Have you been to Asia? Do you know how complex things are now? (I've lived in both China and Japan, with time spent in a number of Southeast Asian nations as well.)
When China instituted its one-child policy, it ensured that much would change. Respect for the elderly may have been a social norm in previous generations, but a wave of self-centered children is growing up without sibling interaction; these children are the focus of the entire family and there is no guarantee that family dynamics will be what they were a hundred years ago.
