If you first visit the United States from China, you may have no impression of the city, and the countryside is just like the countryside. On the other hand, after living here for some time, I found that there is basically no social life, unlike China and calling friends, where there are meals every day. It is often said that the life of Chinese in the United States is good mountains, good water and lonely. So what is the real situation? The United States is a vast country with few people, and its residence is relatively scattered, unlike China, where we all live together and hear about each other. In fact, the real rural areas in the United States simply don't see people. The so-called neighbors have to drive for 5 to 11 minutes recently. Therefore, from the perspective of scenery alone, the United States is a country with a vast territory and a sparse population, and the national urban agglomeration is just the east and west banks. Among them, the population on the east coast is slightly concentrated, and in the west coast, taking Los Angeles as an example, the 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 21 years ago, I found that there were few pedestrians on the road. Everyone was in the car, and only the shopping center could see the crowd. Compared with the hustle and bustle of people on the streets of Beijing, it is simply heaven and earth, and it is very uncomfortable to drive. I always feel very stuffy in my heart and don't know how to spend my days. There is also an immigrant man, who doesn't speak English, and emigrated completely 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 the United States for a long time, I will feel that this quiet lifestyle is very comfortable. The longer I live, the less I like the noisy people. Houses like privacy and don't want to be too close to others. Planting some flowers and plants in the backyard is not big enough. Lifestyle, in particular, has its own plans. Everyone pays attention to keeping their own private time and doesn't like meaningless time-wasting dinners. In a sense, the United States is an easy way to achieve rural life, and now the anti-urbanization idea is more and more dominant, and people prefer the 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 happy life.

Chinese living abroad is 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, so there must be many differences in culture, lifestyle and even nationalities and beliefs. However, all Chinese people have lived tenaciously with their intelligence and hard work, and some people have developed to a certain extent.

Chinatown in the United States is not only a way of life for Chinese, but also a witness to the development of Chinese and the inheritance of Chinese culture.

Of course, you said that the life of Chinese people in the United States is good mountains, good water and lonely, which is true. There are several main reasons:

First, after all, Chinese people are not the mainstream life circle in the United States, so many Chinese people still live in Chinese circles, even if they have lived in the United States for several generations, they still live in Chinese circles. Although Chinese people like to get together and don't like to integrate into the local mainstream culture, they have inherited the Chinese cultural tradition, but there are also problems that they can't integrate into the local mainstream society.

Second, the chances of Chinese entering the upper class in the United States will definitely not be many, and it will definitely not be the same as in China, where all Chinese get along well. Moreover, there are few Chinese at the top of big companies. Chinese people like to start their own businesses and be independent, so they usually focus on catering industry and trade, so although life is carefree, it is very hard.

Third, the United States doesn't have a lot of social activities as in China, because people live in relatively scattered places and are not as concentrated as in China, so there are not as many social activities as in China, and Americans focus on family life, so there are not so many activities outside the family. Generally speaking, in addition to a small number of regular and irregular unit parties, families in the United States are mainly fixed parties.

Fourth, compared with the colorful and dazzling nightlife in China, life in foreign countries is relatively monotonous. In addition, Chinese immigrants to the United States are mainly families, so they don't have as much business life in China. Generally, they go to parks and shopping malls at weekends at most. Therefore, compared with domestic life, it is really good mountains and good water.

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

So, life is not good or bad, but you are happy.

I'm a cultural critic. Welcome to pay attention and leave a message.

I'm glad to answer some questions that can help others. I'm a travel enthusiast. I've been to dozens of countries to talk about my feelings after going to the United States, and I only love my motherland and hometown more after going to the United States.

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 worthy of praise. The raw materials of American food are up to standard, and there will be disadvantages if there are advantages. Let's not talk about the advantages of the United States, but talk about what is not as good as China after going to the United States, or what is not suitable for us.

The real America is actually not so good. We are just more curious about the United States. When you arrive in the United States, you will get online. The efficiency of the United States is lower than that of China, the pressure of work is greater than that of China, and the competition is quite difficult. The high rent and taxes make you have to pay more attention to your work. The most important thing is the safety problem. The risk factor of girls in the United States many years ago is much greater than that in China. These safety problems are more serious than those who have been to the United States and are more serious than those on TV.

