🚌 A Bus Ride That Made Me Realize Why Singapore Is the Ultimate Social Model for Chinese

🚏 True Multiracial Integration
While lost in Singapore, an elderly Indian man kindly pointed me in the right direction—twice. When I queued incorrectly, he even took the initiative to guide me. In China, ethnic minorities have largely assimilated with the Han majority, creating harmony through sameness. But in Singapore, people look different, speak different languages, yet coexist in an exceptionally harmonious way.

📝 Empathy for the Underserved
Once on the bus, I noticed the signage. Instead of cluttered advertisements, there were thoughtful reminders encouraging passengers to be courteous and make the ride pleasant for everyone. I haven’t seen such details even in Western countries, let alone in Shanghai, where not all bus systems are designed with accessibility for disabled individuals in mind.

🏡 A Real-Life Model of Livability
Singapore’s commitment to affordable housing is a practical reality. The Housing & Development Board (HDB) ensures that ordinary citizens can own comfortable homes—housing is for living, not speculation. In recent years, newly built HDB flats have been designed by commercial real estate firms, making them both stylish and functional. Unlike Hong Kong, where low-income residents are squeezed into tiny cubicles, Singapore prioritizes dignified living spaces for all.

Singapore may well embody the ideal social model many Chinese aspire to.
