I’ve come across this afternoon a news video on CNN. Its title is Western Influence on China but in fact it only deals with the new Chinese generations’ nontraditional attitudes towards work and life. It is reported that only 2% say they will work hard to get rich, and that 68% say they have no passion for the their job.

Well, that may be true for most youngsters in China, but as for me, things are somewhat different. I won’t be enthusiastic about making big sums of money, as long as I can lead a respectable life. However, I really can’t imagine that I was performing any work for which I had no passion, because that would make my life meaningless. So what is my ideal career that best suits me? For now, I wish to be a linguist or a social activist who fights for minor languages (especially my mother tongue, Foochowese).

Unfortunately, few people can understand me…