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

after the legal holidays, let's talk about how 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 the United States too willful? Looking across the United States, only California, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island clearly have to provide "paid maternity leave". Of course, when it comes to short maternity leave, China can definitely rank high. Generally speaking, China only provides maternity leave of 14 weeks, and it will be increased flexibly under special circumstances. But even so, it is two weeks longer than American mothers who are eligible for maternity leave. Look at Norway in Europe, and Sweden's maternity leave of more than one year can only be secretly envied by both China residents and Chinese in the United States.

The United States is a solidified society at all levels, and there are standards for salaries in all walks of life. You can't break through this standard.

High-tech application, mobile internet technology, because it represents the future development direction, all major companies are willing to give young people opportunities with high salaries and high benefits. If you have these conditions, the United States is a paradise.

If you have no skills, can't cook, can't craft and can't speak English, you will be a neighbor, partner and associate with your black brothers and become an outcast abandoned by the mainstream American society. America is hell.

The United States is a country that pays more for more work and pays more. 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.

American school districts are very expensive, especially those where white people live. They have perfect properties, first-class environment, first-class libraries and first-class schools. You can't buy a house only if you have money. You have to pass the examination of the owners' committee to prove that you have no criminal record, no bad hobbies, no credit default and identity.

When you live in the school district, you have to pay all kinds of sponsorships, such as school sponsorship, library sponsorship and police sponsorship, in order to ensure that your children have books to read, a place to take care of them and police protection for three minutes. Because the United States is a capitalist country, services are paid, and the police will refund you if they don't arrive for three minutes.

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

Your children can only go to public schools. Education for children in public schools is free, but the tuition fee for finding someone to tutor after class is sky-high, starting at $51 an hour, and the nanny is sky-high, unless someone takes care of the children at home, because American public schools finish early and have no homework.

So America is a paradise for the rich, a hell for the poor, a battlefield for skilled people, a graveyard for unskilled people, a paradise for children and an Colosseum for young people.

Maybe some people are still not allowed into the American customs, or it is better to root in the motherland. This is like being a guest at someone else's home, and this feeling is that they are rich, free and lonely. To tell the truth, people's social welfare is much better than ours. We are busy day and night for three meals, for the house and for the children. . . I don't even have time to find loneliness

That's just the impression left by people with assets after they go to America. Most ordinary people can only live near Chinese areas and slums, so they must scrimp and save, not to mention enjoying the scenery! It's not their turn to do such a good thing as good mountains and good water.

1. These are the only channels for Chinese to go to America. Traveling, studying, visiting relatives and friends, academic exchanges, work visas, marrying Americans, 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 can't know the real life of Americans. Many of them often only look at the superficial phenomenon, while most of the United States are warm, kind and fair on the surface ...

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

2. Impression of getting along with white Americans.

On the whole, white people on both sides of the United States tend to be flexible and generous. The farther inland, the more stubborn and simple white people are.

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

However, most white Americans have a low education level, are lazy and lazy when they don't work hard, and are underemployed all the year round. It's normal for them to live beyond their means and borrow money. But they have an advantage that they are relatively straightforward. Good and bad moods are all on their faces, which makes it easier to distinguish and prevent them.

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

3. What jobs do Chinese people do to earn the most money?

in a word, skilled manual labor is the most profitable! As long as you have skills, such as water and electricity, carpentry, maintenance, decoration, machinery, etc., you can earn 311 dollars on a good day, pay in cash, and don't be found!

while other company employees, engineers, university teachers, etc. need to work in the unit, their salaries are all flowing in the bank, but they don't make money! Because of taxes, insurance and rent, 71% of the income will be deducted, as simple as that!

91% of enterprises in the United States have less than 21 employees, among which clerks have the lowest salary. For example, in a big city with several countries in the United States, the after-tax salary of clerks is only about $2,111 a month, so it is very difficult to make ends meet! The income is lower than that of people who wash dishes in Chinese restaurants in 12 hours!

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

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

conclusion:

America is neither heaven nor hell. It is only suitable for people who are skilled and willing to work hard. For those who want to find a stable job in the United States and want to make a fortune, I advise you to rest early.

As the title asks, it is true that there are many such places in the United States, but if your pockets are empty, how can you enjoy the scenery? Is this the truth?

When you come to the United States legally, everyone, regardless of age, can go to school. Knowledge is wealth, and this China is absolutely inferior to the United States.

When you arrive in the United States, you have to be a cow and a horse.

You have to pay income tax of 31%, shopping tax of 11%, medical insurance premium, rent, car (necessities, taking a car as a means of transportation) and various living expenses (food, water, electricity, garbage and telephone charges, etc.).

how much do you have left?

if you don't believe it, you can ask all Americans.

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