    For teachers, I guess they’re the biggest figure for students as they grow up. Confucian culture emphasizes enormous respect, and tbf, conformity to teachers.

    I grew up wanting to be YouTuber, and now work as a professor in East Asia with deep Confucian influence. The teacher-student dynamics here is truly shit.
