I have to say that Chinese women look better in Qipao than foreign women!

 Cheongsam, as a traditional Chinese dress, is a special dress designed for Chinese women, which can best reflect the charm and body beauty of Chinese women.

I don't know if you have found that nowadays more and more foreigners like to wear cheongsam, and they have a totally different taste from Chinese women. They have their own customs. I believe this is also an identification of Chinese culture. But do you think Chinese women or foreign women look better in cheongsam?

It has to be admitted that many foreign beauties really look good in cheongsam, especially most of their natural beauty with long legs. After wearing cheongsam, their graceful posture and white legs undoubtedly add a lot of sexy and glamour to cheongsam.

Chinese actress Gong Li once competed with foreign beauties in a cheongsam on the red carpet of the film festival. The picture was so beautiful.

But looking at it, Chinese women look better in cheongsam, showing the ancient style of cheongsam flawless, and foreign women look more sexy. After all, cheongsam is tailor-made for Chinese women!

Speaking of which, is there a question in everyone's mind, that is, why most Chinese women. Will it look better than foreign women in Qipao? Xiao Bian summed up the following three reasons, I wonder if you agree.

1. Character

Compared with foreign women, Chinese women are more reserved and introverted. Generally speaking, foreign women are more outgoing and unrestrained. Qipao gives people more dignified and elegant charm, which is more like the temperament of the courtyard boudoir in ancient times. This is exactly the perfect integration with the characteristics of Chinese women. Chinese women wear the classic and soft Qipao Beautiful temperament!

Chinese women are reserved and reserved when they are just born. We are used to smiling without showing our teeth, to whispering, to taking subtle steps when walking, and to being a delicate cheongsam woman.

"The two curved eyebrows are not like frowning, and the other one is like loving eyes. State of two dimples of worry, Jiao attack a disease. Little tears, tiny gasps.

When it is quiet, it looks like a beautiful flower shining on the water. When it is moving, it looks like a weak willow supporting the wind. The heart is more than the stem, and the disease is like Xizi This is one of the accurate descriptions of Chinese women.

Foreign women, however, are quite different. They are used to laughing and think that it's true to show a big white tooth when laughing. They are also used to taking long strides.

Therefore, when they wear Qipao, they can't walk out of the charm of Chinese women's swaying flowers. It may be a bit old-fashioned and tough.

2. Figure

The figure of Chinese women is smaller than that of foreign women, so the cheongsam will be more elegant and feminine. But foreign women wear Qipao with broad shoulders and broad back, which makes people feel very majestic, lacking the soft and beautiful feeling of Qipao.

Most foreign women are plump. Although women with breasts look more beautiful and feminine in cheongsam, women with too plump breasts lose the elegant charm of cheongsam and may be a little deliberately frivolous. And most Chinese women's chest size is still relatively moderate, so wearing Qipao is still very fit!

Han Xue, a Chinese actress from Suzhou, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, is very suitable for wearing cheongsam, which perfectly shows the beauty of cheongsam's temperament, and the cheongsam also shapes her figure!

Many foreign women's buttocks are still too big, and some even wear Qipao abnormally, which seems to be out of proportion. On the contrary, they lose the original charm of Qipao.

3. Cultural background

Cheongsam itself originated from China. It was the national costume of the Republic of China and was popular in the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1920s, the popularity of Qipao began. In the 1930s, it reached its peak and soon spread from Shanghai, its birthplace, to all parts of China and even the world.

Cheongsam follows the era of the development of the Chinese nation and carries civilization. With its flowing melody, natural and unrestrained painting and strong poetic sentiment, it shows the virtuous, elegant, gentle and beautiful temperament and temperament of Chinese women. Qipao connects the past and the future, life and art, and spreads the charm of beauty all over the world.

Oil paper umbrella and incense fan are important accessories of Qipao. Wearing classical Qipao, holding incense fan in one hand and oil paper umbrella in the other hand, elegant figure and classical charm are the embodiment of oriental classical beauty. Only Chinese women can interpret the culture of Qipao perfectly.

