I implore anyone who has dellusions of china grandeur, come over and live here for at least TWO years. The first year will be your 'china blue pill' period, the second your 'china red pill'. I really don't think most of you even know the true history of China or the culture, if you did, you'd be absolutely disgusted with yourselves for doing business here. Unless you are already a criminal in your own country or somehow bound for hell... then I can understand.
Modern China was built by a man that said "Get rich first, then second, you can help others". The helping part never came. Every single CHINESE person who lives in CHINA will tell you that Chinese had a completely different value system only 20 odd years ago. That has been completely wiped away over the mindless pursuit of riches. What people will do here for money is appalling. You think contributing to this mess is helping you? Just wait until your country is run by these people and you are the one working for THEM.
I've only recently found god from being here among the godless. You want to see evidence of true evil, come and live among the rich and their children.

I wish sh1t like this were the exception but this happens here EVERYDAY.
I'll give you a little look into my week. My wife and I are standing at a bus stop. Bikes are passing in the road infront of us, it had just rained. An old man loses his balance and takes a spill, nothing serious. He grabs the bike infront of him for what looks like stability and hauls the woman and her grocery box into the pavement. He gets up and brushes himself off. The woman hits the pavement hard but sort of gets up and manages to get her stuff off the road and runs over to the now wailing old man.
She helps him to check out his bike, no damage. He checks himself, no damage... then
He grabs onto her.
The VERY next thing out of his mouth is: "YOU PUSHED ME, YOU OWE ME MONEY!"
She then proceeds to hand him a 20 rmb bill. Wherein he throws it back in her face and is now rolling around on the ground screaming like a banshee that he needs to goto the hospital and starts hitting the woman.
This is happening not 2 feet away from my wife. Traffic hasn't stopped by the way, its just doing large circles around the 2 bikes. Police vehicles are driving by, they don't care. A large crowd is gathering to watch the two, NO ONE IS INTERVENING. I tell my wife "translate everything I say exactly". I walk inbetween the old man and the woman to deflect a few of the hits and call him out on what he is doing. Chinese people dislike foreigners but they take notice when we do things that are morally correct (because most of them are morally bankrupt). There is an epidemic in China of old people falling over and claiming good samaritans pushed them (then being richly rewarded for it). I didn't do this for the woman, I did it because people need to start standing up for whats right and by god, I will not stand by while this happens.
He says to me "Foreginer this does not concern you, get out of CHina we do not welcome you here, leave or I will call my friends to handle you", translated into Chinese, its actually extremely rude. At this point my wife, usually quiet and reserved, runs up looks at the crowd, says something in Chinese and the two of us start yelling at him. Then a few people from the crowd step in and start shouting at this man, before we knew it the entire crowd is yelling at him. He gets back on his bike and proceeds to ride down the street without any problems.
Had we not intervened this would be one more Nanjing incident on TV.
Later that day, I'm walking across the street in Zhujiang Newtown with my wife, my TA and two of my young students and a luxury landrover comes flying at us. I just managed to get the kids out of the way but my wife was infront of it just as it screeched to a halt. The driver, a woman on a cell, then gets out and screams at my wife for being in the way of her car. The story has a good ending though. As I walk away complaining about China, She gets back into the car, we hear the door slam shut, she steps on the gas and T-BONES 2 cars infront of her in the intersection.
Just another day in the heavenly kingdom and yes I live in the same city as the elevator life guys. It happened in the same neighbourhood. Live among the people for a year and you'll see no end of this stuff, if you still want to do business with them by the end of it, then may god have mercy on your soul.
