I think 胡先生 answer is very honest and sincere. Many Chinese immigrant to Canada or US tend to focus on the superficial positive things of western society, such as better living standard, freedom, job opportunities, ... but avoid many real challenges Asian immigrants facing in western society, such as racial discrimination (always being treated as outsider), isolation from social and political system, .... There is an interesting psychological mindset; many Chinese immigrants complain about their struggles in Chinese society being unbearable, but their struggles (similar degree or more) in a new society as positive growth experience. This kind of different mindset is due to people tend to take things they want in their live for granted in their own society, but subconsciously understand more effort is needed to have similar things in their live in a new society. Because of this mindset difference, they tend to justify their decision to immigrant to a new society, even there are more obvious benefits living in their own society.

无论在国内还是在国外可能都很累很辛苦,但是看得到希望的努力和看不到希望的挣扎感觉可能是不一样的

非常有趣的mindset,很有道理,我赞同大部分观点,但非常不同意最后一句, even there are more obvious benefits living in their own society. Of course not!

There always should be some changes in daily routine, which is the reason for many people moving abroad. What's more, at least, less air pollution is a factor for Chinese to move to Canada.

I agree, most Chinese immigrants deliberately avoding talking about their negative experiences (such as racial discrimination and political exclusion) in Canada/America. I think in psychology this is called "the zeal of the convert".
