• Dear Terry, • How is it going? I am more than delighted to be informed that you have been invited to be a guest in a Chinese family. First of all, it’s essential to make an appointed time convenient for both of you in advance. Once confirming the exact time, you’d better be punctual for the visit. Nevertheless, a few minutes early or late don’t mean disrespect to the host family or bring about inconvenience. • Usually, when we pay a visit, we may feel the need to choose a gift for it. As for the choices of gifts, it depends. In view of the fact that you are a foreigner, it’s advisable to choose a gift representing your own culture. Besides, if the host family is one with seniors or kids, it’s also reasonable to bring some toys and candies or health-care products to show your thoughtfulness and care. Do remember to cross out some gifts from your list, like pears, a clock, and white-colored flowers, which are considered unlucky in Chinese culture. • It’s universally acknowledged that we Chinese attach great importance to etiquettes, of which table manners are an indispensable part. For instance, you are supposed to use chopsticks instead of knives and forks. Moreover, it’s discourteous to stick chopsticks into staple food or make noticeable sound while chewing. It would be great if you pick up the bowl to eat and let the old start eating first. All in all, you’d better bear in mind that do as Chinese do at dinner time. May you have a happy experience of being a guest. • Yours sincerely, • Li Hua

Dear Terry, Knowing that you have been invited to be a guest in a Chinese family, I am more than pleased to wish you a pleasant visit. Well, there are some tips you may as well attend to. First of all, be sure to arrive at the host family at the appointed time, otherwise it will be regarded as disrespectful for punctuality is a virtue in our culture. Admittedly, gift-giving applies to any culture, and China is no exception. It’s feasible to choose whatever is practical and exquisite but not offensive or too expensive. It’s taboo to put into your list some items, considered as ill luck in Chinese, such as umbrella, clock, or gifts wrapped in black or white. To be honest, a bar of cigarettes or a bottle of wine is always a safe choice, never making you embarrassed on this occasion. Eating, as an important aspect of Chinese culture, is an occasion for people to honor guests and socialize. In china, don’t be surprised when the host pick up delicacy into your bowl for it is a long-standing tradition and act of courtesy. What you are required to do is eat it with a smile. It’s considered as impolite to tap the bowls with chopsticks or point your chopsticks towards others. It couldn’t be better if you could sing high praise for the cooking skills while eating. Proper table manners are often viewed as an indication of refined status. Never will you go wrong if you follow the principle that a guest must do as his host does. Just relax yourself and enjoy your visit! Yours sincerely, Li Hua
• Dear Terry, • In reply to your enquiries about the details of your first visit to a Chinese family, I am glad to share with you some of my tips, hoping them of help to you. Firstly, you are supposed to be on time for your visit, which is deemed to be respectful and considerate for the host family. • As has been mentioned in your letter, you are being troubled by what gift is suitable for your visit. Just as an old Chinese proverb indicates, it’s not the gift that counts, but the thought behind it. For a first-time visit, you may as well choose a small but exquisite gift, with cultural features of your native land or one that is not expensive but practical. • When dinner time is coming, please do just as Chinese do. Walk to your seat at the table via the left with the guidance of the host. It would be great if you compliment the hostess on her cooking skill. When you finish dining, lay down the chopsticks on the right and wait until all the diners have finished. Only by acquainting yourself with the details can you be regarded as a kind guest. I wish you would have a pleasant experience in your visit. • Yours sincerely, • Li Hua
