it was really great for the most part. the covid lock down part kinda sucked but the rest was great and it really shifted my perspective on a lot of things. the main one being having a kid isn't actually the hard part about having a kid, capitalism is the hard part of having a kid, we just got to focus on what's important instead of making money to keep us alive.

That's beautifully put, genuinely.

I get the sense that despite all the hardship, was there a sense of camaraderie, unity, and love and togetherness and stuff, among your family and Chinese people in general?
