Well said.
What he said about "today I have money I drink alcohol, tomorrow I don't have money then I'll drink water".
This is not properly translated.
It is the Chinese saying equivalent to the French, se poi moi le deluge, after me the flood, ie, live life to the fullest, YOLO, who cares about tomorrow.
Well he's obviously a poor and hence dumb, or unlikely, somewhat has a conscience, and was thus dispatched to Awfrica.
I'll never forget that the kindest most honest person in China is the street sweeper garbage lady. 18 people walked by a 3 year old run over by a van without so much as slowing down what to speak of help. But the garbage old lady stopped to help. What does this mean? It means kindness, mercy, compassion, ruth, empathy, are not Chinese virtues and not valuable in their society.
Actually deep in their soul, no one hates a Chinaman more than a Chinaman, because they know what they are, but persist to play the ring of power game, like a dog returning to its vomit or a sow to its mire, and they know it, and they hate themselves, but the idiosyncrasy is that, when they want to weep tears of self pity, they cannot, and instead will laugh. A Chinaman cries by laughing. That's how they cry.
