From a very young age children are imbued with the old values and attitudes, including respect for their elders and a feeling of responsibility to the f
3、amily. This helps to explain why there is so little juvenile delinquency among them. The high regard for education which is deeply imbedded in Chinese culture, and the willingness to work very hard to gain advancement, are other noteworthy characteristics of theirs. This explains why so many descend
4、ants of uneducated laborers have succeeded in becoming doctors, lawyers, and other professionals.
