Saw it on a documentary in an TV channel from Spain. These fuckers are taking over the world little by little.

You do have to respect their ability for delayed gratification, sacrifice to a bigger goal other than their selves. Hard work, discipline, paying one's dues, looks like these are ingrained in many Chinese. No wonder the Hokkien and other Chinese minorities figure strongly Southeast Asia's economies.
My takeaway: Be grateful for what you have and realize that it's always not as bad as it seems. Everyone has the seed of greatness in their hands. It all depends on what they do with it. Many of these Chinese migrant workers are the parents of future taipans or laying the groundwork for something big... in the future. The future is built on sacrifice and hard work and self-denial.
