American Dreams in China

I had told S about the Chinese movie 'American Dreams in China' when we first met again.

Wang Yang, being the only guy of the trio of friends that has dated a Western girl, was giving a class on Western culture / thoughts /perspectives.

House-visiting:  The Chinese says, 'Welcome! Please come in!' The American does not tell his friend 'Welcome!' Americans are not so polite. He'll say it in a more straightforward manner - 'Come on in!' - And you just walk in.

Relationships: You've been going out with a girl for four years. One day she comes to you and tells you,
I'm returning to America!' What should you say?
(Students responded with, 'Why? Don't you love me anymore?')

Don't say anything, just turn and leave. Otherwise, she would treat you like how she treats her baggage.

On the 2nd last night before we parted, she told me that Wang Yang was pretty much spot on.
And that was all that I needed to turn and leave.
