@DavidzhuLife 山沟沟,掏不起学费的人家和能接受到塞一万块,以及大多数人放下一千,很难同时存在。
山沟沟的人心更可怕,对于考上大学的祝福和结婚生娃的祝福完全不同,前者很少有人真心祝福,更别说真金白银了。因为嫉妒,人家的娃考不上。

@KseniiaBaziian 中国没有休息和享受的文化,尤其与欧洲相比,那里的一切都围绕着慢生活。这里你来到一个美丽的地方,中国人拍几张照片就去下一个地方——他们并没有真正沉浸其中。这点太多了,中国每个人都是工具人,生下来他妈的干什么都要衡量利弊,都要寻找意义……

Some notes after travelling around China for 2 months
- China is huge and has something in store for everyone from big cities to ancient villages, from nature to high tech, from culture to shopping.
- Each region has completely different nature, architecture and cuisine.
- It’s very safe everywhere any time of day or night.
- Crazy mix between modern & local / traditional - think skyscrapers & clothing drying on ropes outside. Old residential buildings are kept intact, which adds contrast.
- There’s no such concept as quietness and personal space. Extra loud everywhere. Either very crowded or completely empty.
- There’s no culture of resting and enjoying in China, especially compared to Europe where everything is about slow living. Here you come to a beautiful place, Chinese snap pics and move on to the next place - they don’t really take it in.
- People are in the phones all the time, literally walking on the street and staring in the phones, group dinners where everyone is in the phones are common.
- Understandable because the whole life is in mobile - chats, payments, deliveries, taxis, etc. everything is a couple of clicks away.
- Delicious and very cheap food. Trying new things in each city or region becomes addictive, though I’ve seriously overdosed on sugar, meat, oil and bread. Portions are usually huge and food is not the healthiest.
- Crazy shopping culture in big cities. Stores are massive and very arty, frequently in historic buildings.
- Zero English, so you have to use translator app everywhere. It’s not as difficult as I expected but gets tiring after a long time, as you don't understand anything. In small towns people have a funny habit of talking louder to you as if you'd understand Chinese in this way.
