I was told many many times about so called "Taiwan pathos"
and know well of your heartbreaking history.
As an ordinary Chinese I show my sympathy
As for we pursue money, you pursue high hierarchy needs
we have bad culture, you have good culture and so on....
I believe these have nothing to do with this topic.
The problem is China MUST take back Taiwan, it is not only for
the interest of Chinese government but also for the interest of
all Chinese people.
and all the main countries in this world believe Taiwan is a part
of China (except some tiny islands in Latin America)
and now China have more and more power to take back Taiwan.
So you have to try to adapt yourself to our bad culture and
low-hierarchy needs.
I am curious that how did you adapt yourself to Japanese
occupation? have you ever felt any cultural conflict with them?
and complained "self-identity and low self-esteem" to them?
I suppose not, because your grandfather even joined Japanese
invading army and fought against justice and be killed.
Tell me which difference is larger, mainland vs HK or mainland vs TW?
Maybe you need to find a better excuse for your split.
