If you come to the United States for the first time from China, it may not feel like a city, and it is full of rural scenery, just like the countryside. On the other hand, after living here for a period of time, I found that there is basically no social life, unlike China and friends, who have meals every day. It is often said that Chinese people's life in the United States is good mountains, good water and loneliness. So what is the real situation? The United States has a vast territory, few people and relatively scattered places of residence. Unlike China, everyone lives together and hears about each other. In fact, there are no people in the real rural areas of the United States. The so-called neighbors have to drive for 5 to 10 minutes recently. Therefore, from the perspective of scenery alone, the United States is a country with a vast territory and a sparsely populated population, and the national urban agglomeration is only on the east and west sides. Among them, the population on the east coast is slightly concentrated, and the west coast takes Los Angeles as an example. Residents are distributed in small cities around Los Angeles, and there are not many people in the city after work at night. When I first arrived in Los Angeles more than 20 years ago, I found that there were few pedestrians on the road. Everyone is in the car, only the shopping center can see the crowd. Compared with the hustle and bustle of people coming and going on the streets of Beijing, it is simply heaven and earth, and driving is very uncomfortable. I always feel bored in my heart and don't know how to live. There is also an immigrant man who can't speak English and completely immigrated for his children to go to school. After driving the children to school for a few days, there is nothing else to do. He said, "I want to give someone some money so that people can talk to me." There are many such examples, mainly because language and culture cannot be integrated into local social life. In fact, after living in America for a long time, you will find this quiet lifestyle very comfortable. The longer I live, the less I like noisy people. The house likes privacy and doesn't want to be too close to others. Planting some flowers in the backyard is not big enough. Especially lifestyle, have their own plans. Everyone pays attention to keeping their private time and doesn't like meaningless time-wasting meals. In a sense, the United States is an easy way to realize rural life, and now anti-urbanization ideas are more and more dominant, and people prefer a lifestyle and living environment close to nature. In addition, after living in the United States for a long time, you will find many beneficial social lifestyles and groups, such as mountaineering, tennis, cycling and hiking. Everyone has some interest groups, simple human feelings and a happy life.

Overseas Chinese are a huge group. The living conditions of Chinese abroad have always been a concern of everyone.

As for the situation of Chinese living in the United States, it may be that different people have different opinions. Cao Guilin, the author of Peking Man in new york, has a famous saying: If you hate him, send him to new york, because new york is hell; If you love him, send him to new york, because it is heaven.

In the United States, after all, it is not the land where our ancestors lived. There must be many differences in culture, lifestyle and even nationalities and beliefs. However, all China people have survived tenaciously with their own cleverness and hard work, and some people have developed.

Chinatown in the United States is not only a way of life of China people, but also a witness to the development of China people and the cultural heritage of China.

Of course, it's true that China people's life in the United States is lonely with mountains and waters. There are several main reasons:

First, after all, Chinese are not the mainstream life circle in America. Therefore, many people in China still live in the Chinese community, and even after living in the United States for several generations, they still live in the Chinese community. Although China people like to get together and don't like to integrate into the local mainstream culture, they inherit the cultural tradition of China, but there are also problems that they can't integrate into the local mainstream society.

Second, there will certainly not be many opportunities for Chinese to enter the upper class in the United States, and it will certainly not be like at home, where all the people who mix well are Chinese. Moreover, there are few people from China at the top of big companies. China people like to start their own businesses and be independent, so they usually focus on catering and trade, so life is carefree, but it is very hard.

Third, the United States doesn't have a lot of social activities like China, because living is scattered and not as concentrated as in China, so there are not as many social activities as in China. Americans pay attention to family life, so there are not so many activities outside the family. Generally speaking, apart from a small number of regular and irregular unit gatherings, American families mainly have regular gatherings.

Fourthly, compared with the colorful and dazzling nightlife in China, life abroad is relatively monotonous. In addition, China people immigrate to the United States mainly for their families, so they don't have much business life in China. Generally, it is a company, a supermarket. Go to parks and shopping malls at weekends at most. Therefore, compared with domestic life, it is really a good mountain and water.

However, perhaps this should be the true face of life. Our excessive entertainment and nightlife have fragmented our family life, and various parties have become the burden of many people, and all kinds of human relations and debts are also unbearable.

Therefore, there is no good or bad life, only you are happy.

I am a cultural critic, welcome to pay attention and leave a message.

I am happy to answer some questions that can help others. I am a travel enthusiast. I have been to dozens of countries. Let me talk about my feelings after going to the United States. Only after I went to America did I love my motherland and hometown more.

