What if parents object to outsiders?

This is a common problem and prejudice of Shanghainese. Shanghainese believe that the whole country is rural. I come from Shanghai and have worked in Yunnan for more than 30 years. I used to have this common fault and prejudice when I was in Shanghai. However, after going to work in other places, I learned that the character and quality of foreigners are not necessarily worse than those of Shanghainese, but their friendship is much better than that of Shanghainese (in fact, some Shanghainese have poor character and quality). Mainly because of Shanghai's superior geographical location. Shanghai has always been an immigrant city. Most of them are immigrants from other places (fleeing, fleeing, wandering, visiting relatives, relying on friends, etc.). They came to Shanghai and settled down tragically and difficultly, so over time, Shanghainese fell behind the root of this contempt for other places. And passed down from generation to generation to this day, it's really sad! )。 So your problem is your parents' ideas, and they don't understand. Now you should communicate with your parents more and convince them with your friends with practical actions, so as to win their understanding. Parents want their children to live better than themselves in the future.
