Jiang Guobing, a former associate professor at Tsinghua University, immigrated to Canada with his family, and once said, "The moon in a foreign country is rounder than in China, and I won't go back if I die!" "However, life in a foreign country is not as good as it seems.
After a period of adaptation and reflection, he gradually realized that his hometown was where he really belonged. In the end, Jiang Guobing chose to return to China and return to his cultural roots and life circle.
His experience teaches us not to give up our cultural identity and life experiences easily, as these are important elements that make up our unique personality and values.
No matter where we are, we should cherish our culture and life, because it is the value and meaning of our existence.
Jiang Guobing was once an academic leader, and his talent was fully recognized in the field of reading. However, he eventually decided to take the international stage and immigrate to Canada with his family.
Jiang Guobing was supposed to live a good life in China, but why did he choose to commit suicide by jumping off a bridge when he was in the prime of life? He struggled in Canada for five years, how was his life?
Did he really fulfill his dream of living in Canada? Jiang Guobing was born into a poor family, and his parents did not have a higher education, so he suffered a lot of hardships in life.
He spent five years in Canada in pursuit of a better life and future. However, why did he commit suicide in the prime of life? What exactly did he experience in Canada?
We deeply regret his death, but at the same time are full of curiosity and questions about his life. What exactly did he experience in five years of life in Canada?
Is he really living the life he wants? His death gave us a deeper understanding of the meaning and value of life.
Jiang Guobing has shown excellent learning ability since he was a child, and when he graduated from high school, he was admitted to Tsinghua University with the top score in science in the province. He was well aware of his origins and past experiences, so he remained diligent and hardworking throughout his college years, excelling in every class.
His success is not only a personal achievement, but also a counterattack and rebellion against poverty.
At that time, the minimum academic requirement to teach at Tsinghua University was a graduate student, but the number of graduate students was extremely rare. Fortunately, Jiang Guobing not only got a stable position as a teacher, but also had the opportunity to continue his education, which was really a perfect opportunity.
Jiang Guobing became an associate professor at Tsinghua University at the age of 31, and his success was backed by years of hard work and sweat. At that time, such an achievement could be called a genius in the field of education.
For Jiang Guobing, Tsinghua University not only provides him with a platform for learning, but also a place of rebirth.
A person who is stuck in the mud is like a frog at the bottom of a well, and when he sees the vast sky, he will rush out desperately and even lose his mind. In Jiang Guobing's third year as an associate professor, Tsinghua University gave him an opportunity to go to the United States for exchange and study, which was a rare opportunity at that time, so Jiang Guobing accepted it without hesitation.
After Jiang Guobing studied in a university in the United States, he profoundly realized that "there are people outside the world, and there is heaven outside the sky", and the economic development abroad shocked him even more. In a chance encounter, he met an alumnus of Tsinghua University, who told him that with Jiang Guobing's education and level, he could work as a teacher in an American university, earn millions a month, and drive a luxury car, and the school would even arrange a luxury villa for him, which was far superior to that in China.
Jiang Guobing fell into deep thought when faced with the persuasion of alumni. His family is back home, which makes him have to choose between money and family. The alumnus described a life of economic freedom that made him yearn for it, and even the idea of immigration, but would he really fly to the United States desperately for money?
This is still an unknown.
Tsinghua's grace cannot be forgotten, but the meager monthly salary makes people feel worried. If you want to achieve economic freedom, buy a luxury villa, and save enough for a million, it seems out of reach.
However, the experience of alumni tells us that if you can become a university teacher abroad, the treatment will be very different and eye-catching.
Jiang Guobing had expected his wife, Lu Cairong, to oppose his decision to go to the United States, after all, they had lived on this land for decades. However, he underestimated Lu Cairong's vision.
Lu Cairong listened to Jiang Guobing's description of life in the United States, coupled with the depiction of the United States "everywhere" in some of the books she read, and she also believed how free and happy it would be to live in the United States.
In order to realize the dream of the whole family, Jiang Guobing received the full support of his wife and began to prepare all the documents for the Canadian immigration application. However, the asset review stage made it extremely difficult for him because his financial situation did not meet the requirements of the Canadian immigration authorities.
Despite this, Jiang Guobing did not give up, he decided to give it a go, give up everything in China, including hometown, work, friends, etc., and embark on a journey to Canada with his whole family.
Jiang Guobing heard similar words many times during his job search in Canada, and these words made him realize that, unlike in China, a degree from Tsinghua University alone may not make it easy for him to get a job at the company of his choice.
Despite this, Jiang Guobing did not give up his ideals. He decided that if he couldn't become a business elite, he would go to a Canadian university and become a teacher.
Jiang Guobing struggles to find a job every day, but his resume rarely receives a response, and the replies are always negative. Every night, he dragged his tired body back to the cramped rental house, feeling very regretful.
Although it's too late to regret it now, not being able to find a job means sitting on a mountain of empty food, rent, utilities and food.
Jiang Guobing has always been addicted to reading and has never completed housework independently, and his wife has also taken on most of the housework after marriage. However, when he became a cleaner, he struggled at work due to his lack of practical experience and basic housekeeping skills and was eventually fired by his boss.
So, he decided to look for a new job and became a stucco painter.
In Canada, he is over 40 years old without a local education, can he still find a job?
With his new resume, Jiang Guobing was offered a job at several large Canadian companies, and he finally chose the company with the highest salary. He hopes to change his life and stop worrying about his livelihood.
Jiang Guobing tried again and again, but he was never able to gain a foothold in the workplace, and he couldn't stay for a long time no matter which company he was in.
Some people may wonder why he did not choose to return to his home country. At that time, Jiang Guobing's friends, even those whose professional skills were slightly inferior to his, had already become leaders in the industry after several years of struggle, living a life of luxury residences and luxury cars.
However, he is still working hard in Canada, he is not without homesickness, but he does not want to return to his home country as a loser, and his dignity trumps everything.
His dignity was trampled under his feet by reality, and he chose to end his life. After Jiang Guobing's death, it was his wife and children who felt sorry.
Although Chiang's past choices led to a change in his fortunes, he still had many opportunities to change all of that. While returning home may be a bit humiliating, it can bring him back to his peaceful life.
What happened to Jiang Guobing makes us understand that the moon in a foreign land cannot prevail against our own, and the motherland is our eternal dependence. I am fortunate to be a son and daughter of China in this life, and I am willing to continue to be a Chinese in the next life!
