My older brother was gonna be a “little emperor” but then my mom gave birth to me in violation of the One Child Policy… so now we have a beef… kinda feels like those Chinese TV Dramas about Emperors and their sons fighting to become the heir…
My mom constantly tell about some cousin that made millions on a business trip abroad and be like: “why aren’t you like them”
Criticism against the system is dismissed, any issues you face is a character flaw, depression doesn’t exist, “just be better”
Like I doubt my parents care about ethics… hypothetically I could be in the mafia and make billions selling illegal drugs and she’d be “proud” as long as I don’t get caught. Or some extremely corrupt politician.
The takeaway I got from my parents is that: “Money = Good”
