Oh I meant like did your parents hold your hands to keep you safe so you don't run off or get lost.
And I'm ethnic Chinese too, I was born in mainland China, I never really saw my parents holding hands with eachother or ever kissed, or even a hug. But like... my mother really just like to hold me close lol, she also encouraged me to sit on her lap. So like in terms of affection towards their children, its very much a thing, at least in my childhood, not sure about other kids, but they just never show affection with their spouses...
Ohh. Whoops, I misread your question. In that case, also no. They usually use words to tell me to keep close majority of the time when I was a kid. I wasn't the type of child that would run off whenever I wanted because I would listen to them (their scoldings, warnings about stranger danger). As I grew up, they trusted me enough to let me wander around at an event we were at or something by myself because they knew when and where I would report back. Basically, I was responsible enough at a young age.
