Learn Chinese with ChineseClass101.com. In our Advanced Audio Blog for today, our Chinese hostess looks at another part of growing up in China: living up to parental expectations to get a good job and make a lot of money. Why is there such an emphasis on getting a good job but almost no emphasis on living a good life? As she looks at her own life and those of her friends, our hostess asks why Chinese people are so prone to seeing life as a trade-off between success in love and success in business. Is this a specifically Chinese viewpoint, or is it something more general? If you ever suffered through unrelenting admonitions to get a well-paying job and then…then…what? Then this lesson is for you.
Learning Chinese with ChineseClass101.com is the most fun and effective way to learn Chinese.
