It is the worst thing for a Chinese to lose face. Never insult, embarrass,
35、 shame, yell at or otherwise demean a person.

38、 oneself or ones inner circle. The expression is most often used in the negative, as in buyao keqi, meaning you shouldnt be so kind and polite to me, or youre welcome. Besides, Chinese seldom express what they think directly and they prefer a roundabout way. Neither show their emotions and feelings
39、in public. They rarely greet people with a handshake, though it is very popular among foreigners, and say nothing of embracing or kissing when greeting or saying good-bye. Consequently, it is better not to behave too carefree in public, even though you are well-intentioned. Also, it is advisable to
40、be fairly cautious in political discussions. Do not particularly push yourself forward, or else you are unwelcome. To sum up, do in Rome as Rome does, but you need not worry about these cultural barriers since most Chinese are hospitable and friendly and will not mind your no accomplishment. 【小题 1】
