These years, the topic of "escaping" has been very popular. Many people are obsessed, thinking that as long as they break through the Great Firewall physically, they can immediately change their fate. To be blunt:
If you can't even understand the basic rules of survival in your own country, why do you think moving to an unfamiliar country like the US, with a different language, culture, and more intense competition, will make you a "superior person"?
1. Ability is hard currency; environment is just an amplifier
You find delivering food tiring in your own country, working in a factory hard, and dealing with relationships annoying. But abroad, these fundamental logic issues not only won't disappear—they will be amplified because you lack legal status, social security, and legal knowledge. In your own country, even if you're doing poorly, at least the low cost of living cushions you; abroad, the brutality of the bottom-tier competition may be far beyond your imagination.
2. The "American Dream" through a filter vs. the reality of "homelessness"
Many ordinary people see the good mountains, waters, and welfare abroad, but those are prepared for the middle class and above with tax records. For newcomers with nothing, what awaits isn't a villa and steak, but endless dishes to wash, unsafe neighborhoods, and bills that can bankrupt you if you get sick.
3. Face reality: over a hundred million in assets talks about configuration; below that talks about survival
The same point: if you have over a hundred million in assets, what you need is freedom and security, so going abroad makes sense. But for ordinary people, domestic security, infrastructure, and convenience are actually the biggest safety net.
Don't overthink the trivial. The strong can carve out a path anywhere; the weak, when they move, are just changing places to be the chives. Living well in the present is better than anything else.
