（原文）A show questioning of blind attachment to traditional values
A hit show questions blind obedience to unreasonable parents.
It is no mean feat to be one of the top-ten trending hashtags on Weibo, China's equivalent of Twitter, for 20 consecutive days and counting. "All is Well", a show on provincial television which premiered on March 1st, has done just that. The show tells the story of a fictional Chinese family torn by internal conflict. The female protagonist, Su Mingyu, is barely on speaking terms with her widowed father and one of her two brothers. The father is a nagging crank who experts his two adult sons to bankroll his lavish tastes. This leads to constant bickering between the brothers, neither of whom wants to be called unfilial.
Episodes of "All is Well" have been streamed more than 390m times. That exceeds the online viewership of the next most popular television series by 278m. From "The Simpsons" to "Game of Thrones", dramas about bickering families are common in many countries. But in China, the Communist Party prefers entertainment to be unchallenging. So the questioning of blind attachment to traditional values in "All is Well" is causing a stir. Viewers are transfixed by its rare portrayal of middle-class life, warts and all.
Many Chinese can relate to the Su family's troubles.The daughter holds a grudge against her father (the two are pictured), and especially against her late mother, for having mistreated her while pampering her brothers. As a child she was made to wash her brothers' clothes. Her parents turned a blind eye when one of her brothers beat her. For many female viewers born before 1979, when China introduced a one-child-per-couple policy (changed to two in 2016), such scenes have brought back painful memories. Some have used social media to share their own tales of sexism within the family.

（仿写）Say Goodbye to Blind Obedience in Family
It is no mean feat to be a parent taking care of a child for twenty years. But this is not a good reason to force your adult child bankroll your every single desire, neither your sentimental demand. For example, an old woman obliges her daughter to break up with her boyfriend, because she prefers to choose another young man with greater promise in her eyes for her daughter. In another example, a father wishes his son to sell his house and buy a bigger one so that they could live together.
Generally, those divergences and bickering lead internal conflicts within family. Mean while, children don't want to be commented unfilial. Many asian people can relate to this kind of annoyance of blind attachment to traditional values.
We should say no to the blind obedience to unreasonable parents. Either parent or child, they are independent individual on this planet. Everyone has the right to live his own life. After all, life is once chance to everyone.
