The concept to the American after being thoroughly subversion   

2013-02-18

    Bai Yansong in his "you think American is a paper Chinese puncture a fallacy with one remark", a very many people do not want to face the reality:

    "Mentioned America, maybe people would immediately think of, this is a modern country. The fast pace of urban life, flashing neon lights, restaurant and bar. People cheat infighting, indifference, the family concept is not strong, very open terms, all consuming desire is very strong, money is god. To American you'll find out, now China described above accords with the situation, and USA relationship is not too large".

    A little Bai Yansong said is true, those of us who earlier came to America life, almost all gone completely adjustment on this concept: we are taught in China when American real and true USA not how community, which in addition to social ideology, and some of the values and the outlook on life of things, here I will list some of my own to America after they have been revolutionized the concept.

1Persist in the work, is a kind of irresponsible behavior

In the domestic media one-sided propaganda someone, commonly used adjective is dedicated to "persist" level. To America found, people first, ill should rest, persist in the work of their irresponsible, on their own are not responsible to expect you to others or job responsibility? What say you flu may have also contagious, to public places and work units are not sincere to make other people infected? Later in the America born is contagious disease, the doctor will tell you to stay at home, need to go to the public after a long self isolation, this is public morals, is socially responsible performance.

The public is cough should cover your mouth

2, declined the car house, high salaries to retain only

    Doctor a "declined America car house high salaries" stay put one's foot down, back when I go abroad will be in my professional field, university education is even as typical widely publicized, who later float upon the clouds, has now become a hot figure(Although civil disputes).

    To USA later you'll find out, whether rich or poor car is only the necessities of life, no cars like no legs; and American house mostly single family homes, also is the villa's mouth, more than half American families are all single family homes, so the car house is only the basic life necessities the. Another familiar America application procedures people know, American working position to offer application by oneself, the Admissions Committee screening ringworm [] (readers choose correct) after interview accepted, if they don't apply, Americans chasing to your position? At the beginning of Einstein nor the treatment ah? And Americans choose to others with respect, mouth, polite, heavy "retention" that is a bit different habits of americans. 

This is the ordinary residential, is not a luxury

3Food marketing, several oceans are actually to Chinese food

    Don't go abroad often see such propaganda: a food exported to the world on five continents, loved by people all over the world. In a foreign country only know, most of these things only are in the Chinese supermarket to see, is to the Chinese as the sales target, because the flow rate because of the small American, Ministry of agriculture and food and drug supervision and Administration(FDA)These products not America mainstream supermarkets that have frequent and strict monitoring, there will be more bad businessmen are using loopholes in the law, bypassing the various quality limit the introduction of Chinese supermarket. And sold in large supermarkets for Americans of Asian food, mainly from Japan and Taiwan, producing almost untraceable. Ordinary Americans might buy Chinese producing clothing and daily necessities, almost no possibility of talking about food, America supermarket America growth of Chinese cabbage most Americans can't name, mostly Asians in the buy.

 The Chinese supermarket is the most China exports place

4Western politicians, not what great

    In China if you have a president, prime minister, even is the governor, mayor separate photo you must be very great, because most of these leaders may have life have no chance to see, even if it is far to cast a glance. But government officials America is on its own election voters elected, you have many opportunities to see them in their campaign, if you asked for a photo with words they must hold you put the most beautiful posture, illuminated the family still thank you for your support. Members and other officials after his constituency people need help, senators wrote would receive a reply, the office can not solve even layers to report, a cousin of my green card after grounding is in Virginia when members of the mediation resolved quickly.

5First, the family, even if the money and work to family

    I met in the Chinese when money and separated people also really many, especially in the army, even in a land also may have to work round the clock, the material things to see more than all, missed his wife gives birth to a baby, the delay for children and not to the old service etc.. To USA know, to do so would be despised by others. In America, many desks are placed in the family photos, photo enjoyable that American family values, after hours and weekend time belong to the family, all of the festival is one family quietly together. A Sohu recent overseas friends to do a small operation, her husband canceled all business talks, would rather pay for their own pay talks delay stranded also want to accompany her operation, is typical of the overseas Chinese family values.

