Migratory Chinese

You cannot keep the Chinese; not even their own land can keep them. By nature, Chinese people are among the most migratory races.

Born with an entrepreneurial spirit in their DNA and driven by a desire for a better lifestyle, many Chinese are motivated to relocate around the world in search of a more suitable place to settle.

There's a saying that wherever there is good 'Sun & Soil,' you will find Chinese people.

If the 'Peking Man' did it before, so will modern Chinese. The new migration patterns of Chinese people are mainly driven by their survival instincts, or perhaps, more humorously, by their reincarnation from countless lives of ancient Chinese warfare. One wonders what benefits the ancient kings brought to their people in return. (Thanks to the Qing dynasty, whether selfish or not, at least it brought an end to the endless wars.)

Regardless, there is a place for everyone in this world. Philosophically speaking, the world should not have borders or citizenship. Modern people should look at the bigger picture rather than confining themselves to the stereotypical viewpoints of fabricated 'keyholes' from others.

My skin may be yellow, but my blood is red, just like yours, no matter what color your skin is. So, let's be open and embrace the practice of loving kindness, my friends.
