While I can't speak for what exactly the author meant to convey, it is my sense that you and she are saying the same thing. She is arguing that it's not accurate to characterize all Chinese people as having a sense of filial piety. In this sense, the myth that filial piety is universal in China is not accurate.

Can you name me one society in the world which adheres uniformly and rigidly to its mores? I certainly can't, therefore we shouldn't be too surprised to find a few families in Chinese society who don't behave according to custom. Yes, the system may be under pressure because of westernisation but that's hardly grounds for branding filial piety a myth or saying it is 'shattered'.
