I used to hang out with my foreign friends in coffee bars or somewhere else we liked to have a gathering. We talked about anything we were interested in and we sometimes made funny conclusions. I, somehow, believe that some of the conclusions are so right that even somebody from authorities could not deny them!
Having been an English teacher in China for three years, a Canadian friend of mine concluded that the Chinese people are not happy, at least they don't look like they are. She had her reasons and I took them as reasonable ones. She walked to office and home every day. And she liked to observe the people passing by her. She found out that most of the passer-bys did not look happy. Even though some people said "Hi" to her, she only took that as kind of tease, because of the way they speaking it.
She said the Chinese people were either not friendly or too friendly to her. She made some examples to show that she was right. I had a small rebate against her and later on I gave it up. I knew some of her comments on our Chinese people are right. She also had lots of misunderstandings, which I took that as a natural thing. Most of her opinions still make sense now!
The other thing happened to her is one day she was taking shower inside a publish bathroom, when a mid-age women went straightly and directly to her, touching her breasts and holding them for a second without noticing her and said: What big breasts! She told me she was almost scared the shits out of her. She said: What the f*ck are you doing to the women, but she just smiled and stepped away. My Canadian friend took it as a great insult, and she never goes to that bathroom again!
Except saying that is an unexceptional case in China, I could say nothing, cause I knew some people would do that in China. After all, we do have less-educated or none-educated people in our country.
Give your comments to me if you have encountered or been told anything similar to this case.
