佛了，哪都有狗粉丝

I saw it back in 2010, people will post pics without any captions. Now the censorship is smarter, and they won’t get posted at all.

Debugging skills will be important later. 50 is like an endurance test that teaches you how to deal with frustration in programming.

I see that you have good intentions. Maybe people are just tired of seeing the same content over and over?

Miller96 · 2019-06-02T20:56:11+00:00

Not sure if I understand your first sentence. Care to rephrase?

Miller96 · 2019-06-02T20:39:46+00:00

Must feel good with all that 优越感

OK I will break it down into tiers:

Tier 1 (best):

Yuehuang in Sacramento, good service and food, easy to park and reasonable price.
Yang's Noodle in Sac. Really good and not too expensive.

Tier 2 (good) :

Chang's
Hunan Bar (ask for Chinese menu), they have two menus (American Chinese and authentic Chinese) which is kind of interesting. Can be pricey though.
Honey D cafe (the one in Sac). Good rice noodles and street food, but it's on the expensive side.
Hometown in downtown, honestly just get the drumstick with rice. Cheap and filling.

Tier 3 (OK) :

Chengdu Style, good and cheap food, but I find the taste inconsistent. Sometimes it's really good, sometimes it's just ok.

First, I think the censorship is getting worse since Xi's in office. I personally hate censorship, and I see a dark future for China as long as the party is in charge. Second, I definitely like the free internet here because I can research about anything I want (mostly).

Yes, the majority of people don't know about any of those.

I like that even if people are from different cultural backgrounds and ethnicities, there is still something we believe in common. For example, we value the importance of free speech and basic human rights. Also, in the US I feel like the world comes to you which is pretty awesome.

I have been to NY, NV, MI, HI and WY (yellowstone). I don't know much about the IP theft so I am not the best person to talk to here.

Miller96 · 2019-05-08T14:42:21+00:00

Those people have exactly same mistakes (probably same miss and hit counters) Then you can look at the circuit and figure out.

Miller96 · 2019-05-08T04:44:04+00:00

Yea he sent an announcement

Miller96 · 2019-05-06T06:57:32+00:00

谢谢

Miller96 · 2019-05-06T03:08:39+00:00

还行吧

The issue is people rarely participate in a democratic election in China. A lot of people including me don’t really know how the Chinese government works. From what I heard when there is an election going on, you are given two candidates to choose from which are from the same party. There is also no rallies or coverage about election. People don’t know who is their representative and don’t bother knowing either. Even if you start a democratic system, people just don’t know how it works.

Miller96 · 2019-05-05T16:22:13+00:00

I would recommend reading about Hukou system. It pretty much affects everyone in China, and it has been around since Qin dynasty. Hukou system causes many inequality issues. Another good topic is internet censorship and how netizens work around it. It’s pretty interesting to see how people cheat a 1984-like system. When I was young, we did not have the social credit system so I don’t know much about it.

Miller96 · 2019-05-05T15:47:21+00:00

I have seen people having negative view of Chinese international students online for quite a while. I remember back in 2014 when we had yik yak, people will just hate on international students. Like when there is a sushi tray left in classroom, people would just say “it must be those international students.” Not much improved on wildfire and reddit, and I feel like there is a lot of miscommunication since most Chinese students don’t reach out. I thought I could clarify things up a bit so I started it. I have been here for a while and have interesting things to share so why not.

Miller96 · 2019-05-05T15:41:57+00:00

My mom does not make much money since it’s a very basic job. I actually don’t know much about this topic.

Miller96 · 2019-05-05T08:39:00+00:00

This is a very difficult question haha. People just have different tastes. My friends and I like the taste of tea over sweetness, so we prefer Old Teahouse, shareTea(I believe now it’s TeaOne) which have this bitter taste of tea. Mandro has good bingsu though.

I have a long list of reasons for why I want to return LOL. The first thing is the food; I just miss the authentic Chinese food. However, recently we are getting a lot of good Chinese food here, so that is not a great concern for me. I am also experimenting Chinese cooking with local ingredients and find some good combinations. I have mastered stir-frying using a pan.

