不只是卧虎藏龙, 海外版簡直是elitist
也不出奇, 能出國讀書家境也不會差吧

I know you didn't mean anything negative by that comment, but I just want to clarify...since I started this thread and all.

In my personal case, I came from a very regular family in China with no "connections". My parents borrowed money to come to U.S. nine years ago and started from zero knowing very little English.

My family was quite poor when I went to high school----we worked in a laundromat and sometimes we picked up clothes our customers had thrown away, washed them, and wore them ourselves. My senior prom dress cost $60 and my mother wanted to return it to the store after the prom night because we couldn't really afford it. On FAFSA, my family's expected yearly contribution to my college expenses was like $40.

Through a combination of hard work, luck, enterprise and kindness of others, my family has been able to prosper in recent years. Even though I have a sometimes difficult relationship with my parents, it doesn't take away my enormous respect for them on this account. That's why I wrote this reply, because I don't want people reading this thread thinking my parents are like the parents of those LV and Prada girls.

Thank you.

ok....interesting
我是指出國”留學”的人家境不會差
移民當然是另計．若是citizen或是resident的話上大學當然是花不了多少錢: grants, loans即使成綪不好也一大堆(更不用說只須給in-state-tuition) Hell, 窮人反而比有錢人方便...可不必擺出一副”I have had it rough" 的樣子:p

There is a certain connotation to the idea of somebody being rich in China today, and I think we all know what that is. You can talk about overseas students and their family background in a different thread all you want, but if you say this as a response to my personal news I am entitled to make relevant clarifications regarding my family.
