Nelstar SG Why cry father cry mother? why such a phrase. Lesson 2: Culture of the Chinese It is known that people who lost their parents cry loud and noisily during their wake so anyone making a racket will be insulted with this to stop noise pollution. At first it was, "Char si lang ah! Li lao peh lao bu si liao meh?" Then it evolved to "Char ga bey si, kao peh kao bu si bo?" Then later reduced to "Kao peh kao bu lah!" and even shortened to "kao peh lah!" Variations: "Kao bu!"
