Lol, you hit the nail on the head. I spent my HS years with lots of Asian immigrants and spent a good part of 5 years in college with mostly Asian students. Over half of the people in my major were Asians, lots of them were Chinese Americans and Chinese Nationals.
The Chinese Nationals stuck out like a sore thumb. They were like an army of non-persons. It's like they're there but not really there. They have no opinions, no emotions, no happiness, no outrage. Whatever happening in front of them could as well be happening in front of a bunch of robots. Well, that's how they showed it to the world. If you get robbed in front of them, they would politely step away and be on their way. Nothing bothers them, they're like the perfect products of the novel 1984.
Went skiing with a buddy back in the day, he was just learning how to board. At the bottom of the lift, one of the lift employees asked him bring a lost ski pole up to some people. Against his best judgement he accepted. Well the pole caused him to fall upon landing from the lift. He tumbled and badly cut his shin on the board. The group of Chinese tourists that the pole belonged to came and got the pole from him without a word of thank you or asking how he was. He was still on the ground screaming in pain when I helped him to the clinic. They had to put 5 staples into his shin. He was outraged but I knew better.
That's how they are. I think it's part of the old culture and part of the new culture brought on by the Commies. When you live with so many rules and manipulations, you learn to cheat and be oblivious to emotional situations because it could be govt manipulations and because you want to live. If your uncle just got boarded up in his house to die a couple of days ago, you learn to REPRESS it and keep on going like nothing happened
This is a video of a toddler being repeatedly run over. A lot of people could have helped but didn't. I read that the toddler died afterward:
In order to save ourselves we need to know exactly who we're dealing with. This is who we're dealing with.
Great post. There’s an even more heartbreaking story about a one-in-a-billion Chinese guy (young guy in his 20’s) who actually did risk his life to help someone.
This Chinese family’s young son had fallen into the lake at a park and no one, even his family, would jump into save him. This young guy happened to be on the scene, and he dove in to save the kid. So anyway, in the end, he manages to save the kid, but drowned himself afterwards.
The worst part is after he managed to get the kid close enough to the bank so his family could pull him out, they took their kid and ran away as the young man was himself still fighting to stay above water. As they were leaving, some onlookers (who of course themselves didn’t bother to help either), chased after the family and scolded them, saying the man who helped your son is trapped in the lake, and you’re just going to leave him? To which the family replied...
“It’s not our damn problem.”
The young man who saved their child’s life drowned. He had been walking his two dogs at the park when it went down. It was a huge story at the time, with a lot of Chinese netizens criticizing the family that walked away. Unfortunately incidents like this are common, and the brief internal reflections never lead to a substantive change in Chinese society.
They care about nothing and no one. Their idea of happiness is simply to be doing better in life than their neighbors. Friends are measured by the tangible benefits they can provide. Family is only as good as the face they can bring you when you get together in and start comparing what your kids have accomplished versus what your neighbor’s kids have accomplished.
