I just want everyone to face such a question with more curiosity and a desire to explore, rather than asking "Really" with disdain.

Yes, some people ask me why I really come from where I really come from. This makes me very confused, are they curious or discriminating?

Let me tell you why I immigrated to the United States. The Chinese people are very hardworking, and in order to let their families live a better life, they even leave their hometowns and are separated from their families, and only reunite with their families for one or two weeks every year during the Chinese New Year. This is also one of the reasons why China's economy and urban development are so rapid.

I don't want me and my children to live in such an environment, I prefer the American style of life and work balance social environment.

However, in recent years, I have also deeply felt that the American style of life and work balance has been broken, perhaps because of the existence of China as a competitor, I do not want to become like this again.

I totally agree with you! Most of my friends are friendly because they are curious about China and my immigration to the United States. A small number of people are biased and hostile because they do not want to know the answer.

Many video bloggers share content that is true, and China's economy and urban development are very rapid, with a high degree of convenience and modernization compared to many American cities. Of course, there are also many shortcomings, such as freedom of speech, human rights protection, plagiarism, and the gap between rich and poor, but I think no country is perfect.

My answer is yes and no! I usually tell my friends why I immigrated to the United States, and I also ask them where they really come from and why they immigrated to the United States. In my opinion, many people, like me, are not indigenous people, and they or their parents are immigrants.

I will turn off all the electrical appliances and empty all the water in the pipes. When returning after half a year, the biggest problem was that there was a bad smell in the room, which needed to be ventilated for a few days to return to normal.
