Mencius said: "The most important thing for people to know each other is to know each other, and the most important thing for people to know each other is to know their hearts." w88 slot encounter with China comes from5Years ago. That year, I was studying abroad in the Czech Republic and met a Chinese girl for the first time in w88 slot life. As we all know, in Western countries, whether we are strangers or acquaintances, when we meet, we will kiss each other on the cheek to show politeness. So, I approached her as a matter of course, and when I was about to kiss her, she was so frightened that she ran away screaming. And that scene is deeply etched in w88 slot mind.
I lowered w88 slot head and went straight back to the dormitory, turned on the computer and typed in "How do Chinese people say hello"? As expected, it was very different from us. w88 slot interest in China became more and more intense, and I began to search for Chinese history and writing.
A hundred thousand "whys" linger in w88 slot mind. Maybe it's interest, maybe it's yearning. China, I really want to see you and feel the real you. I kept looking for opportunities until last year, when I finally realized w88 slot dream and came to Beijing to study abroad.
As soon as I arrived in Beijing, I couldn’t wait to integrate into the local society. I walked through alleys, climbed the stone steps of the Great Wall, queued up to taste grilled cold noodles, played shuttlecock, skipped rope and did Tai Chi with the aunts in the square... I felt the atmosphere of Beijing bit by bit. Gradually, I learned to "do as the Romans do."
One fine day, I met a Chinese girl. This time, instead of trying to kiss her cheek, I shook her hand. However, I still felt that she was deliberately keeping a distance from me and did not open up to me to share her story. I can't help feeling: Chinese people seem a bit difficult to approach. However, the next day, I unfortunately lost w88 slot mobile phone. When I sadly told her about this, she canceled all arrangements without saying a word and stayed with me all day just to help me buy a mobile phone. She also helped me solve many other problems. Even though we had known each other for a short time, she treated me with sincerity, and a warm current surged in w88 slot heart. I asked myself: If I were a Spaniard, could I do this? Would you enthusiastically help someone with whom you don’t have a close relationship? Probably not.
Not long after, another Chinese friend and I had a small friction due to cultural conflict, and we were a little unhappy with each other. When we ate together, he remained silent, but from time to time he would quickly put w88 slot favorite dishes into w88 slot bowl, and then continue to eat in silence. I also gave him a piece of meat. This was the first time in w88 slot life that I put vegetables in someone else's bowl. For this reason, I asked myself again: If we were Spanish, could we do this? Do you still care about the other person when you are angry? Probably not.
I finally understand a Chinese proverb: "The mouth of the knife is like the mouth of a bean curd, but the heart of the bean curd". Perhaps it aptly describes the character of most Chinese people. We Europeans have always valued a smile, a hug, and showing enthusiasm. But Chinese people are full of passion in their hearts, as soft and warm as tofu, but on the surface they are as plain as water.
I think I am beginning to understand the real China - although it seems inaccessible on the surface, it is full of enthusiasm on the inside. Looking back now, I want to thank the Chinese girl who escaped when I was in the Czech Republic. Because of her, I was able to cross the border and meet, get to know, and get to know China!
