Well, I’m not sure that I can answer clearly. I mean, yes or no for this question. On the one hand, parents always have more experience, not only living experience, but also society experience. For example, in mainland China, most parents can know the good or bad for a person, especially the friend of their children. So they always give some suggestions to their children. On the other hand, they have more knowledge than their children because some parents may receive high quality of education. However, on the other hand, some parents’ ideas may not follow the modern society. I mean, their ideas cannot change as fast as the change of society. So when their children have some new ideas about something, their parents can give some suggestions, but not have conflict with their children, I think.

Their ideas cannot change as quickly as society does. So when their children have new ideas about something, their parents can give suggestions but should not conflict with their children, I think.
