@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai I don’t recognize the China you describe, and I don’t think either of us will convince the other.
So let’s leave it here.
I sincerely wish you good health and happiness
@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai I respect your beliefs, even though we see the world differently.
Thank you for sharing your perspective.
As an ordinary Chinese person, I sincerely wish you good health, peace, and happiness wherever life takes you.
Take care.
@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai We may simply have different ideas about what a meaningful life looks like. I respect your perspective, but I don’t think it’s fair to reduce 1.4 billion people to “a bunch of kids.”
@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai China is roughly the size of Europe. Just as it would be difficult to describe all Europeans based on one city, it’s difficult to describe all Chinese people based on one region.
@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai Also, your experience seems to come mainly from Wenzhou. It’s well known in China for its strong private economy and entrepreneurial culture, so naturally money and business play a bigger role there than in many other places.
@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai It’s true that many Chinese today aren’t religious in the Western sense. People tend to be pragmatic and focus on improving life here and now rather than preparing for an afterlife. Whether that’s a problem really depends on one’s own worldview.
@ApoloniaEngg@snowboy19948984@Antojzm@Nona_xai I understand. So I’m curious: since your work is related to China and you’ve visited Wenzhou, what experiences in China led you to develop a negative view of the country?
