Humble immigrant Canadian Chinese (turn) Read no words

On this topic, there is already a lot of comments on the Internet, if it is ten years ago, people will feel that China can not be compared with Canada, the people who go abroad do not know how to envy. Now there is so much analysis and controversy about whether to stay or return, which is a lot of problems. I did not want to be involved in this debate, but read a lot of people's speeches, but also want to publish their own views, otherwise there will always be not vomit unpleasant feeling. Some people have been through a variety of analysis and comparison, the conclusion that China is better than Canada, immediately by others ridicule and retort. It is true that China has developed rapidly in recent years, but there are many social problems, farmers and urban laid-off workers living in the bottom of society, the gap between the rich and the poor, political system undemocratic, no freedom of belief, natural environment was destroyed. When I was at home, I used to talk to my friends about these issues and to express my dissatisfaction with the government, and when it came to the end, I was worried about China's future. But when I traveled all the way to Canada, and when I realized the hardships of being a social underclass, I had to rethink my past life. Some people say that Canadian workers are better than Chinese workers, Canadian teachers are richer than Chinese teachers, The average life in Canada is much higher than that in China. So Canada is better than China. It is true that there is nothing to refute. If China's farmers and laid-off workers come, will be very satisfied. But Canada wants them, the Canadian government is not a fool, under the new immigration law, only those with graduate degrees and four years of professional experience will be eligible to immigrate to Canada. In China 19 years of study, just accumulated a little experience, become the backbone of the business, just married or gave birth to a child, all the groundwork for the work in China to complete. 30 years old just as young and young, family harmony and stability, the cause of the beginning of the time, waiting to be looking forward to Canada to do Labour. How nice, Canada has the world's most educated dishwasher, porter, taxi driver, and all kinds of general labour. Whether we compare the life in Canada with the good life in China is to compare those who are qualified to be able to emigrate and compare their lives in Canada and in China. China's laid-off workers and migrants can not go to Canada, there is no thing, still need to compare? I also found an interesting phenomenon, those who think that Canada is good, many are more than 10 years of old immigrants, but think that the majority of China is less than 5 years of immigration, return is also three or five years of immigration. This is certainly the old immigrant life has been relatively stable, most of the purchase of housing. But another reason is that their memory of China is still fixed to the appearance of more than 10 years ago, and they do not have anything to worry about at home and the old age, the feeling of China has become very vague, very do not understand, the whole life is left in Canada. For new immigrants, they are very different, before they come out in the country have a good job, social status and material life, and most stillhave their own homes. Besides, the changes in China in the past more than 10 years are very big. Take our home and the city I live in (our city is said to be a typical development in recent years) ten years ago, our family of four people, living in 27 square meters suite, the kitchen only two square meters, if then came to live in Canada basement It also feels spacious. And now, my parents home, my brother's home, my own home are living more than 130 bungalows House, we all know, China is very popular decoration, the simplest is the package door package window, wood flooring. Of course, some people say that Canadians advocate simple life, Chinese people are tacky to decorate. I admit it, but if you go to the wealthy people in Canada and find out they're all tacky. Ten years ago we didn't know what a supermarket was, and now the number of supermarkets is saturated. Into the supermarket, only you can not think of, more than Canada's rich. The snacks will have a very large area, a variety of flavors, not like in Canada only a few monotonous varieties, looking not fresh, want to eat snacks have to do their own, but also said what their own hands is the joy of life. Like all kinds of cooked food, pasta, vegetables and you can think of daily necessities and so I do not say, in addition to the daily life of supermarkets, other like mobile phones, large electrical lines, all kinds of clothing stores, stores, countless restaurants, snacks, full street taxis and so on, I also do not waste ink. Once a netizen specially from eat, wear, live, row four aspects made comparison, come to the conclusion is only line, Canada is better than China, because the Canadian less, this is China in the short term can not be solved, I then because not to believe. There used to be friends abroad said, to think of anything more expensive than China, only the car is also cheaper, now with the development of China's auto industry, prices have dropped a lot. Many friends on the Internet are actually very clear about this, so they say, want to pursue material life, want to earn money to go home. We are in Canada for a better spiritual life. Then let's talk about the spiritual life. People who went abroad, if you ask them how they live, they will say, here to live is good, is to feel lonely, lonely, can not integrate into the Western cultural life. We will comfort say, slowly good. If people go abroad then it is really profitable, very materialistic. Today's immigrants can be more refined, direct is to better spiritual life. First speak the language, even if it is English again good, have Chinese good, even if can use English to cope with work and daily life, can use English freely, apart chat. Can be as easy as quoting Chinese idioms, ancient prose, slang and so freely quoting the relevant words in English? Can you understand Canada as well as the politics, economy, history and geography of China? Can you talk about celebrities in the West as well as the privacy of Chinese singers, movie stars and celebrities? Can you open your mouth and sing a western pop song, except that it has become a Chinese pop song "Yesterday" and "ghost"? Language itself is a very important lifeFun, if your English is not up to the above, you will be confined to a very small area when you talk to others, and you are not going to be able to talk to people very