It's not hard when if you go back more than 40 years (so parents) knew first hand living in substandard housing, in huts and muddy fields, bunking two families to a flat and one "mao coat" per person in their wardrobe. Eking out a living. When you propel a billion (now 1.4) into the middle class, they will forgive a lot.