First of all, I have to say that the welfare in the United States is still good, and the transportation in the United States is also commendable. The raw materials of a good meal are up to standard, with advantages and disadvantages. Regardless of the advantages of the United States. Let's talk about what is inferior to China after going to the United States, or what is not suitable for us.

In fact, the real America is not so good. We are just more curious about America. I went online when I arrived in America. The efficiency of the United States is lower than that of China, the work pressure is greater than that of China, and the competition is quite difficult. High rent and taxes make you have to pay more attention to your work. The most important thing is security. Many years ago, the risk factor of girls in the United States was much higher than that in China. These security problems are more serious than those who have been to America.

Let's talk about the differences between American and China holidays. Our main holiday lasts for 3 7 days. The legal holidays in the United States are even less than those in China, with only seven days a year (including New Year's Day 1 day; National Day 1 day; Labor day 1 day; Memorial Day 1 day, Veterans Day 1 day; Thanksgiving 1 day; Christmas 1 day). And many people in China say that China usually doesn't celebrate Veterans Day and Memorial Day. In other words, in the United States and China, people can only think of a five-day American holiday. Sometimes I really have to admit that watching our domestic friends live a three-day holiday smartly, I will inevitably envy and hate during the Golden Week of November.

Speaking of legal holidays, let's talk about how the maternity leave in the United States is worse than that in China. The United States, known as a paradise for women, can be said to be stingy in providing maternity leave for women. The United States is the only developed country that does not provide paid vacation system for women. Is America too headstrong? Throughout the United States, only California, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island explicitly provide "paid maternity leave". Of course, when it comes to short maternity leave, China can definitely rank among the top. Generally speaking, China only stipulates 14 weeks maternity leave, which will be flexibly increased under special circumstances. But even so, it is two weeks longer than American mothers who are eligible for maternity leave. Look at Norway and Sweden in Europe. Whether China residents or Chinese in the United States, they can only secretly envy their maternity leave for more than one year.

The United States is a solidified society at all levels, and wages in all walks of life have standards. You can't break this standard.

High-tech applications, mobile internet technology, because they represent the future development direction, major companies are willing to give young people opportunities, high salaries and high benefits. If you have these conditions, America is heaven.

If you don't have skills, cooking skills, crafts and English, you and your black brothers will become neighbors, partners and companions, and become outcasts abandoned by mainstream American society. America is hell.

The United States is a country that pays attention to more work and more pay. As long as you are willing to work, it is no problem to have a house, a car and a deposit, but it is difficult to have a position.

School districts in America are very expensive, especially those where white people live. They have perfect property, first-class environment, first-class library and first-class school. You can't buy a house just because you have money. You have to pass the examination of the owners' committee to prove that you have no criminal record, no bad habits, no credit default and status before you can approve buying a house.

If you live in a school district, you have to pay all kinds of sponsorship, school sponsorship, library sponsorship and police sponsorship to ensure that your children have books to read, places to take care of them and police protection for three minutes. Because the United States is a capitalist country, the service is paid, and the police will refund your money if you don't arrive in three minutes.

If you are just an ordinary migrant worker, you can't even think of the school district and the rich district, and you can't even afford the sponsorship fee, let alone the property management fee.

Your children can only go to public schools, and the education of children in public schools is free, but the tuition fee for finding someone to tutor after class is sky-high. From $50 an hour, the nanny is also sky-high, unless someone takes care of the children at home, because American public schools finish school early and have no homework.

Therefore, the United States is a paradise for the rich, a hell for the poor, a battlefield for the skilled, a graveyard for the unskilled, a paradise for children, and an Colosseum for the young.

Maybe some people are still not allowed to enter American customs, or their roots are still in the motherland. It's like being a guest at someone else's house. The mood is that they are rich, free and lonely. To tell the truth, people's social welfare is much better than ours. For three meals, for the house and for the children, we are busy day and night. . . I have no time to find loneliness.

That's just the impression left by people with assets after they went to America. Most ordinary people can only live near Chinese areas and slums, so they must scrimp and save, let alone enjoy the scenery! It's not their turn to do such a good mountain and water.

1, China people go to the United States through these channels. Traveling, studying, visiting relatives and friends, academic exchange, work visa, marrying an American, smuggling illegal workers, taking refuge and so on.

The United States is a country with vast territory and abundant resources and complicated human feelings, and it is also the country with the lowest welfare treatment among developed countries.

People who travel, visit relatives and friends, and have academic exchanges often fail to understand the real life of Americans. Many of them often only look at the superficial phenomenon, while most people in the United States are relatively warm, kind and fair on the surface. ...

But remember, this is often limited to the first three months when you know them.

