Just FYI, said “little village” have 85 million people, more than twice the population of the most populous state in the U.S. (california), which only have 39 million. The same village also have higher population than the entirety of Germany (thrid populous country in Europe with 84 million people, only behind Russia and Turkey)
Different part of China have drastically different food culture. In general the south east or specifically Jiangsu uses less seasoning than many other region of China.
I am from Chongqing, a region famous for inventing spicy hot pot and using heavy seasoning. Yet, when I grow up, plain fried rice is the norm in Chongqing (along with other heavily seasoned dishes): just egg, lard, rice, salt, and msg, even scallion and white pepper is optional. There is definitely no garlic, chilli oil, and soy sauce in there.
this community is c/cooking not c/masterchef. OP’s cooking is not perfect, so is most people in this world, and that is okay. There is no need to be mad about it.
All I am trying to say is that 1) different region have different interpretation of the same food, and different people prefer different versions 2) even if OP don’t have great cooking, there is no need to be hyper critical about it.
OP is feeding themself, and generous share their food image here for free.
I hope we can all agree fried rice is not the thing that is worth our anger now (plenty of other things in the world are). Thus, I hope we can stop this argument here, and move on to more important things in our life

Sounds like you just have a grudge against South Eastern Chinese food.
You must be very fun to talk to.

Maybe a bit more context would help:
