    Both my parents are from China and immigrated to an Anglo country. One came from a family who had a successful business in the village they lived in and they owned a single large courtyard property. The other came from a poor family where most people were selling miscellaneous goods on the streets from a cart

    The former's family got all their capital and property confiscated by the Party, and all fled to the UK where nearly all of them worked low wage jobs at restaurants or factories

    The latter's family all stayed behind except for my parent, and now they own a successful local real estate company and live in a city with standards of living far, far above the country I'm from in almost every aspect. That parent who moved mostly worked low wage factory jobs

    Really makes you think (I'm high)
