I'm twenty six, Asian girl. I wish to work in overseas in a few years time because I don't see myself getting married and setting up a typical Asian family. Worst, my parents wish to caged me in this lonely nation. Well I understand the part on filial piety but they don't understand what I really want to do in life. They are fabulous in talking me out on how well Asia is doing, how I should respect them, etc. They can talk through just to make me feel guilty and cry. I am grateful for them to keep me in while I am jobless but somehow deep down in my heart, I kind of resent them. It feels as though I am their tool for retirement and loneliness whereas my brother, a guy, is free to do as he wishes.
