Question

【題目】We all know China is a nation with a very long history and ancient culture. Its people are known as the most hospitable people in the world. If you visit a Chinese family, you will be surprised at the warmth that you receive as a guest.

Firstly, you will feel comfortable with their greetings. For example, “Are you busy these days?”, “How are things going on with you?”, “How’s your trip here?” etc. Then they will serve you with tea and snacks. The host, one of the family members, will usually chat with you in order to make you feel important.

At the same time, the hostess(女主人) and other family members will cook a big dinner for you. They always prepare more food than you can eat. During the meal, the guest must be the first one to pick up the food. The host will pick food for the guest, which is impolite in the west. But this is a very Chinese way to show their warmth.

After the meal, they will go on chatting again with tea and snacks. In the end, when you’re about to leave, they will ask you to stay longer again and again. A perfect entertainment(招待) will be over by the whole family seeing you off.

Being warm has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius(孔子) said thousands of years ago: isn’t it also great when friends visit from distant(遙遠的) places?