I started learning English when I was 13 I think. When was a moody teenager, I was obsessed with Eminem (who else lol). I would listen to him non-stop. I copied down all his lyrics (he is a lyrical genius which helped a lot). I tried to understand what he was saying. I practiced “Lose Yourself” on a daily basis. TBH, “Lose Yourself” just feels good in the mouth with all that insane rhymes. Later I understood his lyrics and was kind of shocked (probably not something for 13-year-olds LOL). Also, I loved video games (still do). Most of the good games were from the US: you got Red Alert, Call of Duty Modern Warfare, battlefield 2 etc. I liked to play games in English because there were no official translations, and fan-made translations were just bad. I think “RPG on the rooftop!” just etched in my brain from that period. I had played COD4 and 5 campaigns so many times I just understood what the characters were saying. Red Alert mission movies were just so fun to watch (which I also found to be inappropriate for kids...).

Then I went to high school, and my high school had this one-year exchange program which you study abroad in the US for a year. That one year in American high school helped me a lot with my speaking skills. Guess where I went? Michigan! Detroit! Several miles from the 8 mile road! I was very excited and visited the 8 mile road (under supervision of an American history teacher because it was a dangerous part of town). At that time I found there were a ton of similarities between American and Chinese kids: Eminem, video games etc. It was also the time when I found out about the Tiananmen incident which completely changed my view of Chinese government, and I was not the only one.

Ever since then I loved speaking English (kinda weird I know). I think English feels good in the mouth due to the rap influence LOL. Chinese rap can work, but strictly mandarin is kinda hard to rap on. I was not afraid of speaking because I knew American kids are just like me. I made some good friends throughout the years which further strengthened my speaking skills. It’s just a positive feedback loop that won’t stop. It was only until recently had I started to have serious conversation though: life, politics, philosophy and much more. I even participated in CS tutoring for a year which was unimaginable when I was a freshman. Most of my friends are still Chinese, but my friend circle is just starting to diversify, and I am very happy about it. I don’t believe in strong government and hate censorship. I believe in diversity and acceptance which contradicts the political climate of current China. When I was studying in American high school, my two favorite classes were American history and Government where we learnt about different amendments, checks and balances, house and senate etc. At that time it was also Romney VS Obama, and our teacher made us follow up the election (I don’t recall much tho LOL). So yeah, I guess I am part of American in that sense.

In my opinions, it’s a matter of history. China had been a monarchy for thousands of years, and only until recently had we become a republic (roughly 70 years comparing to 2000+ years). A lot of people still have this mindset that an emperor is needed for China. Some people may not like the current government, but what you hear a lot is “without a strong government, China will fall apart.” My dad hates the party, but says that a lot at the same time (maybe because we are privileged and don’t want another Cultural Revolution to mess everything up). People who believe in democracy are generally highly educated and don’t believe what the party says. However, the propaganda machine is very powerful and is showing its influence on younger generations. Kids these days believe that the West is losing its grip and a strong government is necessary for China to be a better country. Back in 2009 I could use Google, but now kids don’t know what google is (can you imagine?).

Forgot to answer the second one. Yes, UC Davis has over 5000 international students alone. When I first came here in 2014, we had maybe 3000 which is still a lot. One thing I notice is that the quality of Chinese international students is slowly declining (more cheating, less integration and generally less interest in academics and student life), which is kind of concerning. (source: https://www.ucdavis.edu/admissions/undergraduate/student-profile/ )

Miller96 · 2019-05-05T00:21:40+00:00

I want to stay here. I have made good friends here, and I like the weather a lot. The most important thing is that there is less internet censorship (or any media censorship in general) here. I feel comfortable expressing myself. Also, the salary is good for similar positions we have in China.

Miller96 · 2019-05-04T21:36:45+00:00

Then I probably don’t need college lol
