Unlike western or other oriental families, most of Chinese are career-oriented, i.e they are more gearing to go out to work (regardless what kind of work) than stay home. This philosophy dominates Chinese community and it is invisible but controlling our behavior. I don't think anyone can walk away unless he/she was educated in differernt ways. So, my point is your friend can't get away from the reality and why not just sit back and relax, learn to enjoy each and everyday. I am sure she doesn't want to screw up her own life and make the rest of her life miserable. SO, cheer up and make the life worth living.
