re: #413 Decatur Deb

Millions of Chinese starved to death or were slaughtered by the Japanese in my lifetime. The older generation reminds their kids that there are worse things than working yourself to death making Harbor Freight flashlights.

Yeah. In my experience, Chinese people have a very pragmatic attitude towards life. They view American attitudes about achieving happiness though the ability to change jobs and do what you want to do as highly self-indulgent. If you can obtain reasonable economic and job security, you should work hard and not expect much more.
