Sometimes I wonder what the “stayed in China” timeline looks like for me…
I really like this timelime where I have native-level English to be able enjoy American movies and TV shows… Chinese media is very boring IMO.
I think watching American movies as a Chinese instead of Chinese-American would be more… challenging… cuz its the same as current-timeline me watching Anime and having to use subtitles… like its still enjoyable… but it’s sort of “missing something” I feel like… Like it’s a bit harder to immerse yourself into the story, know what I mean…
I doubt I’d ever learn English well if I didn’t have this timelime’s opportunity to immigrate to the US.
Also some western movies / TV shows might be harder to find in mainland China… cuz firewall… censorship… I’d be missing out on a lot of media… idk if I’d be able to ever get a functioning VPN had I never left China.

Don’t be too hard on yourself, you would. It doesn’t take much but effort, time, and some solid guidance at first. It helps that cultural export is at their strongest rn
