    Okay I know this is c/greentext and its not a serious comm, still just wanna infodump lol:

    So… in 1st grade I was in China…

    I remember them doing National Anthem… very similar to the US lol (as in the ritual, not the melody lol)

    They use rulers to hit kids lol… 😭

    I lucked out because my family emigrated…

    Forgot if I ever got hit by a teacher… if I did, I must’ve deleted that memory since it sounds kinda traumatizing…

    And they made us RECITE AN ENTIRE STORY! (Children’s story, but still) They made us stay afterschool for that 😭

    I STILL REMEMBER the 9x9 times table “poem” thingy from first grade, it’s forever burned into my head (okay this might be 2nd grade tbf, forgot when I learned it exactly)

    Article I found: https://yoyochinese.com/blog/Learn-Chinese-Multiplication-Rhyme-Time-Tables)

    Oh yes I can sing the Chinese national anthem¹ + the American one too…

    they played it too much the melody is forever stored in my hippocampus

    (¹Okay I might have looked up the exact lyrics later on as a teen…)

    And if I sing both, I get both sides to hate me… xD

    I feel like that kindergarden, 1st, 2nd grade… just those few years of school there makes me very distinct from ABCs (American-Born Chinese).

    Idk why but in my parent’s social circle… everyone seem to be some type of successful small bussiness owner and own several rentals or a bunch of stocks or like doing international trade or whatever…

    Like one of my aunts owns a 4 family home in Brooklyn and lease two of them out and combined two units on the 1st floor into 1… her husband is a college professor and has a real estate license… and also a bunch of trade licenses…

    (this is not the “married at 21 and have kids” story, its a different story)

    they have so much video game consoles at home…

    Their kids constantly go to some PAID afterschool thing and weekend school… (from what I heard)

    And I assume they also had to go to Chinese school since I’ve been told they learned Chinese? (lolol I didn’t have to cuz I actually went to 2nd grade in China so I already knew how to read)

    Like… literally the stereotypical Asian family… BUT THEY HAVE VIDEO GAME CONSOLES AND I DIDNT EVEN GET ANY WTF MOM?

    So I was told this cousin, around my age, apparantly went to go on to do international bussiness and “made millions of dollars” like early 20s…

    Nah I think they’re exaggerating…

    Their mom and dad (the mom is my aunt, who is my dad’s sister) owns real estate I think…

    I mean they used to have one in Philly and they asked my dad and mom to do property management for them… but later they sold it cuz its was too far and too much of a hassle…

    And my mom also have another friend (old classmate? or like and old teacher she used to have?) in Philly that owns like 5 rentals…

    Like my parents social circle is so weird…

    like everyone is just “middle class” and if you are just living paycheck to paycheck, you lose “face”…

    Like I think the vast majority of Chinese immigrants own their homes…

    So not owning a home is actually considered a failure lol…

    Mom: “I grew up with nothing, your grandparents didn’t give us anything, yet look at how much I’ve built [they have like a few hundred thousand to possibly 1 mill USD in assets], why can’t you do the same?”

    And funny thing is she also admitted that luck is part of the equation, but then still shamed us anyways…

    Like she often points to my cousin around my age that apprantly is doing some bussiness stuff overseas and made millions in profits…

    And like

    Oh this is funny:

    “Look at NYC! An IMMIGRANT BECAME MAYOR! [she’s talking about Mamdani] You came here at 8 years old, why can’t you be just like him?”

    😭

    Idk mom, Mamdani’s mom seems nicer than you… maybe that’s why… lmfao

    My older brother is about to go to China for like matchmaking and stuff and then if he finds someone, they’re gonna marry and then he’s gonna apply for his (hypothetical) wife to come to the US…

    So yeah, that’s irl

    (Context: My family is originally from China, mom be pressuring him to marry cuz “if he gets too old nobody would marry him” lol (he’s 28 btw))

    My aunt who are like “middle class” still goes abroad on vacations all the fucking time, its just bussiness as usual for them… I never hear about a border entry denial when they come back…

    (That said, I’m paranoid so I’m not gonna risk exiting since I don’t wanna risk not being allowed back in)
