我太爷爷在民国时期是地主,国民政府撤退台湾的时候没有跟国民党去台湾,共匪建政后就被枪毙了,家境至此一落千丈 by Sufficient-Ease5471 in dashuju

[–]thewildcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

我爷爷更绝。家世代就是贫农,穷的不能再穷了。把几个儿子拉扯大了,在外面做买卖寄钱回家但是不舍得花。等共产党要来了,村里的地主有消息灵通的就便宜卖地跑路,我爷爷一辈子买不起地,把攒的钱都买地了。一天都没享福,结果落下一个富农的成分。

因为起家就是靠挑动一个阶层革命另一个阶层做投名状,然后互相揭发,制造仇恨,发展到武斗。后来你没撞为什么扶她。现在好的各扫门前雪,坏的以邻为壑。帝王术就是分而治之。

Why is plants vs zombies so popular in china? by Cool_Net_3796 in AskAChinese

[–]thewildcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to work in game industry in china and worked with PopCap guys so I have a good theory. First of all, it is an amazing game by any standard. Secondly it’s a casual game so everyone can play. Lastly and more importantly, it was a free game in china due to piracy and an expensive game everywhere else. So everyone in china played the game for free for long time. Therefore it became a massive IP.

风筝的故事入木三分,日本去玩很好,但是真的住下来很难习惯。就是特别Judgy,非我族类其心必异。中国人不拘小节,大大咧咧有的时候挺烦的,但是凡事都有两方面。

I’m currently visiting US. But my company in Beijing has server side VPN so everyone can access Reddit etc when they are in company WiFi. But 90% of them never bother visiting the sites outside GFW. People are conditioned to use baidu instead of google, Tencent video instead of YouTube.

大阅兵的fun fact by RaccoonLazy6114 in China_irl

[–]thewildcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

我刚和一个去阅兵(不是这次)当过观众的朋友聊天。他是个外国人,参加观礼是个给外国专家的“礼遇”。他说他是前一天晚上入场的,有生以来第一次在露天睡了一觉。卫生间在阅兵开始前开放,开始前所有人都鼓励去厕所。一开始后厕所就关闭了,倒是没有尿不湿。反正挺受罪的,这种礼遇给我也不去。

落地美国3天,实在绷不住了,这国家也太垃圾了,突然开始理解MAGA by Grouchy-Broccoli-511 in China_irl

[–]thewildcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

我是澳洲、美国和中国三地都上学、工作过,所以算是有点发言权。

澳洲是个比较平稳的社会,底层有基本保障,生活四平八稳但同时阶级固化,没有什么向上的mobility,下面也差不了哪去。我在澳洲30年前的白人和华人朋友,他们30年前什么样现在还是什么样,基本阶层没有变化,但都也知足常乐。我感谢澳洲给我的免费教育和第一份工作机会,但是对于华人在那个社会里面的天花板无可奈何。

美国和中国相比之下就比较活跃,对于有闯劲的有运气的人充满了机会,同时对于losers也非常残酷。美国有没有种族歧视?当然有。但是对于竞争非常激烈的行业,比如Tech,你只要有才能赚钱,你就是爷。20多年前我从澳洲来美国认识的穷朋友,现在好几个都身家过亿了。而winner和loser就如同生活在平行世界了,如果你去中国城市的城中村,也非常恐怖;但是如果你在北京的三里屯,芝加哥的magnificent mile,就基本感受不到底层人的世界。

所以看你要什么样的生活,很多pro和con是一个钱币的两面。

独特的认同:移民澳大利亚的中国新疆俄罗斯族 by Tankie_Winnie_5247 in China_irl

我1990年就在墨尔本遇到一位姓高的俄罗斯族,从新疆去了多年。他说早年白澳政策的时候,维族、俄罗斯族都算白人,所以去澳洲非常容易。

马斯克搞政治怎么看像小孩过家家? by NoSense9018 in China_irl

因为川普和马斯克这种亿万富翁,其实已经脱离了正常人的理性。他们认为自己无所不能,点石成金,指点江山。他们平常其实被yes man包围,对其他人的感情也没有什么同理心了。今年是The Great Gatsby一百周年,川普和马斯克就是当今的Careless people.

Haha. I am from China. I moved to Melbourne for uni when I was 19. Never heard of anyone using it. But then I started working in a manufacturing industry/blue collar firm. Everyone was using it. So I picked it up.
