      I think it depends a lot on where and when you grew up. Afaik in China it’s very much uncommon to be able to swim.

        Once I saved a chinese guy from drowning, he was struggling to get back up on his pedalo, where his umbrella-carrying lady was watching us struggle in the river, him frantically gripping the side of the boat like a frog, me with my foot on his ass, pushing him with all my might. They were both obviously embarrassed, neither realizing the dude was 1mn away from exhaustion

        I figure, if I hadn’t done that, maybe the situation in Taiwan would be different
