Your responses give me the most interesting glimpse behind the curtain on how's the real life working in China I've ever had; super interesting, thanks a lot for this! :) I'll have to try to ask my parents in what ways it was similar or different in "communist" Poland. Though I think the situation may have been much more loose there then, from what I understand I think nobody really took the communism seriously in their hearts in there; at least after some point in history. But I may be totally wrong on this full well.
