Aha lets test my Chinese skills.

My life over here is terrible.
Work environment is not very good (or not very bad, too blurry for me to read), benefits are few
But don't need to worry, every day has about 10 people getting heavily injured
But I am very careful
I opened a small store, bussiness is not [unknown character]
Although I am not very familiar with English, but can still [Idk what this part says]
Can understand the words those white people speak
Hope I can [find a better life here?] I will work hard here, and
Will be careful with my body (becareful with not injuring my body)
Are you (plural) still good?
Very miss you (plural), wish we can meet again

That's my 2nd grade level understanding of Chinese ๐Ÿ˜…

(I am a former citizen of China, if you are curious how I know this. Now I am a US Citizen. Haven't spoken Mandarin or written in Chinese for 10+ years. I speak Cantonese at home not Mandarin)

I'm impressed you remember it! Unless you're in 3rd grade now, in which case it's not as impressive.

On the internet, nobody knows you're a third-grader ๐Ÿ˜‰

Hey you know what's weird. I can remember a language I haven't used for 10+ years, yet I can't remember my Bitwarden password 2 days after changing it. ๐Ÿฅฒ

All this 24/7 surveillance and user tracking, they can pinpoint whether you're a 3rd grader now.

Back in the day...
