Some people think the intelligence is from nature, some people think the intelligence is from nurture. In China there are words that are "human nature is kind at the beginning of human being's lives." I think the environment and experience where people live are most important than other factors. Only through eating education between China and American, people can find the difference between Chinese children and American children.
Chinese attach importance to eat. The old saying in China is "people regard food as their prime want; food is the necessity of human." Chinese parents love their children, especially on meal.
