Ask any question about China

in #life7 years ago (edited)

I know that there are a lot of steemians are non-Asians, and many you guys are curious about China, but unfortunately, most of the information about China pass to you is secondhand and with prejudice. Thanks for Steemit providing me a platform to communicate with the people all around world. Chinese buddy are welcomed to correct my subjective and one-sided answers.

I’d like to introduce myself in the first place. 29 years old and now is doing a IT job, living in the middle of China the city of Chengdu which is famous for Panda you might heard about it before.

OK, now I will ask some question to myself which I guess you guys might interested in.
I have to clarify again that I, as a individual person, am not possible to have the knowledge of everything about China. But I will try my best to find the closest answers.

Q: How do Chinese hold the view of Americans?

A: Old people like around 50, they are confused, because when they were young, the Country media always told and hinted them that Americans are evil and devil, greedy, and USA is the worst country in the world without any doubt. On the contrary, nowadays, the reality is that lots of rich man immigrate to USA and they were told America is a good country, the money is easy to make if work hard. Any girl married an American will make the family proud. Anyone has the experience of visiting America will take it as a important talking-resource when chat . The evil USA and the good USA they now heard are totally different, they confused!
Yong people like around 25. They are simplify know it that USA is a good country, but some of them know which side is good and some of them are not. But one funny thing is that some of them do not admit that They think it is good because of the patriotism.
The media is trying to hint that America is not good as China, they search evidences and publish ,but most of them are jokes and were commented by sarcasm. For example, nowadays, people always complain that the house price is unaffordable and food material is expensive. The media made a list including the house price and lots of food price comparing with Americans’.
Of course, the conclusion is that America price is much higher than China’s, what they want to hinted us is that you are living in a country with happy and America is not this good as you think. Let’s see what people commented under this so called ‘news’, ‘ idiots, you ignore one vital fact that the income difference between two countries’;’Aha, I know that The USA is in hard times, please send me to rescue them’; ‘fuck me, I am soooo happy to live in China, Sooo happy! By the way, The USA need any more person? ’.

Q: Is Chinese people eat dogs?
A: This might be one of the most stereotype of Chinese. The answer is yes but not everyone, estimate 20% tried to eat, 10% 2-3 years one time only, 2% eat regularly.

Q:Which car brand Chinese like most?
A:The most well-known car brand are BMW and Bens, which strongly indicate that you are rich, but young people also think that you do not have taste at the some time.
The second popular brand are Toyota and Volkswagen, which is affordable and good quality.
Third popular are Chinese brand, the only reason to make them to purchase a Chinese car is the cheap price and high config. People know that the quality is not OK, but they just can not refuse the attraction!

Q:Give Some introduction of the education in China.
A:6 years of primary school and 3 years of middle school are free of charge. 3 years of high school.
4/3 years of university/colleague.
Chinese Students are in miserable life definitely. Every parents are afraid of their kid been dropped behind. Thus, when the weekend and summer/winter vacation comes, no matter which period the kid is in school, they send them to go to have some extra lessons and have little time to hang out. When I was in high school I studied 14 hours each day except for half day vacation a week, but fortunately, summer/winter vacation will be free of study. Their life is much more tough than mine.

Q: Is online payment popular in China?
A: Yes, Very Popular! In cities, almost 80% small payment are made by online payment through Alipay or Wechat-pay , each of them has 50 percent market share, due to it’s convenience , taking out the phone scanning the QR inputting the number & password. I think Chinese people are very welcome and easy embrace new and useful technology. One example is that it only cost one year, Sharing-bikes become popular and available everywhere. Sharing-Bikes is the bike provided by company and parked beside street, the only thing people have to do is to scan the QR code, the lock open automatically and ride it, that's it . The Key is People accept it!

Q: Does every Chinese play Kong Fu/martial arts?
A: This might be the oldest stereotype. No! most of us is ordinary people like you has a balloon belly and eat fast food but knows nothing about kongfu. Only few people play kongfu like who’s family pass on the kongfu from gen to gen, the monk in shaolin temple, the sports man, the movie actor.

OK, this is the QA! I don't know you like it or not, if not , please ask your prefer Questions about anything like political, culture, language, music, movie, religion.

Thanks for your time to read my article again.

Cool share. If I have any questions I'll sure to ask you. Did you ever try dog?

Yes, I tried once or twice I can not remember, because i was very young like 7-10 years old that time, it was not yami but a little bit disgusting. now i don't do it. The reason why they eat dog is that they believe that dog's meat could keep them worm in the winter which i have no idea where this theory comes from.

Cool. Thanks for the answer and welcome to Steem. Congrats on your 1st post. I followed you, so I will be checking in from time to time. Take care.
