[quote=DONS,606918]The stories here have many things in common.

I am a 73 year old American. I have many Chinese friends. They often look to me for advice. They share what they are thinking and what they want.

Here is what I have observed:

1. The beautiful, well educated girls will seek a husband based on everything except love. They say love will develop.

2. Those working will put earning money ahead of their close friends, family and lovers. If they make an commitment to one of those people, they will break it immediately if the opportunity to make money arises.

3. The ones "in love" can end it in an instant over simple disagreements. Sometimes even if it is not what they want.

4. Those in America insist on keeping their Chinese traditions and values. That is great except when it comes to business dealings in our culture. If they want the benefits of our country, they should adapt to some of our customs. They insist we do that when we are in China.

5. I speak very little Chinese and rely primarily on translation apps. If a comment sounds odd or offensive, I run it through several apps. I use about 5 and find the results are sometimes opposite of what was intended. BE CAREFUL with translation apps.

Learning the cultural differences has been very interesting. I love my Chinese friends and China is a beautiful country with a rich history.

Some of the differences are fascinating, some I can not respect or understand. I guess that polarity keeps the earth spinning. [mood3][/quote]
