I'm sure mothers are important across every culture, but particularly in Korean society, the role of the mother is of great importance.

Children love their mothers. Especially with a boy child and his mother, there's a bond that's unbreakable.

For women in my family, in Korean culture, women are really valued in their youth, and then when they get older, it's like they almost become irrelevant.

My daughter likes Korean drama more than I do.

Korean children get a lot of fuss made over them, I guess because life was tough in the old country, and it was a big deal if you survived. There's a big party thrown when you are 100 days old, followed by another when you make it to one whole year.

My sister is Korean and my parents adopted her about three years before I was born and that is how I grew up.

There's love for your parents, your family, your spouse, your partner, your friends, but the nature of the connection you have with your child, there's nothing like it. It has its own character and it's so serious and so powerful, and so it's a prism through which I see everything.

I was raised, myself, by extremely strict but also extremely loving Chinese immigrant parents. To this day, I believe that their having high expectations for me, coupled with love, was the greatest gift that anyone's ever given me. And so that's why, even though my husband is not Chinese, I try to raise my own two daughters the same way.

What can be more clear and sound in explanation, than the love of a parent to his child?
