●Stereotypes
These stereotypes (偏见) of pigs often make us feel negatively about the animal. For example, if someone’s room is very messy, we might say his or her room looks like a pigsty (猪圈).
●Ancient people’s favorite animal
But people in ancient China really liked pigs. If someone had a round and chubby face, he or she was thought to be blessed (有福气的). People also believed the animal stood for (代表) wealth. Now most children have a piggy bank that they can use to save money.

Parents with high expectations for their children are nothing new to Chinese kids. However, people often don’t realize that children also have expectations for their parents. What expectations do Chinese children have for parent-child relationships?
China Youth & Children Research Center did a survey on this topic in the United States, Japan, South Korea and China. The survey found that 83.8 percent of Chinese children want to be friends with their parents, the greatest amount among the four countries. This means that they want a more equal(平等的) relationship with their parents.
According to China Youth Daily, traditional Chinese values (价值观) such as respecting one’s elders and the concept of hierarchy (等级观念) are preventing parents from becoming friends with their children. Many Chinese parents criticize (批评) and push their children, as there is lots of competition in school. It requires efforts from both parents and children to create a friendship in family. As children, what can you do to create a pleasant atmosphere (氛围) at home and make friends with your parents? Read on to find out.
Tips to make home a happy place
How can we get along better with our parents, and at the same time, grow into adults ourselves? Here are some tips.
●Act like an adult
If you want your parents to give you more freedom, you should show them that you’re ready to be treated differently. For example, learn to use self-control. Show them that you can manage your time well.
●Open your heart
US psychologist (心理学家) Carl E. Pickhard wrote in Psychology Today that sharing feelings with our parents can lead to positive changes, while not sharing them can cause misunderstandings.
●Care for your parents
Do something nice or helpful for your parents. For example, help them with some home chores, make them gifts or teach them some computer skills. Their trust in you will grow.
