I grew up in China. My impression was that indeed many Chinese parents are like that, but their kids also tend to be very mediocre. Kids trained like this lack real passion for things, as they were always forced to do this and that. Those Chinese that are elites, on the other hand, tend to have parents who are easy-going, and give more room to their kids' development. It's sad that this author is proud of what she's being doing. I'm personally quite disgusted by this article.
