China has been being one of the hottest topics since 3 years , ' world factory ' , ' consistant GDP growth at 9%' , GDP per capital catched ' 6000 USD ( do remember we have 1.3billion population ) , no to mention the worldwide boom to learn chinese , the ' everybody wanna discover and understand chinese 5000-years culture thing , which me , as a Chinese , can't understand even just a small portion of ...
It's said that China would catch up the states in 10 years , that China is being really rich , here we mean East coast of China ... It's said that China is still poor , a great percentage of population are still lack of basic living necessities , not readily water , never seen TV in their lives etc , here we talk about West of China where the majority are farmers ...
One of my finance prof has asked me before ' why don't they go on strike , or make another civil war to change their situation ? ' ' why they accepted to stay like this ? it's so unfair ... ' Well , I kept silent and laughed ... People usually know how to say ' no' when they know the differences btw 'yes' and ' no' , I'm not discriminating anyone , but for most of them who still have Mao's pic on , who never know what the life is like behind their mountains , who even don't have ' strike ' in their vocabularies ... ' so there's TWO ChinaS ? ' -- Well , I might say ' yes ' , for a country who wanna take 30 years to make up the losses made by arrogant ' self-satisfied policy ' 100 years ago , to make up the harshest losses made by our Civil War , well , we need Two or even Three China , the balance would be found , however , not for the time being ... ' If you go to the west , will they consider you as a chinese then ? ' -- that's actually a good point , well , ' for the dress I'm taking , maybe not , yet for the language I speak, I would let them know we actually are from the same origine , our ansiens were probably living in the same village , then the immigrantation happened , we split up... But there's something we have in common , I could promise by my family name with , that we all love our country , we are proud of being a tiny portion of this country with 5000 years' amazing history , of the chinese passport we're holding ... I was always asked by people around since years that " why don't you ask for another nationality " -- to me , I have only one question mark ' Why should I ??? ' To me , changing nationality for unnecessary reason is like abandonning your kids or quitting your family , me , to be honest , don't see there's any bad points to be a chinese ...
Being a Chinese in France , like in any foreign country in the world , I was ' confronted ' by the question of ' staying ' or ' leaving ' after your study ... I remember years ago , once , a friend of mine told me that if you wanna stay , you should work on your language and your skills and get a company who wants you even before your graduation ... I didn'r say anything , or I couldn't at the time being that I was still a kid partying and having fun ... 2 years later , now , I luckly got my job , and the chance to ' stay ' , I cherish what I have , but clearly , France is a short plan , yet China is a long one , France is a ' hotel' I stayed for a while , China is my home rooted in mind , and it you ask me the choice btw ' french ' and ' chinese ' , no way to compromise , I'm a chinese , and that's where my 'root ' came from , and where it should go ...

now , I luckly got my job , and the chance to ' stay ' , I cherish what I have , but clearly , France is a short plan , yet China is a long one , France is a ' hotel' ......
If I am a German for example, I could consider France as a 'hotel' as I want it to be.
If I am a Chinese, I still have to get 'chances' to be capable of considering France as a 'hotel' whenever I want to stay.
