In North America, we usually have Parent-Teacher School Night, where the teachers stay at the school in the evening and the parents come to meet the teachers to discuss their children's school progress.

I'm not sure what you would call a day where the school is open for parents to visit. What are the parents doing at the school? Will they attend classes? Will they meet with the teachers to discuss their children's progress while the children play outside? More context may be needed.

I'm more curious what an "English party" is.  Sounds like something your Amish father would disapprove of.

It seems you know little about China. A great number of rich Chinese, have better English and more-American lifestyle than Americans.

oh yeah?  That's amazing!  Are there other ways in which wealthy Chinese are envious of regular Americans?

[v0031]

No, they enjoy more human rights than you.

LMAO

that's interesting.  See, we get a different view of China than this.  Here, we are told that poor Chinese in the country can't even move to the city without getting some paperwork first.  We are told there is only one party to vote for.  I've heard private gun ownership is basically impossible.  There are videos on the news of people upset about lock downs fighting with cops in Hazmat suit and riot gear, they must be fake or from somewhere else I guess 'cause the PRC has more human rights that the US.  So you are free to call your Dear Leader Winnie the Pooh despite it angering the little bitch?  We sure hear a lot of lies about the PRC over here, I'm glad v00031 is here to set us straight.

If you want to know the truth of a coutry, learn its language, otherwise, you know by being told.

[dead0man]

sure sure, but I'd like to be told about how the people living inside the PRC have more human rights than me.  What are some examples of that?  For example, if I Google "gun control in the PRC" I get this

In the People's Republic of China, access by the general public to firearms is subject to some of the strictest control measures in the world. With the exception of individuals with hunting permits and some ethnic minorities, civilian firearm ownership is restricted to non-individual entities.

does that read differently in Mandarin?  Or if I google this "press freedom in the PRC" I get this

The Constitution of the People's Republic of China guarantees "freedom of speech [and] of the press" which the government in practice routinely violates with total impunity, according to Reporters Without Borders.

is that wrong?  Do I need to learn Mandarin to understand why having fewer rights means you actually have better human rights?
