Kill Line and Line Drawing

Someone in the group mentioned the kill line yesterday.
This was the first time I heard of this term.
After looking into it, the general idea is that if your health bar isn't thick enough and you encounter a crisis without a safety cushion, you end up going from bad to worse, ultimately becoming homeless.

Speaking of homeless people, I once encountered one in New York. It was 2009, and I was shopping with a college friend. There was a homeless person at the subway entrance, and people passing by would beg. My friend didn't give money and just smiled. Guess what happened next? The long-haired homeless man spat directly at us. My other friend and I quickly pulled him away.

The subway tunnels in the US are not as cool as those in China; they are quite old. In August and September, it gets hot and stuffy, and only when you get on the subway do you feel the coolness.

Indeed, China's infrastructure is much better in this regard, and it’s much cooler in summer.

When I first arrived in Virginia, I was living with people from Russia, Ukraine, and Kyrgyzstan. We slept on inflatable mats, two per room. The two Ukrainian girls shared a room, and later I had a conflict with the Kyrgyzstan guy, so I moved to stay at a Fujianese restaurant owner’s place.

This Fujianese owner and his wife both came to the US through line drawing, and it took many years of waiting to get their green cards after being granted amnesty.
