My name is Siyu and I'm the creator of Tiny Eyes Comics, a webcomic series that shares Chinese culture through slices of everyday life.

A year ago, I published two collections of my comics on the differences between Chinese and Western culture (you can find it here and here on Bored Panda). For this post, I'm putting together a collection of my latest comics that touch upon Chinese family life from education to superstition, from mom to grandma.

You can find more of my comics by clicking on the link to my Instagram below. Don’t forget to vote for your favorite!

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.

If you don’t even have an apartment you are definitely not ready to get married.

In some countries, marriage license refusal was prevalent if no apartment lease was proved

People can have R.V.s and stuff y’know or they might like to travel. Just because someone wants to ‘enjoy life’ more before doing something doesn’t always mean they still live with their parents

Chinese parents are always too overprotective, but not at the same time. So true.

I thought it was common in many Asian countries for young people of both sexes to live with their parents until marriage. Is it the rule that the man must move out of his family's home before he proposes? Or does "apartment" in this example actually mean a home or condo that is owned?

Not just the aged but everyone is obsessed with posessions now.

An apartment is not just a possession. As someone who has been homeless, it is shelter, protection and comfort. Even if all you have are just enough blankets for a pallet on the floor.

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!
