1. It has probably the best cuisine in the world. You'll find authentic Chinese food is nothing like the Chinese take-aways that you pay for 5 dollars and think it's all it's worth.

2. Most things are getting better, people stay hopeful. China is still on the track of rapid development, hence notable and continuous improvement of living standard. You'll find life in generally is going towards a better version of itself day by day.

1. 中国也许拥有全世界最棒的烹饪菜色。正宗的中餐绝不是你花5美元就能买到的那种中餐外卖。

2. 生活一路向好，人们充满希望。中国仍处在快速发展的轨道上，人民生活水平得到了显著提高，而且还在持续提高。你会发现日子一天比一天好。

3. Business opportunities are everywhere. As China is still in transition, there are lots of demands need to be met, that allows extensive businesses to thrive. Also, the huge market itself is a generator of wealth and opportunities.

4. It is amazingly diverse and extensive in culture and geography. China would be one of the only few countries that possess so diverse landscape and cultures. It is a paradise if you are a true traveller.

3. 商机无处不在。由于中国仍处于转型阶段，有很多需求需要满足，这使得大量企业得以蓬勃发展。此外，巨大的市场本身就是财富和机会的创造者。

4. 中国在文化和地理上有着惊人的多样性和博大性。中国是少数几个拥有如此丰富景观和文化的国家之一。如果你是一个真正的旅行家，中国就是天堂。

5. It brings you into a neighborhood of popular destinations in the world. China situates in the middle of Russia, Japan, Korea, SEA, Middle Asia, South Asia, and have reasonably convenience access to these areas if you'd like to visit from here.

6. It has great historical legacy in terms of oriental philosophy. It is brilliant and benefiting so long as you are into it. Picture the Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Terra Cotta Warriors...

5. 中国带你进入世界热门地区的集中地。中国位于俄罗斯、日本、韩国、东南亚、中亚和南亚的中间，如果你想从中国出发，可以非常方便地抵达这些地区。

6. 中国在东方哲学领域有着出众的历史积累。如果你对此有兴趣，会发现中国的历史非常灿烂辉煌，让人受益颇丰。想象一下长城、紫禁城和兵马俑……

7. Very good public safety. The major Chinese cities are the few big cities in the world where you can walk alone on the streets at midnight and not worrying too much about robbery, murder or rape. Expats are safer in this sense.

8. People are generally nice and helpful to expats, more so to Caucasians. But if you're not, you can make it up by learning and speaking Chinese, it helps you win favors from locals pretty easily.

7. 公共安全十分出色。中国的大城市是世界上少数几个可以在午夜独自出门且不用担心抢劫、谋杀或强奸的大城市。从这个意义上说，外国人在中国更为安全。

8. 中国人通常对外国人都很友好，乐于助人，对白种人更是如此。但如果你不是白种人，学习并使用中文可以让你很容易赢得当地人的好感。

9. Shop is easy. Not necessarily always cheap, but very easy. China has the most shop malls in the world and the largest online shop platforms that make your shop experience efficient.

10. Just a different way of life. No other country in the world can offer you a lifestyle that China offers. It'll be very unique experience.

9. 购物十分便捷。倒不是说肯定便宜，但确实很便捷。中国拥有全世界最多的购物中心和最大的在线购物平台，让你的购物方便高效。

10. 这是一种不同的生活方式。世界上没有哪个国家能提供中国所能提供的生活方式。这会是一次非常独特的人生经历。

It doesn't mean you will have no concerns for living in China, and if you start another thread on that I'll be happy to contribute too.

以上并不是说你在中国生活不会遇到问题，如果你另开新帖，我很乐意继续投稿回答。

If there is a chance to live in China, will you come?

Yes, I would come to China.

I have already lived there a few years ago, for a few years. It was wonderful. Shanghai, Beiing, and Wux. I went there from New Zealand, on a French expat contract. I’m very impressed by China, and can absolutely recommend experiencing it.

You see amazing things, and it is a very abundant, exotic, and calm experience.

I could see myself returning to China when I’m retired, perhaps do some teaching or consulting, from February till May every year, when things are still cold and soggy here in Sweden.

I often miss the many wonderful sights there.

如果有机会在中国生活，你会去吗？

是的，我会去中国。

几年前，我已经在中国住了几年了。太棒了。上海、北京和无锡。我是拿着一份法国侨民合同从新西兰去的。我对中国印象深刻，推荐去体验一下。

你可以看到令人惊叹的东西，一种非常丰富、异国情调和平静的体验。

我期盼自己退休后回到中国，也许从每年的2月到5月做一些教学或咨询，这几个月瑞典的天气仍然寒冷潮湿。

我经常想念中国那里的许多美景。

China isn’t for everyone and not everyone should go and live in China because a lot of people are going to hate it. Mind you, I can say the same about the UK, a lot of people wouldn’t gel with living there either. I love China but it took two years for that to come about - so be aware you will go through a phase of acclimitisation. Be patient and things get better.

中国并不适合所有人，并非每个人都应该去中国生活，因为很多人不会喜欢。请注意，如果目的地是英国，我也会说一样的话，很多人也不适应在英国的生活。我爱中国，但我花了两年时间才喜欢上这里，所以你肯定需要经历一个适应的阶段。耐心一些，一切都会好起来的。

1.Everyday is an adventure, every day, something interesting happens or you see something interesting

2.The food is great - I love Chinese food, it is a fantastic cuisine and that’s all I eat now, I don’t even go KFC anymore

1. 每天都是一场新的冒险，每天都会发生一些有趣的事情，或者会看到一些有趣的事情

2. 中餐棒呆了——我喜欢中餐，中餐太棒了，我现在只吃中餐，我甚至都已经不再去肯德基了

3.People are nice - there are dingbats and absolute helmets of course but they’re everywhere, most Chinese people are very friendly

4.It is very very safe - mum worries about her eldest son back in England and I have to go ‘mum, I am a lot more safer here than back home’ which sort of puts her mind at rest. House burgularies, muggings and the like are unheard of.

