Taishan is great, where aunts and mothers all marry Americans! In Taishan, most people want to go abroad. Some girls, in order to leave the country, are even willing to marry old, ugly, sick, or disabled men if necessary!
Look at those overseas Chinese who have left – aside from a small number who have become successful, most of them just wash dishes, serve tables, or work in "three K" jobs (dirty, dangerous, and demeaning), treated as third-class citizens abroad.
Yet, strangely, in Taishan, when one person goes abroad, the whole family feels honored! As long as someone in the family has gone overseas, they boast about it with immense pride!
It’s said that matchmakers who specialize in introducing eligible bachelors from abroad operate openly in Taishan's cities. They charge tens of thousands for each introduction, yet there’s still high demand!
I truly don’t understand what’s so good about going abroad. The language barrier, unfamiliar surroundings, being far away from home and roots…
Or maybe I’m just someone who can't have the grapes, so I say they're sour?
