@asian.rebel.club: The Asia your parents escaped from is gone. Diaspora Asians face a unique grief returning to countries that no longer exist as they remember. The West may have seemed better, but the world changed and so did the opportunity. You can’t change the past, but you can decide your next move. Have you ever felt like you’re grieving a life you never got to choose? #AsianDiaspora #ReturningToAsia #CulturalIdentity #GriefAndGrowth #asianrebelclub
All the racial discrimination and self hate for nothing

Those who abandoned China in times of need, and continued to slander the motherland on behalf of the west, shouldnt be allowed to come back.

Chinese tell me that the reality is that China’s economy will collapse in the near future. It’s all smoke & mirrors. Most Chinese still want to move out.

The people who are the most bitter Chinese Americans are those former land owning Shanghainese who sold their property to move to the US. Sure some of them became successful, but if they stayed their families would have generational wealth.

I am 3rd generation Chinese in Malaysia,our grand parents left during the century of Humiliation to find a better life. With a better life, money and knowledge, we can help China more by sending money or come back to help China. Now we all hope to Return back to China.

Oh cmon. Stop romantisizing it. I spoke to Chinese Americans and they know the wage to standard of living ratio in their hometown is still way below than in the US. Yes, Asia is more hi tech in infrastructure but going back is still a downgrade. Anyone can ask Gemini the country's GDP or salaries and compare it to California. Who's better off? I want to travel there though and buy some toys.

My family migrated decades ago, so I don’t hold them accountable for their decision to leave because it was the “right decision” at the time. I just wish the option was there for me to return because the American experience has run its course, and I don’t have any attachments here (beyond family). 😕

My situation is different. My mother knew that I’d be better off staying in China while she had to come to US for work. My step mother worked at a government owned company. By the time I graduated college I would be able to be grandfathered into the company she worked for. Anyone living in China would know that that would be a pretty nice and easy future ahead. However since she and my dad divorced when I was very young she did not want me to feel abandoned by her so she took me with her, I was 8th grade at the time. I turned out okay and I visit China and my dad often but I do wish she had let me stay instead.

Right decision at the time. Missed the cultural revolution, most of the civil war, warlordism and all of suffering attached to it.

Holy shit the average American lives way better than the average Asian in terms of standard of living. Just because Asia has flashy skyscrapers doesn’t mean it’s a better place to live. Yes you are gonna have rich people in Asia, but the vast majority of ordinary citizens.

That’s what I can’t understand about the educated middle class from India. The opportunities are vast, only reduced by them leaving

Mr. Z :
Correct assessment. The price your parents or even grandparents to get to the US just for you to be treated as a 2nd class citizen is just not worth it.

Could Woulda shoulda. Cant live in the past; parents made the best decision they could at that time. You can’t predict the future and you can’t live with being bitter. Onwards and forwards.

When my father go back to visit relatives in China when I was 10, he told me they have one TV in the whole village and chicken and pigs ran in and out of their house. 35 years later, when I follow my uncles to visit them in China, they have successful business, 1 own a 5 storey restaurant, 1 own a coconut processing factory and another is a co-owner of a huge food production factory.