Such a family photo is updated every year, appeared in the parents office desk

6In Western dress and leather shoes, to see

    Since that is easy to judge people by outward appearance at home, in order not to be underestimated in Western dress and leather shoes skirt fluttering brand packaging has become almost a must, in Chongqing on the street selling cooly Bang Bang army were put on a suit. To USA found suit is take the matter seriously very formal occasions, dress, church wedding, funeral, graduation ceremony, an important commercial reception, defense and so on, if you do not have what thing a formal dress. This day will keep people ask you why"Dressup", in American judge people by outward appearance is very easy to make a mistake, the rich are not depending on the brand packaging, not cars, big house, but in the quiet, a neat white teeth(Very important), a bronze skin(Afford a holiday basking in the sun)A fit body(Leisure gym)The most important is, big donations every year for Charity Association and the church.

7, "to find the relationship between the", "people say" not to believe the law

    What things in China are looking for relationships, for example, hit a car is not down to have a look whether the other party injured need assistance, but each call to the scene to help. Know that as long as people with no casualties thing is not what to American, other keep calm believe justice police and rely on the insurance company after. Can do within the prescribed American laws and regulations do not find people can do well, illegal things to find a person to also do not, so everyone have to act first check the relevant provisions of the customs. Some people still like to hear people say "" inert, results circulate erroneous reports mistake instead of a lot of things, after that I specifically wrote this.

8Reading University, is a person to form, and not in the way and improve value

    Before going abroad, accustomed to the university entrance exam "liyutiaolongmen" story, although different, but the degree of label still seems worth weight, shortly before the survey data show that Guangdong, many college students would rather not income employment must find the office even low wage work, even if the factory work off the shelf immediately his high wages is not willing to go to university graduates. But to the American you'll find out, highly educated intellectuals do ordinary work is not fresh, doctor of philosophy I have seen the opening of India taxi, Eastern European musicians do Geography Department of decoration, born in find teachers work before in the furniture shop when the waiter, engineering, sales in car shop. On the other hand, will have a cleaner in Columbia University got the Classical Literature Bachelor's degree, and the truck driver loves Shakespeare long-distance travel leisure wrote let insider shocked scripts, proportion of population USA university or higher education is far higher than the Chinese, and the pursuit of education is a kind of form, and not rise head and shoulders above others relationship.

9, credit is very important

    In China said not, never mind the things I would not have detailed example. To know USA after a personal credit records and their social security number tightly together, this record directly affects a person's ability to borrow to buy a car buy a house, or even affect a person's employment, such as to the position of the majority of federal and state government are required to have a good credit record.It is because everyone valued their credibility, so that people become simple many, and no longer need to use every day five thousand years of cultural accumulation and smart to wits.

Everyone has their own credit scores

10Divorced men, like the grass roots

    Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, here I laughed, in the domestic situation would not have said to me. In American divorce, what are out to his wife, half man, if the wife does not have the ability to make money and then pay alimony after divorce his wife in order to ensure the standard of living is not decreased significantly, until her remarriage or death; child support is not less than the number of States, shall pay to the18Old men, and payment of alimony no tax rebate and so on, it is worth a man divorce immediately shrink, so, American man seldom to raise the mistress, the fourth thing happened, but go home after work, weekend to accompany the child wife.

"Family man" rememberNicolasCageThis famous movie?

    The above various,Because of my own experience, of course, there are a lot of life, such as work experience and experience is very important, for the money of frequent job hopping will often The loss outweighs the gain. and so on, the overall feeling is very much agree with Bai Yansong in the "you think American is China" ending words:

    "The current China, because of desire, our humanity in the backward phase",

    Instead, what we always thought that occupy the moral high ground of Americans, they pursue actually has little to do with the matter, but away from the soul the very close.
