1. We have all heard that heaven rewards the Chinese family with the birth of a boy and taunts her by sending her a girl. This attitude may still be alive in some provinces, but in large cities, the sex of the child is not so dramatic. Nevertheless, patriarchy has a strong influence in China: the older generation is still inclined to see a woman as a housewife and a wife, and many fathers are prejudiced by the desire of modern daughters to get higher education (God forbid even abroad) and actively build a career .
2. Chinese men love to take care of themselves and do not hide it. Again, this applies primarily to the younger generation. Guys willingly use all kinds of perfumes, do trendy styling and haircuts, dye their hair and carefully think through their wardrobe. There is an opinion that the Chinese have borrowed from the growing desire for "male aesthetics" from South Korea, known for its cult of beauty. The difference between the Chinese of the old and the new generation is sometimes striking: mature men rarely bother with the choice of clothes, not to mention the rest of the details of the men's restroom.
3. What is the reason for such drastic changes in the appearance of the Chinese? It's simple: appearance is the first thing that claims to be your well-being, and high income is the true Chinese blue dream. And in fact, this is what unites Chinese fathers and children. Unless, under the influence of European culture, young people tend to have a prominent figure, and a mature Chinese man will never hesitate to flaunt his solid tummy: let everyone around know that he eats well and can afford to get fat.
4. The long nail on the Chinese little finger often causes bewilderment among Europeans, but it is extremely transparent for its compatriots: this is another way to show others that you are not the person who is used to earning a living by hard physical labor. No, no, no, his everyday life is comfortable, he knows his worth and intelligence in general - this is his main working tool.
5. The obscene tricks of all non-Chinese people are condescending and maybe even a little down: "Western" behavior, what to take from him. By the way, the deep neckline here is considered a much greater manifestation of debauchery than a short skirt. Just like bright makeup. Chinese women themselves do not paint at all or use a minimum of makeup.
6. Raised Western people or not, they are, without a doubt, very beautiful. Because they are fair-skinned and big-eyed. Nationality does not matter, the main thing is that you have a clear “European” appearance, which means, according to the Chinese, you could easily show off on the cover of some fashion magazine.
7. It can be difficult for a Westerner to find himself in China to keep his FWP within reason. And the thing is not only that you are considered to be a handsome man. The inhabitants of the Celestial Empire are, in principle, very generous with compliments: for example, if your vocabulary is limited to the carefully pronounced “Nihao!” (“Hello!”), They will certainly tell you that you have chic Chinese. And you are stylishly dressed. And this hairstyle suits you very well.
8. For black nations, the Chinese have their own terminology. If you speak the local language, do not be surprised to hear the expression "coffee people." True, speaking of his dark-skinned acquaintance, think he is a coffee man or a chocolate man anyway.
9. The Chinese love to drink and, perhaps, even know how. For the most part, preference is given to beer, which for any occasion is bought immediately in boxes. By the way, alcohol and cigarettes here are freely sold even to teenagers. At the same time, you will hardly find a drinker or a smoking child here: it seems as though it does not occur to local minor youth to arrange drunken revels and take advantage of such concessions to the law.
10. Continuing the previous paragraph: be mentally prepared for the fact that you can easily meet a child of any age in a bar. No, of course, he did not come to let off steam after the check-up control in mathematics. It's just that his parents are gathering here today with relatives or friends. And yes, again: Chinese children show no interest in alcohol.
