Features: Seattle is the largest city in the northwestern United States, where the famous "Microsoft" and "Boeing" companies are located. Seattle is also one of the most beautiful cities in the United States, ranked as one of the most livable places. Now, in a relaxed and leisurely state, invited by relatives living in the United States, I immersed myself in the scenery of the western United States, getting close to and observing American society and life. By carefully observing and deeply thinking, I not only dispelled many of my previous misconceptions but also "discovered many interesting things." I "felt the great differences between Chinese and Western cultures" but also discovered their complementarity. I found many aspects of American social production, lifestyles, moral behavior, and even systems and institutions that could serve as valuable references for us.