For foreign women, the cheongsam may be a simple Chinese dress. Many of them have not even touched the cheongsam since childhood. They do not understand the cheongsam, let alone the cheongsam culture.

Unlike us, when Chinese women wear cheongsam, they will know that they are wearing the essence of Chinese culture. We will wear cheongsam to show confidence and the unique beauty of Oriental women.

So, do you think Chinese women or foreign women look better in Qipao?

Why go to America to have a baby?

 To have a U.S. nationality means to enjoy the convenience of visa free policies in 186 countries in the world. To hold a U.S. passport, you only need to be born in the United States.

Before learning about "going to the United States to have children", many people will tell me about a movie - [Beijing falls in love with Seattle]. It's true that since its release in 2013, the play has moved countless fans, but it has also revealed a social phenomenon that can't be ignored on the other side of the ocean - going to the United States to have children.

It is no novelty for Chinese to go to the United States to have children. At first, it was to avoid family planning. Many people fled to the United States to have a second child. Another group of people considered it difficult to settle down in China after their children were born because of their complex marriage relationship. But now more people go to the United States to have children in pursuit of high-quality life planning.

I want to come to America

"We want to be foreigners, we don't want to be outsiders"

"At the age of 18, as an American or a Chinese, he can choose his favorite school, career and environment to decide where to live, which is very important for his life."

One more choice is to give children a way to go in the future. It's just a way for parents to help their children improve their chances of success in life and reduce the risk of failure. In the past, we spent a lot of time on ourselves. Whether we study or work, we are trying to give ourselves the right to choose, which has consumed too much time. Now, we want our next generation not to experience this.

Going to the United States and Canada to have children is really more possible for their children's future, don't you think?

What causes the differences in the way of providing for the aged between China and the United States?

 Due to different history, culture, customs, living conditions, religions and beliefs, there are great differences between Chinese and American cultures. Such cultural differences often affect not only the lives of young people, but also the lifestyles and pursuits of the elderly. Let's look at the differences between the lives of the elderly in China and the United States.

Most Chinese elderly people live with their children. Many Chinese parents are willing to sacrifice everything for their children, so they hope that their children will be filial to themselves when they grow up. So there is such a common situation, the elderly live with the children, help their children to take care of the housework and take care of the children.

Americans, on the other hand, believe that the cultivation of children is a social responsibility, not a "self sacrifice"; children's return is not to feed their parents back, but to strive to become their own talents

Looking at the life of the elderly in Chinese cities, it must be a major feature. This also illustrates the habit of living in the collective that they have developed for decades. It seems that they will have more sense of security and self-identity if they are stuck in the pile, which is perhaps the biggest difference between them and the elderly in the United States.

Old people all over the world may have the same fear, that is loneliness. This fear of the Chinese elderly may be even greater, because most of them have not experienced job hopping in their career, and work is also the most important part of their life. Once they quit, they lose their main purpose in life.

In recent years, we began to discuss whether the elderly should go to the nursing home. The tradition of Chinese people has always been to raise children for old age, which not only refers to the material, but also refers to the spiritual. In the words of ordinary people, filial piety of children is the happiness of the elderly. In China, to send their elderly parents to a nursing home is a very bad thing for many children. Even if I have to give it away, I will struggle in my heart.

In some European and American countries, people in their 40s and 50s begin to think about going to nursing homes. For them, this is not a terrible place to go.

The United States is one of the most developed countries in the world. It entered the aging society earlier, and the pension system is mature. Americans advocate freedom and seldom rely on their children for their old age. The development of China's pension industry is not mature, and people generally have the traditional pension concept, which leads to the low quality of life of the elderly in China.

