Coming to China after immigrating to the United States is not necessarily "born".

Bai broke through a reality that many people in China don't want to face in the article "Your imaginary America is actually China". When it comes to the United States, people may immediately think that it is a modern country. The pace of life is fast, neon lights are flashing in the city, and bars and restaurants are singing and dancing. People are intrigued, indifferent, weak in family concept, very open in sexual concept, and strong in various consumption desires. Money is God. When you arrive in the United States, you will find that the above description basically conforms to the current situation in China and has little to do with the United States? . 1, it is irresponsible to persist in working despite illness.

When domestic media reports on model characters, the common adjective is "selfless work"? Insist on getting sick? The degree of.

In America, you will find that life comes first? Honey, if you are sick, you should rest. It is irresponsible for yourself to persist in working despite illness. If you are not responsible for yourself, how can you expect to be responsible for others or your work?

Besides, your flu or something may be contagious. The doctor will tell you how long you need to stay at home and isolate yourself before you can go to public places. This is a manifestation of public morality and social responsibility.

The garage is a necessity of life, not for the rich.

When it comes to buying a house in America, it is basically buying an independent house. That is, the villa in China's population. This is basically an ordinary house, not for the rich. There is also a townhouse (called a conjoined villa in China) which is cheaper than this. Such houses range from 30,000 to 50,000 to10 million dollars, and the property rights are permanent.

3. Politicians are nothing.

American government officials are elected by their own voters. You have many opportunities to meet them when they really choose. If you ask for a photo, they will smile and hug you with the most touching gesture, and thank you for your support after the photo.

After members of parliament and other officials take office, people in the constituency need help. If they write to the congressman, they will certainly receive a reply. If the grass-roots office can't solve it, it will be reported layer by layer.

Family comes first, even if money and work give way to family.

In China, there are many families separated by earning money and working. Even if they live in the same place, they may put material things above everything in order to work day and night, miss the delivery of their wives, delay seeing a doctor for their children, and not give the elderly a death.

In America, you will be despised by others. In America, many people have family photos on their desks. Happy group photo reveals American family concept. After work and weekends belong to the family, and all festivals are quiet gatherings of the family? Get up recently? What about an American friend? After a minor operation, the husband canceled all business talks, preferring to pay for alone with her's delay at his own expense, which is a typical embodiment of foreign family values.

? A real thing. A woman who works alone in an American restaurant said to an artist who lives by rap every day, Why don't you go to China? I can introduce you as an English teacher. Why are you working so hard? The rapper said, why should I leave my hometown, my wife and children? This job is not good. I like my job. Be with the person you love every day? I'm sorry, I'm happy. For an instant, everyone present felt that this China woman was even more pitiful.

5、? Rich? Doesn't mean. Is it expensive?

In China, most people now understand aristocratic life as living in villas, buying Bentley cars and playing golf. It is spending money like water, spending a lot of money, and preparing people. In fact, this is not aristocratic spirit, but nouveau riche spirit.

In America, it is easy to make mistakes by judging people by their appearances. The rich are not packaged in famous brands, nor are they luxury cars and mansions. Instead, it is quiet, neat and white teeth (very important), bronzed skin (having money to spend a holiday in the sun), strong and handsome figure (going to the gym when you have time), and most importantly, donating a lot of money to charity associations and churches every year.

In real aristocratic schools, students sleep on hard beds, eat humble meals and receive very hard and strict training every day, which is even harder than civilian schools. In the minds of most people in China, wealth and nobility are the same, and there is no difference.

6. Being rich does not mean being alive.

It is said that nobles have been trained for at least three generations. China is now more like a nouveau riche society than the United States, far from the aristocratic society. This is determined by national conditions and consciousness. American food imports to China have at least quadrupled, which is still the price of commodities. American food is safe and healthy, but only a few rich people can afford it. When we met an importer in Beijing, we asked, can't China produce healthy food? He is old-fashioned: just go back and do it. Money is not a problem, the problem is that you can't buy it.

In China, rich people are willing to spend thousands of dollars a month to maintain their Mercedes-Benz BMW, instead of spending hundreds of dollars on a nutritional product to maintain their health. Because I think driving a beautiful car is much better than a bloated body. Living in a luxurious mansion full of formaldehyde, but unwilling to buy it? An air purification device. Until the arrival of a serious illness, I sought medical advice everywhere, but I didn't want to prevent more, exercise more and balance nutrition.

Health care? Too much trouble. In the United States, it is found that people with high education and high income have healthier lifestyles, while those with high education and high income in China have unhealthy lifestyles.

Obama insists on exercising at least six days a week for about 45 minutes each time. He only rests on Sundays. The first thing he does after getting up every morning is to rush into his gym and start exercising. And eat strictly according to the diet. ? Generally, chocolate roasted peanut protein bars, roasted almonds and pistachios are used as snacks. We can't say that we are busier than Obama, but our consciousness is poor.

7. Going to college is personal accomplishment, not for career and social status.

Ever since I was a child, I've been used to taking college exams? Carp yue longmen? Although the story is different now, the educational symbol 1 is still the weight of social status.

In the United States, you will find that it is not new for highly educated intellectuals to do ordinary jobs. I have seen doctors of philosophy in India drive taxis, musicians in Eastern Europe do decoration, graduate students in geography work as waiters in furniture stores before finding jobs as teachers, and doctors in engineering work in automobile stores.

On the other hand, there will be a cleaner with a bachelor's degree in classical literature from Columbia University, and a truck driver who loves Shakespeare's long-distance travel and writes plays that shock the insiders. The proportion of people with college education or higher education in the United States is much higher than that in China. This kind of education pursues a kind of accomplishment, which has nothing to do with getting ahead.

Columbia university cleaners spent seven years reviewing a classical literature undergraduate course because they liked it. I don't deny it. This pursuit is also related to the national conditions. America 10? Blue-collar workers with 20 years of work experience earn more than Ivy League graduates. The purchasing power of the dollar and the purchasing power of the renminbi are real. China people are very tired, but perhaps the starting point of change is not the environment, but the mind.

8. A divorced man is like a grass.

In the case of divorce in the United States, a man should give his wife half of the property, and if the wife is unable to make money, she should also pay alimony to ensure that the living standard will not drop significantly until she remarries or dies: alimony for children is more important, and most States stipulate that it should be paid to 18 years old. And there is no tax rebate for alimony paid by the man, and so on. If a man is divorced, his value will be greatly reduced immediately.
