My 34 Comics Show What It Is Like Growing Up In A Chinese Family

Too true.

This is the truest thing I've seen

Sad and cute at the same time

Omg that is just SO. TRUE.

hahaha 666 is a chinese lucky number but we americans think its cursed

At least it's not the number of the beast.

Same with 13... ugh... in my teens people thought I was trying to be all **cringe** edgy and cool and whatever by liking the number 13... Nooooo.... it's... actually... a lucky... number...

Plot twist: it turns out that 666 was not a reference to "Satan" (who wasn't yet solidified as a concept at that time), but a coded reference to the Roman emperor Nero, who was persecuting Christians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_of_the_Beast#Nero

What do you mean you live on the 4th floor!!!

4 is the chinese unlucky number! i live in hong kong and because people think its bad luck, we dont even have a number 4 apartmant building. we have numbers from 1 - 33A instead of 34, its 33A and so on for every 4 up to 33

Really.... That's something new I learned today about the Chinese 🤔

Thank god it's not "4's."

I support this. If you can't afford a roof over your head, you're in no position to be proposing marriage. The way it looks, you're putting the responsibility of that roof on your partner, and that's not cool. Key note, when I say afford, I don't inherently mean own. I rented a room in a house for years before moving in my with my wife, but the point was that I paid for my own shelter. If I couldn't afford that much, I would never have asked her to marry me. My wellbeing should *never* be her responsibility.

After that, the shop next-door will start the offer at 80.

It will come back to you with a little practise. Immense respect for people who speak more than one language.

Well we Filipinos are more often be with our parents until we get married and sometimes even if we are we still doesn't move out because we can't leave our parents behind.

If we believe in it enough, maybe it will be true

I believed her for years before discovering that she was leaving the best parts for me. Cri ;w;

Too real!!! I don't think my grandma realizes that I spend 90% of the time sitting down so I can't really use all that food

This is cool.

LOVE fry bread!

In the US, not so long ago, smoking was promoted to pregnant women to help them "relax", and kids were marketed to with candy (fake) cigarettes..... It's simply 2 different eras in marketing, in 2 different countries, with 2 different goals in mind. One is to make money off of cigarettes, the other is to not have the health care system pay for the repercussions of smoking cigarettes.

Is there a reason for throwing it out the window? In my culture a tooth is put under the pillow for the tooth fairy to come and take in exchange for money or a trinket. Would be interesting to know about any others, too!

and when you see a stranger who's a young woman, you call her aunty. a stranger who's a young man is addressed as uncle, and so on and so forth.

Why no fruit until 2 hrs after a meal? So you’ll eat all your food I guess?