In the United States, the concept of "health management" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. From prevention, treatment to rehabilitation, there is continuous control at every stage, so that the elders can get health maintenance from nutrition, exercise, environment, psychology and other aspects. In China, the elderly do not have the habit of regular physical examination, and go to the hospital when they are sick. There is no comprehensive guidance for them for a long time, so the risk of illness is greatly increased.

In addition to the relatively sound pension and medical security system, the attitude of the United States is more positive than that of Chinese. Most industries in the United States do not set a retirement age, and a considerable number of them choose professional pension institutions, so they live a free and easy life in their later years. However, Chinese elderly people pay attention to family atmosphere, and are still busy for their families and children after retirement, and rarely live for themselves.

In recent years, with the accelerating process of China's aging society, many pension institutions began to absorb the advanced pension concept of foreign developed countries, and combined with the actual situation of our country. With the continuous maturity of Sino US joint venture pension institutions in China, the elderly in China will no longer expect the happy life of the elderly in the United States.

How many Chinese students come to the United States? The answer is more than the total number of students studying in other countries

 As a developing country with the largest population in the world and the second largest economy in the world, China's annual number of students studying abroad is naturally the first in the world. According to the website of China's Ministry of education, in 2017, the number of Chinese students studying abroad exceeded 600000 for the first time, with a total of 608400, and the growth rate was as high as 11.74%.

In contrast, the United States, as the most powerful capitalist country in the world and the number one power in the world, has many excellent educational resources in the world, which will naturally attract the majority of international students to study in the United States. According to the news released by the US embassy, in 2017, the number of Chinese students studying in the United States hit a record high, with a total of more than 350000, and the number of students studying in the United States totaled 350755.

From this, we can see that the number of Chinese students studying abroad in a year is only 608400, while the number of Chinese students studying in the United States is as high as 350800. In other words, the number of Chinese studying in the United States is nearly 50000 more than the total number of other countries in the world. What an amazing number this is. From behind this amazing number, we can also clearly understand how American universities attract Chinese students.

Although the cost for Chinese to study in the United States is very high, tuition alone costs US $40000 to US $50000 a year, not including living expenses and other expenses. However, the number of Chinese students studying in the United States is still increasing at the rate of tens of thousands every year, and is becoming younger. From this point, we can see that American higher education institutions are really attractive to Chinese students.

The difference of consumption view between Chinese and American

 Americans and Chinese belong to Europe and the United States and the East respectively. Naturally, there are great differences in various aspects. In the attitude to money is very clear. That is, Chinese people like to save money, while Americans like to consume. The latest survey shows that about half of Americans save less than 6% of their income, and less than 20% of them don't save at all.

Only a quarter of Americans save more than 10% of their income. Why don't Americans want to save?

First of all, after the founding of the people's Republic of China, the United States has always pursued the capitalist concept of life. It has never wavered, and its society has never been in turmoil, let alone local wars. In the past 200 years, there have been no major changes in the economy, social structure and political system of the United States. Americans' expectation of the future is based on the economy. As long as the economy does not cross the border, the society will be relatively stable. China's aggression and international oppression over the past hundred years have not taken a long time to change the dynasty, and we have been groping forward on the platform of learning from the past.

The second is job stability in the United States. The supply and demand of talents in the whole society has reached a relative balance, and big data can reflect the supply and demand relationship between labor and capital. In the United States, entrepreneurs can create 100 jobs. So there is no special accident, honest work will not have too much risk of losing a job (except for some high-risk industries, such as finance). Without the threat of foreign countries, American families can live and eat.

There is also an insurance system related to people's livelihood. Nearly half of Americans' income is covered by various kinds of insurance, such as cars stolen, houses collapsed in the earthquake, cancer and so on. Most of the accidents that people can encounter are covered by insurance companies, just like tying safety ropes, daring to let go, spending money on travel and so on.

What is more important is the difference of cultural traditions between the East and the West. Westerners attach importance to individuals and like to take risks, while easterners attach importance to collective ideas. Therefore, Westerners' Outlook on life is to try different possibilities and live their own values. In this way, they tend to spend most of their savings to do something they like.

