| I really can't understand why anyone would question this issue in the first place. Why would you uproot a family, wife, kids, self to CHINA. Low income, insecurity, major other issues, financial, culture, interaction, and Soooooo onnnnnnn. It only makes sense to be an "actual teacher" back home. A single guy with nothing to do, running from something, or that sort of thing is one thing, but taking your children and wife to the other side of the world, CHINA mind you is a whole different bag. Now, taking your Chinese wife and kids to America from China is another thing as well. |
It still counts as an uprooting, sure, but since the wife in question happens to be Chinese, apparently born and having spent at least part of her life in China, it would seem that that is actually where her "roots" are ... not that that necessarily means she wants to go back there, which is a different question.
Also, China and Australia are pretty much on exactly the same side of the world, unless we're talking North / South / Equator-wise, so your "one size fits all" critique does not seem to fit very well in this situation. |
