The origin of the repressed character of the Orientals

After reading "Lolita" and "Letter from a Strange Woman", I
am amazed at the difference in feelings between Easterners and Westerners.
Westerners do not repress their feelings and release recklessly (and whether it is ethical or not, but they dare to release) while Easterners are too reserved and restrained, which causes so many regrets.
And this difference comes from our childhood, and the constraints and education we have received.

"Lolita" enthusiastically "seduced" his stepfather due to his young and precocious maturity.
"A Letter from a Strange Woman" and Xu Jinglei's childhood was spent in peeping and heartbroken waiting. This is their difference. East-West gap.
The former makes us feel romantic and lovely, the latter makes us feel melancholy and beautiful.

The origin is that we can't release love well when we are children. So there is still a certain repression of love in adulthood. To form a unique way of love in the East.

    True love is, I only want you to be happy, if you are hurt, my world will collapse, and my heart will hurt unbearably. Love can make people crazy. On the first night in the hotel, the quick-cut scene where the uncle went into the bathroom to change his pajamas was amazing, and the feeling of not wanting to leave Lolita for a moment was vividly expressed in this scene.

    Wet, dirty girl, not the loli I imagined. I actually feel a little disgusted that such a girl can accept incompetence. But it is undeniable that the film is well shot, but I can't deny that it is difficult for me to look at it. If you only talk about the movie, this is a good movie, if you talk about the outlook on life, it is a bad review
