★Chinese differentiate their own people from others clearly. One’s own people include the familiar, relatives and friends or people introduced by each other among them. This circle is called “关系”. You could get issues done easily with “关系”. As Chinese don’t believe in law and rule, with “关系”one would be bonded by favors. This bind could substitute for honest. Chinese regard those without connection with them as alien. There is no trust in treating aliens. This is especially evident in doing business.(refer to part“关系”)

★The pronunciation of “她”{she/her} is the same as that of “他”(he/him). Actually the ancient women were inferior, at that time men could get a wife and numerous concubines. There is a detailed description in the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" directed by Zhang Yimou. The implement of Marriage Law of the republic of china issued by Chinese government in 1950 makes Chinese women get lots of rights which are envied by western feminism. However, Chinese women are not easy. As Chinese’s salary is very low, Chinese women have to make money together with men with taking housework meanwhile. Therefore full time housewife is very rare. In a word, Chinese women are very great.

★Ask for the family name instead of the given name in meeting for the first time. Chinese only use Mr. or Miss in a very formal occasion. If the other is male of the similar age then you could use “兄”，such as wang兄, zhou兄. If the other is older than you then you could use “哥”(elder brother)or 姐”(elder sister). If the other looks like younger than you then you could use “妹”(younger sister),such as zhou 妹,yang妹.

★Basically, there are 2 or 3 Chinese characters in one’s name. The given name follows the family name. Here list the most ten usual Chinese family names. Li is the biggest family name in china. There are over 100 million people with Li. Li Xiao long’s family name is Li. The character in a family name could be single and plural. There are nearly 12 thousand Chinese family names all over the world. You can tell the era when one was born and parents’ wishes from one’s name. Lots of people who were born at the period of the Cultural Revolution are named “爱国”（love one’s nation）,“建军”（build the army）,“向阳”（following chairman Mao）. After Reform and Opening there are lots of people named“峰”（the summit）and“明”（bright）. However, as there are too many Chinese nowadays, parents try their best to make use of uncommon characters to name their children. The problem is that many people do not know the characters in those names.
