“Tough? We’re all people who have experienced bitterness,” says Song. “This house is much better than the village house (I was renting before). I was afraid the village house was on the verge of collapse.”
Dispite our joking around here you have to remember that currently China is a capitalist country at the end of the day. They do capitalism better then the west, but they still have problems.
