Being poor is not our fault

Posted by Yuka as Hot Cities

There was one day i followed our presend friend to attend one of his friends’ birthday party,whoes family is really enjoying a rather higher level life.It’s acceptable and reasonable that as a respected presend of this local college,surrended by rich friends,(maybe i am just a exception of this case)and i have been used to it,following him to explore the inner features or lifestyles about “royal groups” .As a foreigner student,being introduced to his friends,and also somehow the way which can help me adjust to the new invironment,is not bad or easily proved to be usefull for my futher study of this nation.In fact i am not belonging to the supper class in my own place,even i could only say my parents are farmers,who i bear not to require so much financia support,i even have to struggle hard to survive myself.i also have been used to this ambassy situation and learning how to improve it by my meagre force,or even just forming such kind concept that i should take the responsibility to change the condition of being hand to mouth state since i was young.But i can claim firmly that my parents never try to instill any kinds of ideals like we are poor,we are lower class,we should feel shame …..even just attempted to.That’s my pround.

I would rather regarded it as a gathering of supper class then simple birthday party.Most members who attended it coming from various careers,decent dressed with gorgious cars parking beside the beach.Yeach,it’s given in the big house or viet,it’s better called like that,which is just beyond the sea.The first sight u maight easily connect it as a 5-star hotel.It’s so comfortable being touched by the cool breeze blowing from the sea,with fresh smell,tythmic sound from unknown areas,and your mind would be wondering in dreamy world.It’s so great,i had to admit.Then every process went on as well as they wished,peaceful soomthly.Usually people in this country like singing,dancing ,all kinds of activities as long as they can make it at that occation as entertaiments to cheer up each other.Actually,that’s how the ordinary people make their life colourfull,even in others’eyes is creazy meaningless shouting and contribution to the noise.It’s nothing to blame.Frankly speaking,i am always being disturbed following with strong headach,especially when i desperately wnat to have a good rest,so annoied.Sometimes my foreigner friend cann’t help complaining about it with enraged but helpless attitude.What i often tell him is that’s the very kind of way they express the inner emotions.It’s all known that almost all students here are from so called normal families,but more than a quarter even don’t have enough to make their stomaches stop murmuring.I dare not to touch their daily life ,just in case i will notice more curel realities my heart cann’t bear.Being ignorant is my way of escaping suffering and feeling guilty for being so different to helplessness.I am also poor,just lucky enough to be here in good hands,under the caring of our friends,maintaining a much better life then in my own place.So i cann’t find an excuse so decent that qualified to blame them for the way how they appreciarte God,appreciate life,even they are really poor materially.

At the first few weeks i was here,i was frequently being asked if i come from a rich family,since i am always neatly dressed,behaving in good manners ,and what is most important of all is that i already have a brand new laptop,which i brought just by the contribution of my own efforts.Yes,my conditon is another case as we are from different contries.So when we refer to poor,it’s not judged as the same stardards,but poor can be found every corner of the world.Being poor is not our fault.And during the party,it came again.The one very who asked me directly is a half chinese,old but still in good physical condition.He gave me a short introduction to himself that made sure i would like to have a simple chat because his parents are chinese which usually could get some common emotions.He is a bussinessman running a selling company.”What is ur family’s bussiness?”i was so shocked,since i hadn’t show any sign who i am .”They are farmers,tradional ones,even don’t know how to make a deal”"Haha,u must be kidding me”i kept silent.”Ok,young lady,if u have interest,maybe i can help u or we can cooperate!”,his attitude was clear showing that he couldn’t believe what i said.I cannot think of how did our conversation was overed.It’s not a pleasant one.
