You're right @
Edison Chen There is nothing more that I dislike than people who try to talk big about themselves, and putting others down. Its a pet peeve of mine.
I admire Chinese people , the ones that i've met, for being very humble. They are humble when they are poor, and even the ones that have 'mad it big' still retain humility.
When i first came to America for graduate school, I had rented a room from a Chinese family who rented out their basement. The owners, both elderly Chinese couple, screened me from head to toe (LOL) and made sure I was able to make my month's payment. I guess they had a history of renters not paying. They live quite close to the university that I attend.
Anyways, i lived with them for the first 2 years i was here in the United States. The lady renter was like a 2nd mom to me, I always called her 'Zhongguo Mama' hahaha. She would laugh so hard everytime i called her that, too. She and her husband would invite me to dinner , and would offer to do my laundry. Basically she was like my 2nd mom. When i moved out of their place and moved into my new place, i made sure to invite them to my house blessing. I still visit them from time to time. One thing i loved about my "Zhongguo Mama" is because she is humble, motherly, and genuinely cared for me. It made my first year living in the 'states bearable. Because i was quite homesick in the first year.
