95

Had a lovely WeChat conversation with my 96 year old revolutionary grandfather a couple days ago and at one point he hit me with the "You should buy property over there to rent out, it's very lucrative, and you should take the {老外|lǎo wài}'s money and spend it in China"

I actually had no idea how to respond to this financial advice. Like at face value, the housing market is a bubble and could collapse at any moment, and also I'm not sure how moral being a parasite would be even if you're leeching off of the benefactors of colonialism and western hegemony.

I just feel happy that your grandfather has lived so long and seen his country go from WW2 and famine to the zeroeth world.
