Maybe not yesterday, and maybe not tomorrow even, but today, at least, I truly believe that at least 90% of all Chinese people in mainland China are completely self-serving and heartless. I have already run into many instances that make me believe (and I have had it verbally confirmed by other Chinese close enough to me to be open and honest with me) that most Chinese people think purely of themselves and their own personal needs and wants and don't really care about other people unless it directly affects oneself, and now I believe that most Chinese people really are cold and heartless.

 I am trying to get my coffee house started up, and part of the process means that I have to get a business license. Now, before getting the business license, I had to get the sanitation license, which required that I rent the location for the coffee house and renovate it to be up to sanitation standards. This, of course, means that rent money for the location has already been paid, and a great amound of money has also been paid for renovation. So when we get to the step of getting the business license, they tell us that we have to take a form to each and every person who lives in the building above us and get their approval to open the coffee house so that we are certain that no one will feel disrespected if the coffee house is too loud for them. That means getting the approval of 14 different people who live above me, and if even one of them doesn't approve, then we don't get a business license for this location. Well why the heck didn't they have us do this before we went and dished out all the rent money and renovation???!!!

 Okay, that's just the first issue. Second issue is that after I start going up the stairs asking people if they can sign for me, I get a whole slew of people who say, like idiots, 'oh, well, that doesn't have anything to do with me - I live on this side, not that side - so i don't have to sign' or 'well, i'll have to think about it' or 'i'll wait till the very last - after everyone else has signed' ... and then tonight, which bugs me the most, is this guy who tells me he'll wait till everyone else has signed, i tell him we've already invested a huge amount into this and we aren't going to be noisy or bother any of the neighbors, he tells me, well, you should have done this before you rented the place, i say, yes, I agree, but they didn't tell us until now that we have to do this, and he says, well, you should have consulted a lawyer first to find out. Absolutely no heart, no concern, no wish to help me, all the man can do is tell me what a sad situation I am in and what I should have done after I've already done it. What an ass hole. The people I seem to be encountering in this quest to get people to sign in agreement to me opening a coffee house downstairs seem to be either all idiots or ass holes. I think 90% of all Chinese are just plain heartless.
