一样米养百样人
Yes! I say it this way, though: 一种米养百种人
I have always wanted to ask: to what extent does the typical Korean understand Chinese/Kanji characters? I see them sprinkled all over the place during my travels in Korea, but don’t know if the Koreans actually use them in daily life
I'd say the cutoff is around 30 years old? The older generation still had to learn them at school. People don't use them though, other than the occasional 小 中 大 to describe portion sizes at the restaurant. Maybe still a few fancy newspapers sprinkle a few around.

Before my mind pivots to feeling the gravity of a situation, I typically subscribe to the victim mentality: why and how did I land myself in this shithole?! So, knowing that others have been through worse is well n fine, but it doesn’t excuse the fact that I’m in a shithole haha
