China actually has a viable space program, so being an astronaut actually seems attainable. And do teachers in China actually make a fair living wage?
For teachers, I guess they're the biggest figure for students as they grow up. Confucian culture emphasizes enormous respect, and tbf, conformity to teachers.
I grew up wanting to be a YouTuber, and now work as a professor somewhere in East Asia with deep Confucian influence. The teacher-student dynamics here is truly shit.
Some children geniuenly respect landlords more than teachers because it's in line with teachings of "the modern philosopher Andrew Tate."
