One of my friends said, "Describe your life in another language, and you will realize how ridiculous it is." I didn't believe it until today. I'm kinda explaining what life looks like in China. It's pretty normal in Chinese words, but when you have to find those words to represent those Chinese only things, it becomes ridiculous.

For example, the house price. There is no land price in China since by law all lands are government properties and they lend the land to you because you buy a house. And the household registration thing, we called hukou (there is an entry on Wikipedia for this term), it basically limits the freedom of moving to a city. You must bond to a city/place before you can live. The bond requires government approval. Not mention the already scary thing, like during the covid19, the police will break into your house and force you to be isolated, not because you're affected but because they think you're suspicious.

That sentence might not always be correct. Sorry for my limited knowledge, but I assume if you live somewhere like Europe, then your life is not ridiculous at all. One's life won't become ridiculous just because they use different languages to describe. It sounds ridiculous because it's ridiculous. They just didn't notice that in their native/local language.
