why not hong kong or taiwan?

I suffer a lot but thats not the topic here.
What was life in finland like in the 1920s?

silly user, finland wasnt invented yet until the 2000s

I was born 70 years later how should I know?

He didnt tell me. I didnt ask

It was a yacht club. Google saint-petersburg yacht club, see for yourself

>how he survived influenza which was back then a disease with assured death
wtf are asians really this frail?

Hong Kong was a giant sweatshop and Taiwan was barely developping, Flipland was good back then

>ywn have intimate talk with your oldfuck grandpa because he died early and the other one sucks

it was hell
1 billion bc - 1150 - savages
1150-1809 - swedish rule, they do not civilize us they just take our crops and use our men in their wars
1809-1917 - russian rule, some development and we are civilized to some degree
1917 independence
1918 civil war
1920's - rebuilding our country from the ashes
1930's - rebuilding more
1939 - soviet union invades when we were unprepared, they had thousands of tanks and planes we had nothing but we repelled their attack, also we had 3 million people against 200 million, we were totally alone
1944 - peace for finland but we take in hundreds of thousands of karelian refugees and have to pay massive war reparations to soviet union, northern finland has been burned down to the ground by the nazis
1948 - usa starts giving money to european countries to help them rebuild and offers it to finland but finland rejects it
2019 - Finland is the happiest country in the world (UN), the most good country in the world 2019 (Good Country Index), most stable country in the world 2019 (Fragile state index)

i wish i was happy like you

Imagine seeing the world change right before your eyes only to tell your weeb grandchild that the world was better before transistors and penicillin existed

Influenza had no vaccine back then, it was a deadly disease, he had to sell his dad's (my great grandpa's) land for hospital bills.
He worked his way out of debt and poverty after WW2 by selling cigs and clothes to US soldiers

I dont talk about anything weeb with him
He has a deep deep hate for Japanese people in general. He admits they changed but he also admits he just hates them

>every great grandfather served in both the nazi and austrian armies
>all of them came from soldier families but were mostly farmers
>almost all of them survived both world wars
>grandfather tells me the stories of our great grandfather how he was a lieutenant in the austrian army and how life was pretty much perfect
yeah i am thinking of a time machie

i feel a personal connection to you sufferer-philippino even though i have only been in like 5 of your threads

Just give him the pillow treatment, nobody has any business being 103.

Are you old?

communist was barely a thing in china until the 1930s

I dunno how this happens, you're like the 4th guy to say this on Jow Forums. One American, a british user, some italian guy and now you. I think some jap said so too

I dunno maybe I feel like a friend to you amd you are lonely?

maybe
i guess it's just like loving a camgirl
there are many like me

>from China

You could always come back pengyou ;^)

You should also probably ask which province he was from

No. He is.
My dad and his wife died first before he did over a year ago. God, I miss my dad.

since he live in flipland
100% hokkien

FUJIANREN RISEUP

Old fags will always believe the times of their youth were the best.

I dunno. he was born in 1916 and he said my grandpa was born here. His dad would go to both China and Flipland regularly and he had a wife here eventually

>My dad and his wife died first before he did over a year ago
hold up
the way you structured that makes me believe that they died of old age, doesn't that make you like at least 40 years old?

Good fucking hell is this what you do everyday now
I fucking hate kaguya because of you
Please neck yourself

I'm 27. My grandpa is just that old. He said he only married when he got his shit together at 30 yrs old iirc, My grandpa is a self made man

>swedish rule, they do not civilize us they just take our crops and use our men in their wars
I bet they used your women too.

are you telling me that your parent's had you when they were like 45 years old?
that sounds extremely unlikely, especially in a developing country

No they didn't, they didn't really come here much.
You can check DNA maps for that. Swedes have more Finn DNA than we have Swede DNA because it was actually our men who went to Sweden to fight Danes and Norwegians. Lol.

maybe they had a bunch of kids

If this trivial makes you haye Kaguya sama then you dont deserve to like her.

I dunno how you came up with that conclusion. My parents were mid 30s when I was born

user..

your granda was a cuck to the americans

Most people were at the time. America was overwhelmingly popular
He told me Flips wanted to be the 51st state, America just didnt want it

Those were bad years. My family was in the soviet union at the time. Red terror was rampant. Soviet thugs came and took everything multiple times, the land animals everything. People started to dissappear shot by the nkvd. Whoever wasnt dead or had managed to flee was then deported to siberian labor camps.

Did any people your parents know die?

30s is a 10 year old decade you mong, that gives a 20 year leeway in total

If he was old eniugh he would say life was better under Spain
My dad tells me similar stories about how there was less crime under Franco and people were more afraid of police back then, and im the transition to democracy Madrid became unsage and robberies at knifepoint could happen

>20 year leeway in total
whut? how does 10=20?
admittedly it was not revealed when gramps had babies, only that he got married in his thirties and since we don't know the age of his wife he could have easily got kids in his fifties making anons parent exactly mid thirties when they had user
the reason i went with the old assumption was that it would make sense that they were old because they died, 70 years is pretty old.
but i suppose a person can die at fifty just as well

my family lived in slums and worked in ship yards with terrible working conditions and high rates of industrial accidents

life was pretty shit here up until about the late 70s

In my experience amerindians also tend to develop aggressive flu symptoms and a lot of complications if they go without treatment.
Seen it first hand on an indigenous community at mountainside.

My family was one of the richest in town. My parents moved to Madrid and had a pretty good life but my dad decided to move to the town of his parents and slowly destroy the family resulting in a divorce and 2/4 disabled kids

Nope its was just your grandad, I think he also give Americans and Japanese $5dollar blow jobs so he can feed your parents

My paternal grandpa's family was still getting out of miserable poverty. His grandpa was a coal miner and suffered from black lung. Some of the family was communist because they thought communism or socialism was the best path for the working class. His father eventually got a decent job delivering ice though.
My paternal grandma's family were teachers in Ohio and Pennsylvania. They weren't badly off.
My maternal grandpa's family were middle class shopkeepers in Philly.
My maternal grandma's family were very, very poor and had only been in the US for 10-15 years. They came from Ukraine.

Are you pure Ukrainian?

No, 1/4

I dated a Filipino girl in college who was born when her parents were in their 50s. Flips are a reproductive enigma.
