My parents were both educator, my first husband was an arranged marriage than ended in divorce because I would not give away our daughter and try for a male child.
My husband now is an American.
Again, it is very nice to know more about you and I know I can talk for all of Rogue-Nation3 when I say, We Are Very Happy You Found A Home Here.
Did a second post for oversight. This is very interesting, I already thought something into that direction. I would be a liar if I said I had a lot of contact with the Chinese culture but my uncle was sometimes in China and always brought some memories with him and sometimes huge firework that would be hung from a tree and began to spin after igniting. Or the eggs. :D
I am not educated enough about Chinese culture, but I know about the one child rule and can only try grasping what that meant for you, personally. My uncle also had guests over from China for a few days and served pizza one time but forgot that he was told before many Chinese won't eat cheese. IDK exactly why to be honest. So basically he was trying to save face and put scrambled egg on the pizza to at least make it look what he showed them before. And each year for two years in a row they wanted to eat that pizza and he always had to put scrambled egg instead of cheese on top to not admit he almost served cheese to them. But they knew and told him like in the third year that they now know he does a special pizza for them because they went to an Italian restaurant themselves.
I never believed that none of the Chinese visitors got it that it's egg and not cheese. I thought they were just polite but could not say anything because of some cultural respect or similar.
