Inspired by the recent c/AskLemmy question about Myanmar.


As a PRC-born ethnic Han-Chinese person who currently is a US Citizen and reside in the US, I'm curious on what people think of my former country.

Impossible writing.

Native Chinese speakers often forget how to write after they finish school. Especially exacerbated by technology. All you need to known is Pinyin.

Eating anything that moves.

My grandmother told me a joke, roughly translates to: "anything with 4 legs and with the back facing the sky, with the exception of a table, is food". I mean... there were famines, so you can't judge with western lens. You gotta eat whatever to survive.

People who don’t talk or even care about politics.

Its honestly the same with Americans. (to a lesser extent)

When I was in Highschool (in the US). Nobody in my classes seemed to be interested in voting. 🤦‍♂️

Depressed single young people obsessed with shopping.

Huh? I mean, I left when I was a kid so idk what this is, I never heard of this "obsessed with shopping" thing.

My family would say "the only thing on the 12 zodiac we don't eat is the dragon only because it doesn't exist."
