@emma.lifeinchina: When I first landed in China, I was £1500 in my overdraft with zero idea who I was or what I was doing. Two years later I came back with a positive bank balance and a TEFL certificate.. still none the wiser. And while I recognise my privilege as a white British passport holder, the 1.4 billion people from every background imaginable building genuinely wild success stories doing all sorts of different things.. Gives me the feeling that everything is possible. And more importantly - because of the cost of living, whether I had £30k or £100 in my bank account, I could always afford to buy myself a bunch of flowers. So while everyone says there’s no freedom in China, I think they’re wrong. Follow along for part 2 🇨🇳

China is really not free. I was sentenced to three years for fighting. When I was in prison, I was not even allowed to go home.

I felt real freedom in China because every week I could walk out to the street alone, called a taxi to drive me to karaoke club.

yea even when I was only making roughly 500 pounds per month many years ago, life was not difficult at all. the cost of living is incredibly affordable.

The freedom you were talking is different from what Chinese want to have

China is not 100% perfect, instead, there is no sudden gun shot , no serious street crime, no drugs abuse, no safe = no freedom 😎

TThis salary can be said to be what you want to buy in many cities in China, and there is no pressure.
