Juan is definitely exceptional and above eneryone. However, in real life, she is the outlier and most people are just average Joes and Janes. Some girls have some of Juan's merits but not all of them. Juan is a total package except a little boring :-)
Dave definitely got some issues and he needed to fix it himself. It happened to lots of my friends - the lost of life objectives/plans is pretty tough. It also happened to me while I was young. I am surprised Dave didn't quit earlier and do something else he was more interested - it might the pressure from peers and wife (the school is a top school) and lack of financial resources/good opportunities. If Dave went to a shitty school and still a single, he might have quit long time ago and is having a good job now.

come on Mr. Wolf. 杜十娘 was a good girl who looked for a real love and got cheated by a bad guy. She was a prostitute (not by choice) but fought hard to have a real love. The end was sad but she is quite a respectable lady.
Yang? Getting married with a foreigner is not a fault. Why are you so against about that? :-) However, dumping Dave and still came back to the lab are bad, especially the latter.
Now I seriously believe your ex- dumped you and moved to a white guy. :-) Just kidding

HaiPan, haha I think you are wrong in your 2nd part of your statement.
Right she is still far away from being evil but defnitely not a noble person. However, she is indeed extremely selfish - she considers everything form her slef-interest first. That's ok - she is an adult anway
However, lots of people disliked her not because of hatred, angry or jealousy. I bet lots of folks who read this book are having or will have betters lives than Yang/Butt. I don't think jealousy plays a big part here. In real life, I would just simply ignore Yang

Agree. Butt is using double standards to advance his own interests, which US and western countries have been using so proficiently for so long. I still remembered New York Times called the terrorists of Xinjiang and Chechen The Freedom Fighters right before 911. After 911, I asked my white friends, how did the freedom fighters do?

I would think saving Dave is just the by-product of saving her reputation. Definitely she did a good thing for Dave, more from protecting her own reputation.
She is defeinitely really selfish lady who did a good thing at this point
