Chinese emigre in Britain, child of true believer Reds, can't quite get herself to like the country, but also can't quite get herself to return to the ancestral land. Whiny in the way many Guardian articles tend to be, but vaguely amusing.

Good grief. After spending at least the first half of the article complaining about life in England she says, "At the end of the Chevening scholarship I was supposed to go back to China. But I didn’t want to."

I would not want to live in either China or England but if I had to, and having been to both, I would quickly choose England.

This is a pile of emotional crap. None of the facts back the emotions. I would forget this. This lady has lots of choices. Most of the world would love to be her. She is just selling a magazine article.

Actually, something similar had happened to me (not that I have any sympathy for her)..

After being through both the USAF and US Army, I had forgotten that I had a delayed University Loan (was around $10K)...

About 2 months after I received my 2nd passport (renewal).. I had gone to the Embassy in Tokyo (had to get something or another stamped to get married).

The Japanese worker @ the window asked for my passport, I handed it over (no problem ;))

She then took out a device/tool than crunched it on my passport that poked holes through it diagonally that spelled out “CANCELLED”

She just invalidated my 2 month old passport >.<

Long story short, she hates foreigners ;) (she actually had a big smile on her face as she destroyed my 2 month old passport)... >.<

This piece of propaganda is from the Guardian. Why am I not surprised.

Typical Guardian piece, indeed, full of holes in it and with the typical lack of comments.

Chinese girl, who doesn’t speak English (but has read the Forsythe Saga) goes to England to find the Dada Movement but instead finds that no one speaks to her, it rains a lot and somehow wealthy Marylebone is full of teenagers straight out of Clockwork Orange!

Of course, what this pathetic No Speakee The English doesn’t get to until about the 10th paragraph is that she was apparently accepted at a nice British film school to learn how to be a documentarian and has a background in European film. So much for being a coolie practically begging for a job on the rail!

In the end just another I Hate the West Because It Doesn’t Resemble The Sh*thole From Where I Came hit piece.

Cfikes! What a whine fest. This is what you get with a one child policy. Spoiled, whiny 30 year old adolescents.

She couldn’t go to the “Blitish Counsel”?

It’s amazing how people are surprised by the actions of despots. When you go home to your country, it is best to complain about life in America because if you tell the truth, people get angry. One of my bosses went home to his home country and people wanted to know how many gunfights he had seen and was he ever threatened by the KKK.
Unless they have lived here, they cannot comprehend it. The first year International students live in terror of the police. If they have never been to the US, they get a crash course from an upperclassman.
