Note: When I think over my life experience in China, I don’t regret that I was born in a developing country, but there is one thing that’s really regretful. That is that I had to spend so much precious time and energy to do things that the ruling party forces the Chinese people do to keep their ruling forever. We already stood in a starting line far behind the people from developed countries because we were born in China. Then we have to bear a lot of loads from this ruling communist party to go forward. For example: a lot of “must pass” political courses.

M: they care a lot about what opinions of other people are about me.
