2 years ago, I went back China for 2 weeks. I stayed at my parent's apartment, which was occupied by my aunt (she told my parent her neighbour cursed her so she moved in my parent's apartment and used it for free until today. At the same time, she rented her apartment out).
Only 20 minutes after arriving my parent's apartment, I made a phone call to a friend, who I haven't met for 8 years. I invited her for a dinner. Then my aunt told my cousin (my cousin let me know) 'She thought she go abroad so she could show off... She forgot who she was...'
I was so upset, I thought I had right to invited a friend for dinner.
During my time in my hometown, my aunt mentioned several time that her daughter, my cousin wanted a set of binoculars, I didn't understood what her meaning at the beginning, my friends told me that she wanted me to buy it. But I already bought camera for her daughter.
The last but not the lease, my mom had a little pot, she cut the handle and put food in it for me. I asked her to give me a bowl, she laughed at me until she sat on the ground, she asked me what's I'm using, I told her it was a pot... then she told me, 'YOUR MOM's bowls were all broken (my mom said she broke them), only one left and I'm using it...'. She kept on laughing at me until her daughter told her, 'Ma, don't laugh again-- you'll break your belly...'
After 3 years, I still remember her face and her laugh. I have no idea how to survive in a circumstance like this in China.

I have been living in USA and Canada for 20 years. I am not a 海归. I am a businessman and I need to fly back and forward to China from North America every year, and I have the same experiences and feelings. But I think that those are very interesting experiences for my life and I love it!
