[quote=KSWONG ,34971]This is just my opinion but the saying "to err is human, to forgive divine" does not apply to some folks who were brought up in the "Chinese way". That's why u see a lot of kung fu movies where the hero avenges the death of his father/mother/sifu etc and taking revenge is a noble deed. I am Chinese but English-educated and I have lost a few Taiwanese & mainland Chinese friends on account of some trivial things I said which may have caused them to lose face. There is usually no means of salvaging the relationship. If they choose to forgive u, it means they lack "gu chi" (no backbone and no pride in themselves). Just move on and think twice about what u say next time.[/quote]
