i only scored 4 points, so is it good or bad?
i read your last statement too, seems like you are lost in your middle-age crisis. you are lost since you are out of your comfort zone.
+ yes. i am having my mid-age crisis (before my mid-age)
you will face the same problems no matter where you are(except hk).
will you have the gut to ask people in beijing that they can speak cantonese or not. i doubt it.
+ you are right. cantonese. or hong kong is a tiny place after all.
you believe assimilation, you always question why you need to adopt western culture, not the other way around. you asked why the white cannot have "dim sum" every day and you need to have donuts & coffee everyday.
+ i was trying to be poetic
but beside the white and the cantonese, have you consider the indian, taiwanese & japanese... they may not like donuts, but they are ok with it. western culture is a mutually inclusive thing for all people in canada.
i believe acculturation, i believe people are exchange of cultural features in this global world. of course, it is not a one day process, it takes time. when i was taking the asian study class 10+ yrs ago, some white people can speak fluent mandarin and actually one of them got the scholarship and went to taiwan for his master degree.
just want to let you know white people are slowly adopting chinese culture as well.
i love both hk and canada. I never think hk is bad. i choose to stay in canada because canada is more suitable for me. just like apple and orange, they are both good. depend on which one you like.
i am a canadian chinese, so what wrong? this is me.
why you are still in canada, it must be a reason to keep you here.
be positive thinking. why you always think what you lost rather than what you have. you sound like you are the global man who lost his identity . dont' you believe you will face a similar situation when you change your career or partner. who moved your cheese?
who are you? who are you? who are you? this is what you need to find out.
+ thank you for your reply |
