love you are sometimes hard to find in Chinese families. But does that mean Chinese parents don't care about their children? Forum readers share their views. You're welcome to add yours.

We normally say actions speaks louder than words...but in this sense words speaks louder than actions. Chinese parents can't cope or are too tender with the emotions that comes with saying wo ai ni and vice versa....am sure they're gonna say it's our culture...the most common excuse to swerve uneasy interrogations.
