Who the F cares what the Chinese says? It's a fucking meme. It needs a good caption and it'll go viral.
it's only a meme if it comes from Meme, Ohio and is captioned in the American language. Everything else is weird foreign shit that no one cares about
For the convenience of Western devils who experience explosive diarrhea upon interacting with the Chinese language in any fashion, I have translated the meme into the universally recognized lingua franca of the West.
anglo solipsism
That's just racist
Chinese is a nationality and a culture, not a race. The race you are thinking of is Han. They are one of the many (officially recognized) races in the People's Republic of China. Read The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck. Wang Lung is a good man and he treats his wife and sons without any thought to what they might want. He's not selfish or evil, the thought simply never occurs to him. That's solipsism, the belief you are the only being in the universe. The author was criticized in her lifetime for being more Chinese than the Chinese and writing a book they should have written. She was a missionary kid, a forgotten concept. Born and raised in China to white missionaries and was a native speaker and writer of Chinese. She grew up in the village she wrote about. It's a fantastic book even if you aren't in to China but if you are, there is no better place to start. I learned so much
is this sarcastic? the best place to start "getting into" china is getting into china. talk to one chinese person.
The Good Earth is widely considered one of the best novels abut China ever written in English. There are several sequels but they are not nearly as good. Chinese people don't know much about China. Once you start speaking the language you start finding out all their dirty little secrets.
Lots of Chinese people don't speak Chinese very well. Many times I know their culture better than they do. Ask people the story of Qixi and they only have a vague surface level understanding. What were Jiang Zemin's main accomplishments? Just read the dang book, it's a fast read and it won awards all over the place. It's out of copyright so you can find it on all the usual ebook sites like archive.org and such.
ok, good bit, bye
When you put it that you make it sound like it's false.
Shut up nerd
