Interesting, and insightful.

I wonder if Dr. Liu has seen, or will view, the recent American movie "The Materialists." An Asian director! Exploring some of these same rational choice -vs emotional growth - issues.

One thing I find a bit confusing is that for much of China's history male children did not leave the home, and female children were even more confined. However having Children was not a problem then, so can being dependent on parents now be anymore infantile /restricting of personal growth in to adulthood? If so, then what exactly has changed between the old arrangements and the new?
