I think the idea of showing respect is one thing, but subservience is another, which from my side is what this kneeling looks like. I admire Chinese traditions, mostly, though some are of course a little strange to me. But, in some cases the parents take too much advantage of this system, and do treat their kids like servants that should obey like a slave, and I know this from experience, not hearsay. Children do need to show respect to their parents, and parents to their children, and added to this is love and affection.