It is precisely because of this environment that the US economy is developed, but the driving force to stimulate domestic demand is insufficient. Another reason for not saving money is that it's too easy to meet the needs of food and clothing. It won't easily make life difficult and even guarantee a good quality of life. Just like the American poor (mostly black) will eat McDonald's KFC, and they can eat themselves fat with little money.

The United States has always been a model of high consumption and high debt. Its current account deficit accounts for 65% of the world's total. But why is the United States always "not bad for money"?

The American way of life was once described by the American media as "as soon as the sun rises, consumers will start shopping". The main characteristics of American consumption are consumption ahead of time, loan consumption, that is, living beyond their means. The individual consumption of the United States is linked to the total output of the country. Accounting for two-thirds of GDP, Americans are used to borrowing money in a country that has long relied on the economy to boost consumption.

In fact, from the economic point of view, consumption has dual nature, it is not only an economic phenomenon, but also a cultural phenomenon. American consumption concept is mainly "life". For Americans, sufficiency is the first priority, and quality is the most important. Most Americans don't care where they buy them or what brand they make.

Americans are more "luxurious" in western society. Compared with the thrifty British and Japanese, American credit cards are often overdrawn. American college students often have to declare bankruptcy just after graduation because they borrow too much. They often borrow money to travel, have good meals and even gamble. This may be caused by the idea of "just in time", or it may be due to the consideration of "pragmatism".

This kind of consumption concept in American society comes from the tradition of American mixed people. They have not only the doctrine of extravagance but also the tradition of European economy. Although more than 200 years of rapid development has made the United States a "upstart". But this land has not cultivated Americans with the character of "upstart".

Chinese people have been afraid of poverty for a long time. Looking at history, war has been accompanied by the development of time. As a large agricultural country, the Chinese people are not ready for the short industrial revolution in ideology, and they are still living in the style of grain cultivation. There is also the progress of the industrial revolution, which has not led to the great development of related livelihood industries. The common people can't see the best embodiment of the welfare of life, aging, illness and death in themselves, and use the idea of farming to protect themselves.

With the progress of modern civilization, the Chinese dream is on the way. In the near future, with the improvement of the social system, our concept of consumption will change dramatically.

The first Impression Difference between Chinese and Americans On Bitcoins

 What I find interesting is that many people's first contact and first impression of a circle, field or concept will have a great impact on their later learning and investment.

For example, the first coin that many people bought in the circle in those years was not bitcoin, but a mainstream currency or a counterfeit currency, which would be very emotional. Even after being cut for a long time, I can't forget it.

So first impressions, or first impressions, are really important. When many people enter the circle, the people who take you into the circle and your first investment in the circle have a great impact on you. As soon as you come in, you are friends who are speculating in Shanzhai. Few of you can get out of the Shanzhai circle. As soon as you come in, you are making contracts. Basically, you are staying in the trading circle.

Of course, there's nothing bad about it. There's never a steady profit or loss in investment. There's always a profit or loss.

It's just that if the goal is to buy bitcoin instead of hoarding it, the most important thing is not to encounter other things in the process.

Because your original intention is to buy bitcoin and sell it at a higher price, then the best situation is to buy, hold and sell.

The things that attract you in the middle, the temptation of other currencies, the desire for short-term speculation, the attraction of high leverage of contracts, etc. they have no problem. But if your original intention is to buy and hold money for a long time, then they have a big problem, and you have to avoid it.

In fact, the first impression is very important at this time. Many people walk away from the moment when they open the exchange to buy the currency. This is also the difference between the first impression of Chinese and Americans on the special currency I want to talk about today.

