well... there are two ways to look at this thing...

A. if u and ur bf are totally independent and can be responsible for your own actions then it is none of other's business to jump into your relationship between you and ur bf. however, if u and ur bf are not fully mature yet then you are dependent to ur parents, so you must respact their opions and follow them if necessary.

B. i think we all agree that family is more reliable and will rarly let you down, so have faith in them is very important. i was dating this gal a long time ago, but i stop dating her after my bro told me some "not good" things about her. i dont think family members get bitter at u to see u do well. the only thing they worry about is probably ur future.

so i guess, i would say try to let ur bf understand that chinese are still more traditional and conservitive in man and woman relationship, so just try not to be too "touchy touchy" in public and especially infornt of ur family members. if he couldn't respact ur family's idea then it is likely he won't respact urs in the future....
