It is one month since I have come to America, I am exciting
many Chinese live in the St. Louis than I expected. As we know, with the accelerating pace of
modern life, more and more Chinese move to U.S rather than stay in China
throughout their lives. However, reasons are perhaps different.
Firstly, there is no doubt that moving to America means
more opportunities. For instance, compared with China, we are more likely to
get a well paid job in big city, an advanced education in famous university, a
well developed health care system and a
high-quality medical facilities in hospital. These institutions can ensure our
basic desires: property and safety.
Then, some others get higher pursuit: freedom and
justice. In fact, China is still a developing country. The economy is growing
fast meanwhile so does the wealth gap, this main social problem and contradiction
leads more people do not trust political party want to change themselves lives so that they try
to move to a fresh environment. It is another point why Chinese people choose
America firstly.
In conclusion, whatever we want, we both go after
our American dreams. As for me, besides study in Webster University, expanding horizon, enlarging social
circle, leaning American culture and enriching
my life, both are significant reasons why I go to America.
You can see distribution of Chinese-Americans illustrated in the images above. What do you think about it?
There are lots of reasons why people come to U.S.
ReplyDeleteWe studied about it. I also found that asian people are in this University. They have their own reason to be here.
I could see both pictures.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I heard, SanFrancisco is the most place where they live.
Your post made me start to think about the "wealth gap" here in America too. Last year this time was the beginning of the "Occupy" movement in America. Many advocated that the "wealth gap" between the 99% and the 1% was shocking. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Occupy_movement#United_States
