A small town in England.

Here was a young man who lived by rapping for the people of the town; Here, there is a Chinese woman, far away from her family, working here.

They always eat in the same little restaurant, so they meet again and again.

For a long time, we are very familiar with each other. One day, our female compatriots, with concern, said to the young man: "Don't sing in the street, go to a proper profession. I recommend you to teach in China, where you can get a much higher salary than you are getting now."

After hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically: "Am I not now engaged in a legitimate profession? I love this job. It brings joy to me and others. What's wrong with that? Why should I cross the ocean, abandon my family, abandon my home, to do a job I don't like?"

The Englishmen at the next table, old and young, were also shocked. They don't see why they should be envious of abandoning their families and living away from happiness just to earn a few extra dollars. In their eyes, family reunion, safe and sound, is the greatest happiness. It has nothing to do with wealth or status.

So, the town began to pity our fellow women.

Story 2:

There was a couple in Shandong, China.

Just married, the wife in Jining, the husband in Zaozhuang; After a few years, the wife transferred to Zaozhuang, the husband is a paper transfer to Heze. Several years later, the wife was transferred to Heze, but before long, the husband was promoted to Jinan, the provincial capital. His wife also entrusted relations to find acquaintances, finally transferred to Jinan. But less than a year later, the husband was transferred to Chongqing by the State Electric Power Corporation. So all her friends made fun of her -- you two were born to be cowherd and Weaver. Want us TO say AH, you also don't chase, simply resign, follow your home old Zhang to calculate.

But she, as well as her in-laws and parents, were unanimous in their opposition. "After working for so many years, I'm retiring right away. Besides, your unit benefits are so good. It's a pity to resign. How much money to lose! Keep working for a few more years, and make more money for the children."

In fact, their family's economic conditions have been very superior. They are already middle class, but they still miss that little pension.

So, the couple are still cowherd and Weaver girl.

We are a people who value righteousness over profit. The Chinese have always lived for a cause they may not really understand.

As a result, Chinese people cannot live in a life without goals. And this goal, can be work, can be ideal, can be money, can be children, can be the elderly...... But, the only impossible yes, is yourself.

Chinese people, can be very wronged to live. Can be the work of extremely unsatisfactory, can be the marriage of barely maintain, can be forced to smile on interpersonal relations, can be the extreme suppression of all desires, can be for a so-called registered permanent residence...... Even at the cost of a lifetime of happiness.

Chinese people, can lead a very difficult life, but can not be poor and happy, he suffered all the misfortune, must have a joke excuse; Chinese people, can take senior officials wealth as a success, Chinese people can put millions as an ideal, Chinese people can give up the family happiness of the world drift, but, the only Chinese people do not recognize the success - is the harmony of the family, the dull life.

Thus, a country with a history of 5,000 years of civilization, the patriotism, lofty, dedication, success, career complex pushed to the extreme -- they are either selfless, in fact, is the end of the vortex struggling, or shoulder the responsibility, in fact, is in the name of the vicious circle suffering...... The only thing missing is freedom and self.
