This video will answer why I returned to Shenyang in 2023. This was an outcome that seemed highly unlikely in 2022, but the reality set in. American public schools are in such disarray that it literally is impossible to take attendance.

Great video! Welcome back! As hard as it was living through the intense zero covid policy, I'm so glad i stuck it out. Looking back on it now it's all just a distant memory, sometimes I wonder if all of that really happened😂 Shenyang is Home ❤️

Thanks for the compliment Nadine! It means a lot coming from one of my favorite content creators on KZbin! Hopefully, much brighter days are ahead for our adopted hometown of Shenyang. 🙂

I was teaching ESL in Shanghai for 10 years. Best years of my life, but as yourself, I returned to the States when Covid hit. Now in Los Angeles for the past 2 years, I was just offered a teaching job in Qingdao and looking forward to returning to China. Being a teacher in LA is not desirable. The disrespect is beyond words. I'm finally going back to China. My home away from "home". Thank you so much for your video. It showed me that I am making the right decision without doubt. Cheers

You are not alone Brother! There are thousands, if not millions, who identified the cultural rot and realized that it is best to leave in spite of the politics. The situation we are dealing with is irreversible. There is nothing you can do with a clear conscience to reverse the situation. It's best to leave and start over.

You are right sir, USA is going downhill culturally and economically. Respect from India. May wonderful teachers like you get your due respect. China is a beautiful place to live and work.

Thanks for watching! I didn't plan it this way. I would love to see things be different, but sometimes you have to make lemonade out of lemons.

Yes, it has been a crazy year. I honestly had no thought of returning until the border opened in late January.

Thank you for sharing your story. I do hope that you will develop a new and deeper appreciation of what you had and are having in China (in spite of whatever imperfections it has) after your seemingly traumatic experience in Texas. All the best.

Wonderful ❤, sometimes we find we belong to place which so far from the land we were born . Led by passion , love for what we do and pursuit we arrive there with hopes and stay because we are embraced by people who appreciate us and what we can do . To achieve and same time deliver …what is better than this !? Shenyang is the place I am heading soon , I know it’s cold but in my heart is warm because love brings me there and I am ready for the next chapter of my life . I really enjoyed the video and this somehow aligned with my knowledge and idea about the beautiful and good people living there . Can’t wait to see it soon !

Things are pretty good at the moment. However, things can change in a "New York minute" as we saw in 2020. I do enjoy my life in Shenyang.
