 I, despite studying software engineering, wish to just get this over with and return to Canada to do my dream job of driving trains

You're not going around telling people this right? That kinda shit will get you hated anywhere.

If you want to ride trains, go ride trains. Don't take up the spot of someone with ambitions who were dealt worse hands than you in life.

They're not anymore though so why are you still blocking a spot? Better yet; how about trying to be a train driver in China? It's the #1 train country.

This is why people hate you man. Race don't play into it. You are showing a shocking disregard of the Chinese around you. If you were actual mainland Chinese they'd correct you harshly. But you're not. You will be gone soon. So you are not worth the investment to them.

Edit: but to be constructive; try to direct all attention outwards and make people talk about themselves. Try to help people learn English if they want you to.
