the reasons why I am so happy | comprehensible input Chinese | intermediate
The Lazy Chinese teacher explains why she felt old and anxious at 25 but is happy at 33. She moved to Australia at 27 and decided not to have children. She describes Epicurus's three ingredients for happiness (friendship, freedom and the ability to think) and gives her view on 'moral blackmail' in Chinese culture.
