How to Greet and Address People in China
Nowadays, many foreigners come to China and even visit some families. Thus, how to greet and address people in China becomes a big question. Usually, you should address those who are of the same age or position as you by Mister or Miss, or their names. While you should bow to the older or persons who are in higher position, and your address should change to Uncle, Aunt, or their titles. At the same time, it is very impolite to address them just by their names and you mustn’t do that. You can chat with them about their hometown, family, weather, health or entertainment. Maybe people believe that salary is not a secret for Chinese, which is exaggerated by some reports. You had better not ask about salary if you meet Chinese at the first time.
