Chapter 149: Educational Issues

Seeing that the Chinese medicine market here is completely unmanaged, and the situation is chaotic, it seems that Catherine's tonic medicine is not available, and the prescription drugs in the United States cannot be obtained without the signature of a doctor.

In fact, Zhang Cheng also knows that traditional Chinese medicine completely depends on the self-discipline of merchants, and when traditional Chinese medicine is brilliant, whoever makes and sells counterfeit drugs will not be spared by the trade association - most of the traditional Chinese medicine is sold by catty, and it is actually quite profitable.

Fortunately, the problem is still the tonic medicine, before leaving, Zhang Cheng smelled the smell of the pharmacy, and there is no problem with the general medicinal materials here. If there is a problem with the commonly used Chinese medicine, Zhang Cheng has the mind to dismantle this store - although the medicine is wrong, Zhang Cheng also understands that sheep placenta paste and horse skin gum cannot be eaten, and may even have a certain tonic effect, that is, it must not be as good as deer placenta paste and donkey skin gum, otherwise the ancestors would not have changed the materials long ago.

Pulling the disappointed Catherine out of the pharmacy, the two of them walked around San Francisco's Chinatown, and it was good to come and see how they came.

The overall impression of Chinatown here is that there is less land and more people, so the land utilization rate is particularly high - the houses on the street are very high, and they all hang different signs for business. It is said that white people did not allow Chinese Americans to expand Chinatown — even after the San Francisco earthquake, and over time the population grew like this.

In the history of California, the white people here have always wanted to invite a group of the most honest taxpayers out of the city, and they don't know which brain is pumping.

Passing by an intersection, dozens of ethnic Chinese were handing out leaflets, and Zhang Cheng also took one. The middle-aged man who distributed the leaflets said to Zhang Cheng: "Vote for the Republican Party." ”

Is this an early start to the presidential election? Or is California going to change governors? As a populous state with 10 percent of the population of the United States, California is fiercely contested by both Democrats and Republicans in every election.

However, after Zhang Cheng looked at the flyer in his hand, he realized that this was not the case. It turns out that the Democrats in California don't know how to pump their brains again, of course, it may also be in order to curry favor with the majority of whites in California, and make a proposal to reduce the admission rate of Chinese American students in California's public universities.

It turns out that this Chinese American makes up less than 10 percent of the population in California, and Asian Americans make up only 11 percent of the population in California. However, Chinese American students are very competitive, and the proportion of Chinese American college students in California's public universities, including international students, is 36 percent, and instead of using this to motivate black and white students, the California Democrats have put the cart before the horse, trying to suppress the proportion of Chinese college students from the percentage of college admissions -- they want to adjust the admission rate of Chinese American students to 12 percent through legislative means. That's a third of what it is now.

In other words, American universities are good for independent admissions. This kind of intervention is not only racist, but it is simply bastard.

The Chinese usually don't care much about politics, and the 2 million Chinese Americans in California have just over 500,000 votes, and the turnout is less than one-third. And vote for the Republicans to disgust the Democrats who put forward this proposal.

But such bastards' proposals have been put forward – no wonder some people say that American candidates with a conscience should not curry favor with voters, but should tell Americans what the problem is. It seems that politicians with a conscience are really rare.

The problem with the current society in the United States is that it is too extreme to consume in advance. Whether it's a government or an individual. In the event of an economic malaise, the president will call on the people to spend more to stimulate the economy – and as a result, the American nation and its citizens are indebted.

Debts are subject to interest, and if they don't pay it back, the bank will collect the house and the car - this kind of thing is very expensive when you buy it, but you don't have much money when you pay off the debt.

As for the U.S. government's fiscal deficit – the solution is very simple. Reform in accordance with the military expenditures of China and Russia, cut off 90 percent of the current military expenditures, and the finances will become green in a few years, and the finances of the Clinton era will not be green if there were no wars for a few years.

For the average American, if you are born and find yourself not lying on your back in the pocket, it's best to work diligently and plan for the long term — the ratio of savings to investments.

However, judging from the popularity of lottery sales in the United States, Americans still expect to get rich overnight rather than start from scratch.

Looking at the reason why Chinese families have such a high proportion of college students, it is because Chinese Americans treat their children's learning as the first priority in the family, and the second priority is for their children to get married and have children.

Often, the first generation of Chinese immigrants to the United States live at the bottom of the social ladder and work hard, and when the second generation of education comes up, they often improve their lives quickly after joining the workforce - because Chinese Americans are very realistic, and if you ask ten Chinese American students in the United States, eight out of ten will tell you that after graduation, they will go to become doctors (especially dentists), lawyers, and accountants.

The difference may be different from the values. When American children grow up, they will buy or rent a house after getting married, and the family will be single, while the Chinese family is a whole - parents regard their children's upbringing, education, and marriage as their responsibilities, and children will support their parents as obligations when they grow up.

Generally speaking, Chinese children do not leave their parents when they grow up and get married—parents with more children tend to live in the homes of the best of their children or the most beloved children. Children who do not live with their parents have to send money to their parents every year after they have a job, and the money is not much until the death of their parents - this is the traditional Chinese filial piety, and it is accused of being unfilial piety in China and even in the Chinese circle.

If you look at what parents in the black ghetto often do, they take government food rolls to exchange for drugs, and only give their children porridge, which is typical of one day a day. In such an environment, you can expect your child to grow up to be promising, and perhaps becoming a local drug lord is already the greatest success.

Black people often say that Chinese people discriminate against black people the most, but if black people can do something that does not discriminate against people, they will not let Chinese discriminate - what black uncles are best at is to make a big woman's belly run away, and they don't want to bear the responsibility or anything, what they want is the happiness in front of them.

This is not only the case for black Americans, but also for black people all over the world - often after paying salaries, they don't see anyone anymore, and they come back to work when the money is spent. If you go to the ghetto of the United States, you may be robbed and killed, but if you don't bring a few dozen dollars to defend yourself, you will not be able to get a green ticket if you encounter robbers.

Haiti, the island country of Haiti, where a few years ago was earthquaked, is also a country where blacks are the majority, where the whole family celebrates when a boy joins the triad or a girl becomes a prostitute, and can also stand tall in front of the neighbors.

If you encounter a child from a traditional Chinese family who knows how to do this kind of thing, it will be light to be beaten half to death.

But in a white family, they may not like the choice of children, but they will say, "It is the freedom of children to join the underworld, and it is the freedom of children to become prostitutes." "Anyway, after the age of eighteen, parents can't legally control their children. It is his business that the child will die. (To be continued......)