Anyway, the reason why I talked about this topic today is that I saw this tweet some time ago:

Another company of twitter CEO jack, the app called cash, is a mainstream tool for Americans to buy bitcoin. Now he has made two improvements, one is to provide the option of "fixed investment", the other is to start the purchase with "sats" as the unit. (to tell you the truth, 100000 sats is less than $10. It's really cheap. If it's me, I'd like to buy a lot. )

It's a good choice to take sats as a unit. I also suggest that China's domestic exchanges and overseas exchanges can follow up, ha ha.

But today's theme is not this. I want to talk about how you feel about this interface and app. Is it different from when you buy money?

This app can be understood as Alipay. It can also be understood as cloud flash payment. It is probably the American "e-cash tool". Buying bitcoin is not the most mainstream scenario.

However, with the development of bitcoin and the promotion of Jack, the CEO of square cash (also the CEO of twitter), their bitcoin sales are soaring

According to this trend, it is estimated that there will be no problem for Q2 to buy 100000 in a quarter. If you want to know the bitcoin production after halving, it will be 81000 in a quarter.

So Americans buy bitcoins on Cash App. The analogy is that you buy bitcoins on Alipay and exist on Alipay, so the impression is indeed that when you buy tips on the stock exchange, you turn to coin accounts better (compared to hoarding coins).

I do not know if you have bought a fund or similar financial products, there are generally two channels, one is transfer to stock app (like Hua Shun) in the securities account, enter the stock code purchase; two is directly in Alipay and other channels to buy.

These two channels buy the same things, but for investors, the perception is very different. In the non securities channels such as Alipay, it is generally easier to buy, because most of them do not have the idea of "speculation", but rather as a financial management, they just buy it and do not think about it in the next few days, because buying has to wait for a few days, and redemption has to wait for a few days.

It doesn't feel like it's used to "hype", but as a buy, put and sell for a long time in the future.

Because the first time I contacted the fund was through Alipay, my perception of the fund is an investment product instead of something that can be fry.

I think this is the same as buying bitcoin at home and abroad. They buy bitcoins in a place similar to Alipay, that is, they do not buy bitcoins in a place where they can provide the environment for speculation. They are bought as a financial product.

Even many times, the mentality of many people to buy is no different from that of buying something. For example, the figure below shows that someone overseas bought bitcoin after "rebate" a little money

In China, it's the exchange that buys. After buying, it prompts you whether you want to transfer to the currency account or contract account, rather than whether you want to take it away. The first impression is that it's poor.

On the whole, the channels for purchasing bitcoin in the United States are more comprehensive, and exchanges tend to buy bitcoin and put it aside, without obvious speculation and contract guidance.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the guidance of domestic exchanges. They are all commercial activities. Of course, I think it's best that the exchange will pop up a prompt "withdraw the coin immediately" after the legal currency area has bought bitcoin, but this is obviously unrealistic.

There is no right or wrong, just talk about the difference between home and abroad in this point, which should be one of the reasons why overseas investors can hold the currency better. Maybe many overseas investors don't know about "currency speculation", "leverage" and "contract opening" at all, and they don't know what the so-called altcoin is. They only know that it's OK to buy bitcoin. They can buy bitcoin on the platform they are familiar with, and then put it on.

Just like when I bought a fund, I found that there was a "floor fund" after buying for a long time, which could be the same as stock speculation. Fortunately, I don't know. Otherwise, it is estimated that the fund speculation was as clean as the stock speculation.

Sometimes it's not true that the more you know about investment, the better. Many people who make money from investment know how to buy a house without knowing anything, or know how to buy Tesla without knowing anything, or know how to buy bitcoin without knowing anything. Many of the coins that used to come down were bought in those years and kept for many years when they didn't understand anything. The more money mixed in the circle, the less

Sad to say, in a word, many times investment really depends on life, what you don't know most often happens, the more you know, the more you lose. I think the most important thing is not to forget the original intention. If you want to hold the coin, you should hold it well. Don't fry it. If you want to fry the coin, you should fry it well. Don't have any faith.

If you don't forget the original intention, you can return to the original.
