At first I thought perhaps I was a young boy in the Soviet Union in the 1930s.

First hunch is often good. It is the first thing that comes in mind, uncensored (so to speak) by later analysis.

But now I'm sort of getting the vibe that perhaps I was in China.

Is that really a vibe, or is it your analytical mind saying, "No it could not be"?

The Soviet Union was a huge country with a territory expanding from Northern Europe in the West all the way to just across the pond from Alaska in the East. Its population reflected that. While the Russians were the dominant ethnic group and people outside the USSR would refer to the Soviets as "the Russians", many varied ethnic groups existed there, including a large number of Chinese people living in the far Eastern section of the the USSR.

So, it is perfectly conceivable you were a young Chinese boy in the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Now, were you? I don't know, only you can answer that. But it is certainly a possibility you should consider.
