i live off campus with a chinese family who have got green card.
although i can know many chinese, but most of them are selfish , snobbish and "jinjin1 ji jiao3" . i hope i had never know these kind people who are total like people in novel.
so 21cn don't be too sad. my situation is far worse than you.
sometimes i would rather be hungry during a day than go understairs to cook a dish for myself because i wouldn't like to see my landlord.
there are different situation in different place. In chinese town, they all look down on F2. I can understand why you are so gloomy.
