China is a great country with a long history. With the passage of over 5000 years, Chinese gradually have developed their own characteristics.
When it comes to the characteristics of Chinese people, we can’t skip one of the greatest educators and philosophers, Confucius. He put forward the idea that people should be merciful, tolerant, and humble. The thought of Confucius has had a great impact on Chinese people.
The Chinese put much importance on personal relationships. They pay attention to the skills of speaking, try to make others feel at home, and they enjoy a congenial atmosphere. However, when there is a conflict between groups, usually Chinese in their respective groups will only strive for their own group, which makes the whole divided. And members in one group will be really nice to each other.
There are some differences between Chinese and Americans. Often, Chinese tend to be modest, while Americans tend to be more straightforward. And in China, things can be shared among close people, but in America, privacy is so important that even the closest friends like to keep a slight distance.
