Something that I learnt from both my parents was the importance of having respect（尊重）for other people. I remember one day when we were travelling on a bus and 84 sat down while other people were standing. My mother shouted at me “ 85 immediately! You have young legs and you don’t need to sit down.” At the time I felt embarrassed about being told of 86 , but now I understand. I think children nowadays have 87 that respect and it really makes me angry if I see children sitting down while 88 people are standing.
One area in which we had a lot of rules was table 89 . For example, we weren’t allowed to start our meal 90 the oldest person had started. We had to say “thank you” when our food was 91 , and eat everything on our plates before we could 92 the table. We couldn’t make any noise when eating. Worse than that, we were only 93 to have sweets at the weekend, as a special 94 if we had been good.
Although my upbringing（养育）was perhaps a bit 95 compared with modern children, I’m very thankful to my parents for giving me a clear 96 in life. Even though I was sometimes 97 , I think it has made me a better person. In my view, children need clear rules, but more than that they need to learn how to get on with 98 people and realize they are not the center of the world.