3.中国人很友好，当然也有些蠢货，但多数中国人都很友好

4.中国非常非常安全——我妈妈在英国担心她的大儿子，我只能跟她说‘妈妈，我在中国比在家里还要安全得多’，她这才放心了。入室盗窃、抢劫之类的事基本上闻所未闻。

5.People are really laid back - there is no air of tension like things are about to kick off, in the UK, that tension is everywhere, people are about to explode over the smallest of things - Chinese people are really laid back and one thing about living here is that the tension is slowly draining away from my body and it is lovely

5. 人们真的很悠闲——我在这里感觉不到紧张的气愤，但在英国时我总感觉大家的情绪都很紧绷，会因为鸡毛蒜皮的事而爆发——中国人真的很悠闲，我感觉在中国生活后，紧张情绪也慢慢地从我的身体里消失了，这太惊喜了。

6.It’s not a rules obsessed place - if you want to ride a scooter without a helmet then no-one is going to stop you, not even the traffic cops - but if you fall off your scooter and your head goes crack on the road, then mummy and daddy aren’t going to get any compo payouts for your worthless ass.

6.中国不是一个被条条框框束缚的地方——如果你骑摩托车时不想戴头盔，没有人会拦你，就连交通警察也不会拦你——但是如果你从摩托车上摔下来，把头磕破了，那么你父母也不会因为你这个没用的家伙得到任何赔偿。

7.It’s not a police state - cops are really laid back and rather nice and polite and human. They’re not bullies - they’re not very helpful either but they’re onto it if someone was going to commit a major felony.

7. 中国不是一个警察国度——警察也很悠闲，非常友好、礼貌、有人情味。他们不是恶霸——他们也不总能帮上忙，但如果有人想实施重大重罪，他们会及时发现。

8.These are very exciting times for Chinese people - were not there yet, but we are on the ascent of ‘never having it so good’ to quote Harold MacMillan to the British people when they were experiencing great personal prosperity in the sixties, this is a great place to be at the moment as Chinese people are getting richer and are able to go more places as visa restrictions are lifted and they’re able to buy the consumer items they make for the rest of the planet - this makes China a very very positive place to be at this moment.

8. 对中国人来说，这是激动人心的时刻——我们还没有到达那一步，但我们一直在进步，用哈罗德·麦克米伦的话来说，“从来没有这么好过”，这句话说的是60年代的英国人开始过上了好日子。中国人也正变得越来越富有，随着签证限制的取消，他们能够去往更多地方，他们买得起中国为其他国家加工的消费品——这使中国成了一个欣欣向荣的国家。

9.No lying politicians on the telly - I don’t have to listen to another arsehole politician on the telly because they don’t have to sell me their wares so I can vote for their worthless arses - no-one says this about living in this state - I don’t have to put up with worthless politicians spouting shite unlike back in the UK - now I know why I was always in a bad mood when I was living there and Chinese people generally are not.

9.中国的电视上没有谎话连篇的政客—我不用听政客们在电视里聒噪，他们不需要向我兜售他们的想法，让我给他们投票—在这个国度没有人说这些废话——我不需要像在英国那样忍受政客们一文不值的连篇废话—现在我知道为什么我在英国时总是心情不好，但中国人通常都会不这样。

10.I’ll paraphrase the opening line from the great classic film A Bout de Souffle when Michel Poiccard talks about the greatness of France and why it’s the best country in the world (because it has everything you want) and it goes like this.

"Si vous n'aimez pas la mer, si vous n'aimez pas la montagne, si vous n'aimez pas la ville... Allez vous faire foutre !"

The same goes for China.

10. 我想引用经典电影《精疲力竭》的开场白，这是米歇尔·波卡德谈到法国的伟大之处，以及为什么法国是世界上最好的国家(因为它有你想要的一切)时的台词，它是这么说的：

“如果你不喜欢大海，如果你不喜欢山，如果你不喜欢城市……滚!”

中国也是如此。

The Chinese people are helpful and kind to foreigners. That was my experience during my 5 yrs there.

Different regions, very different food, much more apparent that what I see in different parts of the US.

One learns incredible patience as it is a crowded country and Chinese people sometimes do things the old-fashion way (but not always). Actually-

中国人乐于助人，对外国人很友好。这是我在中国生活5年的感受。

不同地区的饮食千差万别，比我在美国各地看到的差异更明显。

这是一个人口众多的国家，而且中国人有时会沿用老方法做事(但也不一定)，所以必须修炼极大的耐心。

The Chinese can be incredibly speedy when showing up right after I ordered Internet hook up.

Pick up a new language. Prob Mandarin but maybe Cantonese or even both.

Learn the correct way to eat using chopsticks. I'm serious.

Items of necessity are very inexpensive in China.

我在网上下单后很快就送达了，速度快得令人难以置信。

学一门新语言。可以学普通话，也可以学粤语，或者两者都学。

学习如何正确地使用筷子吃饭。我没开玩笑。

中国的生活必需品价格很便宜。

Apartment living is so inexpensive compared to the US.

KFC on every corner. Not for me, but some love that stuff.

Starbucks, Häagen-Dazs ice cream has arrived in China some time ago.

Bargaining is so much fun, esp at the open fruit and veggie markets.

和美国相比，公寓租金非常便宜。

每个角落都能找到肯德基。我不喜欢，但有些人喜欢。

星巴克，哈根达斯冰淇淋也都进入中国了。

砍价很有意思，尤其在露天的水果和蔬菜市场。