deeply. Second, the population, China is crowded, but not less people will be good. A few days ago to the domestic brother to call, he said he was going to play football, he said that although the schools and the city's stadiums have been open to the outside, but more people like ants. I said that there are three sports fields next to my home, he heard the eyes immediately (although not seen by the ocean, I can imagine) asked, is the lawn, there are not many people. I said the lawn was good, but there was no one. I've seen more stadiums here than people who play football, to be more precise, I've never seen a player who plays football and you won't find a friend when you come. He listened with some disappointment, and some pity said, that is not as good as a lot of venues. There are also people who say that back to China can not stand the infighting between people, life in Canada is simple. Chinese people like infighting, as if there are historical origins, many literary works are descriptive, this is also a fact. I think there is another reason for the intrigue is to eat enough to hold on. If a person even survival is a problem, every day for basic life busy also have no energy to think too much. If a person is only in the company to do a low-level technician, salesman or something, if you feel that you are away from the general manager's seat, you will not be thinking about the whole day to compete for that seat. You used to be a teacher in the university did not comment on the associate professor, you are not balanced, angry immigrants, now well, you are here to wash the car, the mentality is very good. I used to do computer maintenance in the bank, always think the leadership does not attach importance to technical personnel, a picture of talent, now good, finally met Bole after the interview found a job selling popcorn. You used to drink tea all day in the office, newspapers and complaints, but also not to rise in the vice of anger pretending not to work, now good, you sit in the factory every day next to the machine, like a machine 8 hours a minute can not be less operation. Of course, this is not a good mix of immigrants, although the number and proportion of a staggering. Sometimes I wonder if we come up with one-tenth of our resilience in Canada, if we come up with one-tenth of our good mentality here, if you're not thinking about promotion in China, To be at ease in a unit settle work, then what is what? There is no chance of promotion in Canada, so you don't have to think about it. Because every day only for the survival of the busy, no job to find work, there are jobs afraid of unemployment so simple life. Even if those who mix well are at least three orders of magnitude more than their job position in China. I know a friend who is thought to be a better mix of new immigrants. Now in a regular dealership as a sales representative, is the kind of the most basic sales staff. But after all, a formal job, has been very enviable. And he used to be the general manager of a big company in China. I also know the former Xinhua news agency reporter, now do car sales. InThe so-called success here is, after a few months to learn how to write a resume, send hundreds of resumes, after a number of interviews, and finally found a job at home do not deign to do. Is it true that Canada is so far superior to our motherland that we can see these skilled immigrants as worthless. Some friends say, no matter what, as long as they are happy on the line, do not care what others say. If this is the case, then there is no need to distinguish between Canada and China, because according to this view, the quality of life depends entirely on their own psychological factors, and the objective conditions have nothing to do. Then no matter where you live, just adjust your mind. I would like to ask those who have been a few years have been Labour friends, you are really so happy and happy, is from the heart of satisfaction or a AH Q-style comfort. There are a lot of friends here who have been taught to find solace. The thought that all is God arranges, also gradually numb. Of course, I know a couple of Christian couples who have emigrated for more than 10 years, and although they are not very well off, they are very content and devout to God. In their mind, Canada is the best place, do not say China, even the United States is not as good as Canada (to find a few Americans as inferior to Canada is not easy, here is not to discuss the United States), if they can really reach the level of their state, then the cultivation of the home. It became a real Canadian, not a Chinese with a Canadian passport. There is a lot of inequality in China, and bureaucrats who have money to exploit have no right to the people who don't have the money. But in China, many of us may have no chance to experience the hardships of living at the bottom. When I came to Canada, I worked as a volunteer at an elderly service center for a while. There are only four formal employees in the center for the elderly, and more than 20 volunteer and internship students. One of the employees is the leader, does not do the concrete work, only does the management work. The other employees are clearly working, and everyone is responsible for everything. Do not think that the volunteer is blind to help, like a formal job, can not be late to leave early, finished, and in the register to write the number of hours you do today. The task today is written on the work list. The average employee is more senior, arranging a day's activities, and the old people on a topic to discuss what. And like cleaning up the kitchen, cleaning the room, and transporting the old people, these are basically volunteers and internship students. When the old man plays some games, he sometimes divides into several groups, whether employees or volunteers are responsible for different groups. For example, the old man plays ball, I am in charge of picking the ball. Most of the volunteers were new immigrants who could not find jobs and a few locals who were willing to work. The student is that kind of training school to study the nursing, usually is the training four months, then does the practice which after the long time, can obtain the certificate. She can help people look after the old man's work. You must have a certificate for what you do here. I sometimes think that if all the volunteers and the interns are removed, the workload of the staff will increase a lot.But don't worry, because new immigrants are flowing, the old ones are gone and new ones are coming. There is also a co-op in Canada that teaches you how to find a job. Training three months first, teach you how to write a resume, how to interview, must go every day, not