Answers to you and to me

First, I have to say this is a good essay; form it, I can find the shadow of myself and other foreign students. For the foreign students, we are all struggling in the gap between cultures. Homeland or host country, it’s a difficult choice.
The reason Liu want to stay with other Chinese is he needs identification from others. In my mind, I think people’s lives are supported by feeling not food. We can find a lot of people live a poor life but happy; we can also find a lot of people owns all but sad. According to the essay, when Liu studied in the U.S., he is not as young as other international students, and he is also a person with strong pride. Therefore, after he was shabbily laughed in the class, he needed more encourage from others, he needs the feeling of home. However, those can’t be given by Americans, so Liu choose to live with Chinese.
I have similar situation which Liu experienced. Being laughed or being discriminated by Americans maybe is the first lesson must be learned by every Chinese Students. I used like to eat in Rodney Hall, but now I don’t eat there anymore, because stuffs there laughed me for my English. It was in April, not long after I came to U.S. At that time I almost couldn’t speak English, so every time when I ordered my meal I could only figure my meal, not ask my meal. One day when I wait for my burger in the Rodney, I met a black lady; I didn’t know how to say the dish’s name I want, so I figured it, but she told me I need to know the name of the dish or she wouldn’t give me the meal. When I heard her words, first I was embarrassed, and then became grate angry. I thought how you could do this for me? If I were in China, you ever don’t have the qualification to serve me! The lady’s behavior made first realized I’m not belonging to here. I spend 1,200,000 Chinese yan about 170,000 U.S. dollars study here and have a good score, but all these can’t change others’ respect. This made me upset with Americans for a long-time and only stay with Chinese, because from Chinese groups I can receive respects. I have been in U.S. for 8 month, now I have a conclusion for myself. Studying here is only study here, my future is in China. I don’t need to force myself to make friends with Americans, because we are in the same level. In the past 100 years, China is fall behind of U.S., a lot of Chinese wanted to meet Americans to make money. But, now we have money but not knowledge, so I come here to study.
Time is changing, people are different. I have met similar difficulties which Liu had, but eventually we still two persons.
