Title: In a foreign country, our China is really not bad!
Introduction: Hey, friends, have you ever thought that in a land thousands of miles away, those daily trivial things can actually make people laugh out loud? Today, I will talk to you about some of my ups and downs in this strange land, and those small cultural differences that make people laugh.
Sit tight, guys, I'm going to start my show. First of all, it's really eye-opening to live here. For example, the cumbersome procedures they have when they eat here can simply drive the anxious Chinese crazy. You have to elegantly cut small bites with a fork and a knife, and I want to cry when I look at that bowl of noodles - where are you, dear chopsticks?
Another example is the way of working. Foreigners pay attention to Work-Life Balance to the point of envy, jealousy and hatred. As soon as the bell rings, the office is more lively than the supermarket discount. In contrast, we Chinese are conscientious in our duties to the end! Working overtime late at night is just a basic operation.
And ah, the consumption Xi here is also quite interesting. "Sale" and "Discount" signs can be seen everywhere on the streets, but what about the real calculations? When it comes to spending money, we Chinese are shrewd!
Speaking of which, after staying here for a long time, I can really find some misunderstandings about us Chinese. For example, I once heard a few foreigners next to me chatting and saying, "Chinese are all kung fu masters." I was happy on the spot - if every Chinese knew kung fu, wouldn't I become the master of the martial arts alliance?
Don't think I forgot to mention our Chinese food! Although there are Chinese restaurants here, the taste is far from home. As I ate, I began to think about fried noodles, xiao long bao, and hot pot...... Alas, you ask me what I miss most about my country? Of course, my stomach!
In fact, living abroad has made me feel more and more the breadth and profundity of our Chinese culture. From ancient history to modern development, from poetry to high-rise buildings - Comrades! Wherever you go, remember: we have reason to be proud of being a Chinese!
In short, there is something to the joy of experiencing life in a foreign country. Observing and reflecting on the differences and connections between different cultures, and constantly broadening my horizons and understanding, this is probably the most precious gift of living abroad.
So friends, as you sail forward on the tide of globalization, please don't forget to look back at the brilliant and dazzling five-star red flag behind you. After all, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, there is always a deep attachment and pride to the homeland in my heart!
That's all for today! Believe me, you can learn to be more open and tolerant while finding your own cultural roots in a foreign country - after all, the world is so big, there are so many fun things! Next time you see you, I hope to hear about the new wonders you have discovered in the corners of the world!
