Too bad I don't have Chinese software that I can write Chinese here.
I'm so happy and proud to see that there are so many people here sharing the same view. Money is not the most important thing as we really realized. Life is really about having a peaceful mind and being able to enjoy the clouds, the sky and the birds that are flying in the sky.
I really hope one day I can meet with you guys up there.
Hi Beijing Girl,
You are 29 and have several years working experience, but you still do not know what life is. What have you learnt from the past 29 years ? Shame on you !!!
Money and material are a very tiny portion in a life. You must cool down and use your brain to think, and to explore. When you become matured, you will be able to determine what you should be looking for and how you should be living.
For now, please forget your past life in Beijing, forget how 'good' it was. This is a very good starting point.
I suggest you to read all these replies, especially #13. I hope that you will learn something for life.
By the way, I don't think that you had a good life in Beijing. Tell you what, I had a BSc degree from Western and worked in China for $HK70k per month for a Hong Kong company for several years. I gave it up and came to Toronto for a much lower salary (30% of previous). Do you know why ?
A voyageur.
If you want to have the same feelings you had in Beijing, I believe that going back to China is your right choice.
If you want to stay here, I strongly recommend that you accept the job. By doing the job you can not only earn money to improve your living standard, but also have a good chance to understand Canada. Whether you should have the job is your own decision not anyone else.
Everything has two sides which you have to balance against your particular situation.
Here are some more comments:
If you and your husband love each other, please treasure the feelings. Love is the best thing in the would. But if you are only afraid of what other people said, it seams that you are not mature yet.
You may compare the buildings between China and Canada outside. But how about inside?
Compared with cities in China, Toronto is more like a countryside. This is true. That is the living style for people with cars.
About the feelings you had in China and the feelings you now have in Canada, I fully understand it. But I do not want to make any comment here and now.
Wish you well.

送你,看你的帖子,一种感觉:“白发宫女泪茫茫,细说前朝旧事“
Pray for Serenity
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change.
The courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time;
accepting hardship as a pathway to peace;
taking, as Jesus did.
This sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it;
trusting that you will make all things right
if I surrender to your will;
so that I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with You forever in the next.
Amen
"To be, or not to be" ,这是一个难题。
留下与回去完全看个人的感觉,不要听别人的议论,那只能做参考。要听从内心的指引,跟着心的方向走。
如果你觉得在国内工作压力大,想换个环境,那就准备好一块儿换一个头脑,换一种思维。抛弃过去的生活,重新做人。
如果你想找回国内那种优越感,那还是赶紧回去,呆在这里会越来越痛苦。要知道许多人出国就是踏上了一条不归路,时间越长就越不可能回去了。
当然最重要是要与先生商量好,既要爱护他也不要难为自己。(这又是个难题)
