Voice of immigrants: I didn't know where I came from until I came to Canada.

When I held the Canadian immigration paper two years ago, my excitement was hard to express in words. Goodbye, folks; Goodbye, intrigue personnel; Goodbye, corrupt officials. . . I want to be a foreigner, enjoy the blue sky and white clouds and breathe the free air. When I came back, I was not who I am now. What is this? I don't know, maybe it's those overseas Chinese who are personable and have bulging wallets. As if it happened in a dream, I immediately abandoned everything at hand and rushed out like a trapped animal. At the moment of landing, the plane circled over Toronto. What a splendid city, it deserves to be an international metropolis. Out of the airport, live in China temporary reception station. Even if rats run around and cockroaches run wild on the stove, they can't erase the excitement of going abroad. He also smiled and said, look at those lively rats and cockroaches. When you start looking for a place to live, you must be economical and decent. Looking through the newspapers, I found that the "basement" in Chinese newspapers is cheap, while the "basement" in English newspapers is cheap. Due to lack of overseas vocabulary and English, I don't know its profound meaning. I didn't know it was the basement until I asked. God, this basement is wet and stuffy. Not everyone can live in China, but it is a part of life in this developed country. It took me a long time to realize that not only China people live, but also blacks and whites. It's better to say that living in the basement is not money, but a kind of culture and a manifestation of free and casual personality, but in fact, only you know whether your pocket is warm or not. In fact, the Prime Minister here declared in Shanghai not long ago that the housing in Canada is much better than that in China. Maybe he forgot the basement under his old house. Finding a job is a compulsory course in life. Even if you are washing dishes, washing dishes or a salesman, the boss will ask you if you have any Canadian experience. This is very serious, it is a comprehensive test of the quality of employees, and it is also one of the most advanced procedures in Canada. People in China who want to engage in environmental engineering don't have to worry about collecting garbage and sweeping the streets. It is mainly the white brothers who shoulder the burden. They seem to be half civil servants. Lucky people will be satisfied when they find a professional job. Just be numb to the ups and downs of being laid off in the future. Unfortunately, the tax rate is too high, and the salary of professional jobs is not much higher than that of ordinary jobs. Harmony makes money, and the chances of getting rich are slim, but everyone can buy a car and a house. Don't be too nervous, just change your life's efforts to a refuge for children who can only speak English. It is the highest goal of ordinary people that the government forces everyone to make money wholeheartedly. Cultural barriers are a lifetime thing. There is a Spring Festival party in China, which is reviled by some patriotic and unpatriotic people at home and abroad every year, and they brazenly do it. Look at others. The Vienna New Year Concert plays almost the same music every year, and the audience gives warm applause. Watching the Salt Lake City Olympic Games, a casually dressed singer (usually a man) twisted his guitar on the stage for two hours, which fascinated everyone. Even if I fooled one side, I didn't see the news media and online propaganda. I really don't know whether it is the profoundness of western culture or the elegance of westerners. Don't understand them just as they don't understand us. One thing is clear, their simple patriotism and national quintessence are touching. The concentrated expression of overseas China culture is Chinatown. The narrow facade and the so-called supermarket with strange smell have brought people to what age. According to domestic standards in the 1980s, the articles are rich. Almost all chicken, duck and fish are frozen. Why are even vegetables frozen? Needless to say, there is not much food to buy in western supermarkets. Some friends are westernized, and he doesn't want anyone who is not westernized. That's another matter. I also saw dragon lanterns in Chinatown. Dragon, thin, like a trampled snake, has no essence and no spirit, which hurts the appetite of the viewer. Most shopping ladies and gentlemen look like dragons (or snakes), and they are seldom full of energy. Even if there are, most of them are newcomers who don't know the depth. I used to know that corruption is not popular in the west, and sexual freedom does not include mistresses. But I can't figure out what Clinton's "zipper door" is. People don't jump the baton without hearts. Or Clinton's "Whitewater Gate" economic account disappeared with his partner's suicide. Today, George W. Bush has pulled out a lot of questions about him and the members of parliament, and he really believes them. It seems that he and his associates are innocent and go to Tsinghua angrily to preach western ideas and fraternity. You can only cheat students who have never jumped the queue overseas. . . . I really don't know whether this hypocritical and shameless greed was learned from westerners in China or from Chinese studies. The so-called good system is just a name in front of power and money. Year after year, I work and study in order to find a professional job, and I have no time to think about the meaning of life. Like a wolf with a keen sense of smell, his eyes are green with hunger. Where there is a piece of meat or it looks like there is a piece of meat, I will pounce on it. Driving a fairly good car can't hide the exhaustion and emptiness of the mind. I suddenly remembered why I went abroad. I don't know exactly. There may be many reasons, but it is by no means a battle to solve the problem of food and clothing for a ration. It was solved by a pediatrician many years ago. Why? Why? Why do westerners often ask: Since China is very good and there is money left after dinner, why did you come to Canada? The other why. Someone advised that life is life, just get used to it. That makes sense. Everything will be fine if you are numb. In my hometown, it is the season of winter snow. "I used to be full of pride, but I came back with an empty bag." But on this overseas trip, I know that the outside world is wonderful and helpless. I know the old overseas Chinese fought even harder. I know why most people in China yearn for their motherland and hope that it will be strong. I know that many overseas Chinese are suffering from the hardships of life in exchange for temporary glory. I know that I am a China native from the inside out in my life, and I can't and won't enjoy the bliss of the western world.
