Life and Travel in China
A personal journal with stories, travel experiences, funny situations and everyday life in China
Let me just say that in China today there is no All Souls' Day as such, their culture also pays tribute to people who have passed away, but if I remember correctly it is a holiday in spring. I also admit that I have only once accidentally seen a funeral in the countryside (around Xi'an) and only once have I seen a large cemetery (about 20 km outside the metropolis of Shenzhen), and I don't know what funerals are like here. I suppose because of the huge population, cremation is more popular and practical than traditional burial.
In Polish schools there are only dramas, some massive aggression. Maybe if kids in Poland went to school like their peers in China, they wouldn't have time, inclination or energy for fooling around and vulgar behavior. In the middle of nowhere, you go to school from Monday to Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., with an hour break for lunch. And on Sundays, extracurricular activities, courses, etc. These children have no time or strength for nonsense, they only study, and sometimes they also help their parents with their work, for example in some small shops.
I met this interesting girl... 23 years old, unemployed, taking some English course. Why isn't he working? He doesn't have to, because he has a sponsor. A 36-year-old man from Taiwan, obviously married with children, comes to Shenzhen on business for a few days every month and here he has a permanent mistress whom he maintains. Besides, he is not the only one, the guests from Hong Kong are the same and this is Chinese loyalty. I know that their king had 365 wives in the old days, but I don't think they should consider themselves kings and cultivate such a tradition. It's none of my business, but girls like that piss me off, they only think about money. And these guys can wipe themselves with banknotes and think that they can do anything outside the house. Why do they start families at all?
I'm currently listening to the electoral block (local elections) in the third program of Polish Radio. And I come to the conclusion that whoever we choose there, it will be paradise in Poland. Work, safety, free education, environmental protection, fight against drug addiction and prostitution, lower taxes... it's nice to hear. Their promises are really good!
The current population in China is 1,316,734,858, but tomorrow this number will be higher.
