But i am happy that i am still here. I have another look on life. I really hope nobody need to go thru such a thing like i have now. Because it's really painful in the end.

    Same with me. I am a Korean man born in the Soviet Union who highly hates American culture, and many of these Asian Americans look nothing like me. In fact, I look like Kim Jong Il when he was young (who is from North Korea). If you don't know Kim Jong Il, he is Kim Jong Un's father, and plus, fun fact: My dad (80 years old) resembles Kim Jong Il in part because he is very short (only 164 cm today) and plus his appearance really compares to the dictator vs me being 170 centimetres. Plus, in my mother's side (she is a Koryo Saram born to space engineers from North Korea in Kazakhstan), I also have an older cousin (half Koryo-half Vietnamese through a South Vietnamese father), she is now 37, and she had breast cancer at 32 in 2015, and she is now cancer free. Привет, товарищи. Меня зовут Сергей Алексеевич Ким, я родился в 2001 году в Москве, Россия (когда-то Россия была частью Советского Союза). Моего отца зовут Алексей Ён-Хо Ким, он родился в 1940 году в Маньчжурии, так как его отец (Ким Ён Сап) (родился в 1897 году) был коммунистическим революционером и антияпонским политиком, который пытался бороться за единую коммунистическую Маньчжурию. и коммунистическая Корея. Моя мама, кстати, родилась в 1961 году в Алма-Ате, Казахстан, где ее родители работают космическим инженером на одном из месторождений в Казахстане. Я считаю себя русско-корейским во втором поколении (точно так же, как многие северокорейцы имеют сильное влияние России), и я переехал в Америку в 2012 году, чтобы поступить в 7-й класс в Кембриджском университете. И у меня, и у этого человека есть общие черты, потому что мы оба не только корейцы (я на 75 процентов северокорейский, на 25 процентов китайский, хотя, поскольку трое моих дедушек и бабушек родились в Северной Корее), у нас обоих есть вьетнамская девушка, и оба наших вьетнамских подруг тоже зовут Тран. Моя девушка, которую зовут Тран, на самом деле родилась во Вьетнаме (хотя она в основном китайского происхождения и была усыновлена, и ее место рождения можно отследить в Центральном Китае), она фактически переехала в Америку в 15 лет в 2016 году и на месяц моложе меня.

Father left us then her mom might leave her too. Fun times. The good news is It's been 21 years since treatment finished. Most men bail.
