Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说：侍奉父母，如果他们有不对的地方，要委婉地劝阻。看到自己的心意没有被采纳，仍然要恭敬地不加违抗，虽然内心忧劳，也不怨恨。

James Legge Translation

The Master said, "In serving his parents, a son may remonstrate with them, but gently; when he sees that they do not incline to follow his advice, he shows an increased degree of reverence, but does not abandon his purpose; and should they punish him, he does not allow himself to murmur."
