VIP Class Notes (Tibo) [S]

I arrived in CD 2 days earlier

but my parents cannot eat too spicy we only try one hotpot then they choose JP food.

some of my friends got married before 30 and got a baby at 31 but so far they tell me if you can choose don’t get married.
The divorce rate in SH is almost 70%.
Some of my friends they don’t want a baby they just want a stable relationship.
you have to stay with your child to finish his HW together.
at the beginning my parents couldn’t accept I didn’t get married but so far they think if I am happy it is ok and they are happy.

If you are young you can have a lot of choices and if you get older you have less value.
especially in today’s society it is unfair to women because there is a rule you have to have a job, have money and balance your family and take care of your baby and husband and parents. If you cannot balance these you are not a good mother.

They require women to look good and earn more money but to men there is no rules and standards.
Most of them don’t have some responsibilities.
The men today they don’t get ready to take some responsibilities to have a family maybe just their parents push them.

I arrived in CD 2 days earlier than the holiday / 2 days before the beginning of the holiday

but my parents cannot eat too spicy we only tried/had one hotpot then they chose JP food.

some of my friends got married before 30 and got a baby at 31 but so far they tell me if you can choose don’t get married.
The divorce rate in SH is almost 70%.
Some of my friends they don’t want a baby they just want a stable relationship.
you have to stay with your child to finish his HW together. / you have to help your kid with the HW.
at the beginning my parents couldn’t accept I didn’t get married/ my decision not to get married but so far they think if I am happy it is ok and they are happy.  / but now they are fine with it.
If you are young you can have a lot of choices and if you get older you have less value.

especially in today’s society it is unfair to women because there is a rule you have to have a job, have money and balance your family and take care of your baby and husband and parents. If you cannot balance these you are not a good mother. / the society expects women to balance having a job and taking care of a large family. / In China people think that women should …

They require women to look good and earn more money but to men there are no rules or standards.
Most of them don’t have some responsibilities.

So far some people still like to judge other people’s life.They are my relevants, normal friends and some strangers.
Close to my 30 years old, some people asked me why I still single and why I didn’t worry about being single. I asked them why I need to worry about it and they told me if you don’t marry before 30, there will be no one marry you anymore. Women have to marry and have to have a baby that means you are a complete woman. People judge you by a careing tone and attitude, if you say ”
It’s none of your business” will make you impolite. Except the gender, all of us have to be a person, whatever you are man or woman. You can chase your dream anytime, marriage shouldn’t be a MUST before 30 or in your life. I hope everyone can focus on their own life and don’t lecture or judge others. Work hard and make youself become stronger which can make the people shut up.

So far some people still like to judge other people’s life. They are my relatives, normal friends and some strangers.
Close to my 30s / when I was reaching my 30 years old, some people asked me why I was still single and why I didn’t worry about being single. I asked them why do I need to worry about it and they told me if you don’t get married before 30, there will be no one to marry you anymore. Women have to get married and have to have a baby that means you are a complete woman. People judge you with a fake caring tone and attitude  / people pretend to care

if you say “It’s none of your business” it will make you impolite.

I disagree, no matter your gender life isn’t different if you are a man or a woman and we all have to be good people.

You can chase your dreams anytime, marriage shouldn’t be a MUST before 30 or in your life. I hope everyone can focus on their own life and not lecture or judge others. Work hard and make youself become stronger/ work hard and become strong enough to make them shut up / become strong enough so that they can’t criticize you anymore.