2. The impression of getting along with white Americans.

Generally speaking, whites on both sides of the United States tend to be lively and generous. The more inland, the more stubborn and simple white people are.

The better the family, the better the white people with higher education, but the more hypocritical and utilitarian they are. This white man has a high IQ, but he is hypocritical. The nicer he is to you, the more careful you should be.

Most white Americans are not well educated, lazy if they don't work hard, and semi-unemployed all the year round. Eating costs money, and borrowing money is normal. But they have an advantage that they are relatively simple. Good and bad moods are all on the face, which makes it easier to distinguish and prevent them.

The white people in the agricultural and forestry belt in the central United States are another kind of scenery, that is, they have nothing to the outside world. It can be said that they are very simple and conservative, and they are particularly easy to be fooled.

3. What do people in China do to earn the most money?

In short, skilled manual labor is the most profitable! As long as you have a skill, such as water and electricity, carpentry, maintenance, decoration, machinery and so on. You can earn 300 yuan in a good day, pay in cash, and don't be found!

And other company employees, engineers, university teachers, etc. Need to work in the unit, their wages are flowing in the bank, but they don't make money! Because 70% of taxes, insurance, rent and income will be deducted, it's as simple as that!

90% of enterprises in the United States have less than 20 employees, among whom clerks have the lowest salary. For example, in a big city like Los Angeles, clerks earn only about $2,000 a month after tax, so it is very difficult to maintain their lives! The income is lower than that of people who wash dishes in Chinese restaurants 12 hours!

Therefore, Chinese who often do manual labor first sell and buy houses in the United States and play around; People in China who are engaged in mental work often scrimp and save, and dare not travel everywhere.

There is only one exception, that is, those who have assets to go to the United States again. They are lonely because of mountains and water, but it is equivalent to prepaying all the blessings of their children and grandchildren. After several years, they and their children and grandchildren have no good fruit to eat!

Summary:

America is neither heaven nor hell. Only suitable for skilled and hard-working people. For those who want to find a stable job and get rich in America, I advise you to go to bed early.

As the title suggests, there are indeed many such places in the United States, but if your pockets are empty, how can you enjoy the scenery? Is this a fact?

Legally in the United States, everyone can go to school regardless of age, and knowledge is wealth. This China is definitely not as good as the United States.

When you come to America, you want to be a cow and a horse.

You have to pay 30% income tax, 10% shopping tax, medical insurance, rent, car (necessities, by car), various living expenses (food, water, electricity, garbage, telephone charges, etc. ).

How much do you have left?

If you don't believe me, you can ask all Americans.

In the United States, as long as you have a moderate and stable income, it is no problem to support your family independently. You can live in a villa, drive a car worth hundreds of thousands in China, and occasionally take the whole family to travel. If my in-laws all work, life will be easier. In China, although there are holidays, there are crowds everywhere, which will make people want to stay at home. In America, even when walking, many places are picturesque, not to mention scenic spots. Now people from China travel to the United States. When they arrived in China for a long holiday, most of the scenic spots were lined up by China people. Walking on the streets of Las Vegas, there are all tour groups from China, but there is an illusion that they are in Macau. There is no doubt that China can't have the same standard of living and quality of life as the United States with the same income.

This time it's like seeing this news. Education and humanistic customs are different. That environment is more conducive to the growth of children. Just like in Britain, children are raised to be confident and optimistic. And when I grow up, my independent ability and positive creative ability are also considerable. On the other hand, it doesn't work in China. All studies are faced with the application ability after the exam, and the foundation is too poor, so. I don't recommend you to go to the United States, because the United States discriminates against China people too seriously. We often see that the news discriminates against China people, because Huanghua people are also timid, fragile and disunited, which leads to a surplus of bullying China people. For example, in the United States, their American aid to African Americans is not so provocative. Because black Americans are very United and aggressive. I hope everyone will stick together, whether at home or abroad. This will not be bullied.

Immigrating to America in the last century was the aspiration of many people. However, with the rapid development of China, the living standards of the people in China are gradually improving. Compared with the developed countries in America or Europe, the gap between them is getting smaller and smaller.

At present, due to years of barbarism and rapid development, the environment in China has been destroyed. Therefore, people's nostalgia for green mountains and green waters makes many people travel to the United States and think of green mountains and green waters when they come back. But life is not always faced with green mountains and green waters, as well as daily necessities. The life of many people in the United States is actually worse than that of China.

Therefore, if you want to live in green mountains and green waters and avoid many troubles and dangers that the United States can't imagine in China, don't choose immigration. It is the best choice to spend the money of immigrants in stages to travel to the United States and more countries with green mountains and green waters.