absence. Then according to your situation to help you contact an internship unit, for free three months. If the good luck after the completion, may be left, bad luck, then this half a year of work is all in vain. Those who accept co-op internship, often there will be interns, come a batch after batch, if everyone can stay, then how many people their company. There are still a few left. If you are in China, you are temporarily owed your wages, although the date of return is very remote. Here is more honest, directly to tell you is in vain, and you are willing to beg him for a vain. He does not have to like some of China's bosses have to rack their brains to fool you to work in vain. Canada is required to have Canadian experience in any job, that is, to recruit and then to work. And a lot of work must have a corresponding qualification certificate. This is very different from the employment situation in China. It should be admitted that this approach is more formal, not as chaotic as China, but it is bad for our new immigrants. Because, once you can not find a very professional job, plus the language is not very good, then your career scope can only be labour. Give a simple example. I am in China for the development and maintenance of a computer at a bank. If our bank needs a man to cut me off. So how do I get a job? I can go to other banks and apply for financial software companies. If I'm not technically able to do development, I can do maintenance, do testing, still can't find, that do after-sales service, pre-sales services, can not find, then jump out of the technology, do sales, after all, I am not dumb, and glib, but also familiar with the financial markets, after all, from technology to the market is not uncommon. Still can't find it, then jump out of the financial and computer bar, the programmer to change the typist OK, that do the office of the handyman, receiving faxes, photocopying and photocopying documents, sitting at the front desk to answer the phone, the reception of a guest down, do not ask what large companies, there are three of small companies on the line, what, still can not find, then for car sales, real estate sales, Only requirements of secondary school education, we are graduate students, even if the future is not good, not first let me try it. What not, then go to the restaurant end plate, market selling vegetables, wholesale markets rent a booth, home steamer steamed stuffed bun on the road to sell, if not yet. Finally, we can only be migrant workers. But in Canada, you don't need to be so complicated, you can get from a programmer to a migrant worker and skip a few of the links. Because you do not have the work experience, because your language is not fluent, because you do not have a certificate. So if you want to find a job in Canada, you have to excel in the skills and fluency of the language. Both must have the first, otherwise in the beginning of the years can only be migrant workers.? unconsciously wrote so much, actually I have a lot to say, such as the environment here is not really so clean,Children's education and the generation gap problem, this side of the cheater than China's still shameless, watch TV series 35 minutes insert an advertisement and so on. It's not necessary to think about it. The last thing I want to say is one more question. It's about patriotism. We have received patriotic education from an early age, perhaps it is a lot of listening to the rebellion, coupled with the government's corruption and inconsistent, making people feel very false about the word patriotic. In the past at home, always complained about the corruption of the government, social injustice, often said that people abroad how ... But we have never thought about what we can do for the country and the people, to understand that the government and the country are two completely different concepts, should not be because of dissatisfaction with the government to the whole of China abandoned. When I think back to my life in China, I suddenly found that it is not a society unfair to me, I owe the motherland too much. Think about going to school from a young age very not easy to participate in the work, I just went to the bank to work, there is no financial knowledge, the line let me go to the business unit (this is paid by the official staff), six months later, I went to the computer office, in fact, the banking system and procedures have not been contacted before, In the first half of the time is also the basic learning, can only do some simple work. It is only after a year of work that you can basically do some work independently. As I grew older and became the backbone of my business, I chose to emigrate to Canada. I used to work in a unit often 8 hours, even 4 hours can not do, the other time is to read the newspaper, Internet, steal to learn English. I work as a volunteer in Canada to take care of the elderly, respected no matter where are good moral norms, I am here to take care of those strangers to the old lady, to help them dress, arm them to walk, accompany them to do the game, I suddenly thought of my grandmother, grandma is more than 80, I grew up so big, Seems to have never looked after her, only know occasionally to see her, or grandma to cook for me. My parents are more than 60, I can not give them the slightest care, on the contrary, I also put my daughter to them, let them worry about my child care. I suddenly found that I was in my own country just take, did not do anything in return and dedication, went to a remote miles of a Canadian basement, consumption of money brought in China, for the Canadian government to pay high taxes. I know that the word "motherland" in the minds of many immigrants have become forgotten, unfamiliar. Only how to achieve self. Even though they have already regarded Canada as their motherland, they have forgotten that there is a China in the other side of the ocean that gave birth to him. Even if China has thousands of bad, we should not erase him from his own memory ah? When I write here, my tears are falling down, I know some netizens may also be sarcastic to me, laugh at me. But this is really my real feeling ah, this is also a harvest I come to Canada, I did not know the treasure, now understand. If I write this article can make you a little bit more touched, then I will be satisfied. Finally, back toOur topic, to stay or return-to realize the ego or waste life-why live-is more valuable to live, hope that every immigrant friend can think well, have a better plan for the future, do not regard China as a haven for its own desperation, And don't take China as a base for speculative profits. She is our motherland first. What did she do for you? What did you do for her?
