Parents-children relationships in Taiwan (親子關係): love or pressure?孝親費(filial allowance)?
Tuesday, 2 September, 2025

In this episode, I share insights from a small survey I did with my close Taiwanese friends over three months. Honestly, I have mixed feelings talking about Taiwanese family culture because it’s 一言難盡 It’s hard to put into words.… It’s delicate and complicated to balance love and the concept of 孝順 (filial piety). It’s an art. But love is an art, right? :) Full episode and transcript on my patreon.The important concept of 孝順 (filial piety) and how it can sometimes feel like pressureTaiwanese parents tend to be overly worried and protectiveWhat 孝親費 (filial allowance) means in Taiwanese cultureThe rise of 情緒勒索 (emotional blackmail) as a popular modern term in Taiwan NoteIf your goal is to progress from intermediate to advanced Chinese and discuss deeper topics with your Taiwanese friends and family, feel free to check out my Level Up & Connect to Taiwan program !
