"How do you understand Chinese perception on human relationships based on your own experience? In what ways does the understanding enable you to start your career in Chinese society?”
As a Chinese, I think I have a good grasp of how Chinese perceive human relationship. I personally feel that Chinese people have a very strong sense of bond. In my own experience I can say that all the relatives I have, normally have a family gathering, the whole purpose being to maintain a good human relationship. Furthermore, unlike other countries where there may only be uncles and aunties, each relative has its own particular reference; this highlights the fact that each relative is unique and separate. Furthermore, in Chinese culture, we learn to have good manners, not only to our relatives but also to people outside the family circle. Most Chinese family would agree that it is a tradition to treat outside members a lot better then family members. This is a gesture of respect and courtesy. However this is not to say that we should treat people outside our family members any different from our own family members, instead we should treat them as well if not better. In my situation, I have a lot of friends in both Hong Kong and Canada, and to me, all I would treat all of these friends as a family member.
