practice using the past tense

I am from Taiwan and I have study live and work for almost 19 years.
I came to Shanghai when I was very young like in senior high school. I probably spent half of my life in Shanghai now.
If you ask me 20 years if I will be here in SH, I will definitely say no.
At first my father came to Shanghai to start his new career and after his business is stable he starts to ask us to come and he also finds us the school here.
I think I like both places with different things.
you can easily order almost everything online but in the meantime I really miss Taiwan most is the people there because they are always kind to each other and not in the rush like Shanghai people and they always very polite to each other.

and also because of the the trading war because china and US; Because US kind of force the factories to move from China.
Before for people to invest the factory there are not from other countries, most of them are foreigner. Like Korean people, Japanese or from US but now more and more Chinese business man they intentionally to move them to open another factory in another country so definitely will affect but I think it still take a while. It will still need some time for India to grow. we have discussed this before. Their people doesn’t like Chinese people like to earn money They don’t like to work overtime to get the overtime salary.

But Chinese people they like saving and money.
I say for the factory workers.

I feel it is very stupid to bring it up because it already happens in the real wife, not somebody create this kind of working pattern,
Of course it needs to be better but it difficult to do that especially we all have WeChat and apps. The boss can easily send you messages.
SO it is very hard to say I just get off the work at 6.
It is not very realistic.
I love the working for Europe as well but I just don’t know why they can work less and less and earn more and more.

if you get promoted to very high level you don’t have to work too much because you just make decisions so I think if you work in china you have to achieve that kind of level.

They do not like to earn money/ they do not care about money that much. They don’t like to work overtime to get overtime pay/extra pay. / They would rather be home than work additional hours at the office.
