Xinjiang immigrant relocation

Since the reform and opening up, ordinary people in China have paid more and more attention to overseas affairs, especially foreigners. Due to historical reasons and strong cultural differences, people in China are often dominated by Americans, so in the streets and alleys of China, some people talk about the United States as "experts" and have "reasons" to comment on the character of Americans: "Although the United States is the richest country in the world, Americans are actually the most stingy people in the world. What father goes to his son's house for dinner, pays after dinner, and pays for his son's room; There is no such thing as a treat between friends, and everyone pays for every meal; Even couples pay their own way, which is really inhuman. " There are different views on how Americans treat people. After listening to these comments, I feel very interesting. China people really care about the world. But their comments are very different from the Americans I know, because I have many American friends from all walks of life. They invited me to dinner in China and the United States, and I haven't paid since I was invited by them. They all take the initiative to pay the bill. I have also been to many American families, and I am not as heartless as we thought. Undeniably, in terms of friendship, Americans and China people are very different. They don't seem to attach so much importance to friendship as China people. First of all, because the United States is a "country of immigrants", people from all over the world gather together, and their ancestors have no friendship, which will not affect the friendship of future generations. Strangeness is hard to eliminate for a while, which is one of the reasons why feelings are not deep. Second, the United States is an active country. Americans have to move at least 15 times in their lives. The "relocation" mentioned here is not a long-distance relocation from Dongcheng District to Xicheng District in Beijing, but from Beijing to Shanghai and from Shanghai to Xinjiang. Millions of Americans are moving. American college graduates go back to their hometown, but they can't find middle school students anyway. They all moved away. I remember a media introduction that former US President George H.W. Bush moved 28 times in 40 years after his marriage. China readers don't understand this, because they are still influenced by the traditional concept of "a cow on 30 acres of land, and the wife and children are hot on the kang". How can you have deep feelings for a person who loves to move and doesn't live in one place for a long time? Looking at the situation in the United States, as far as I know and experience, there are the following situations: 1, stating "treat", whoever asks for it pays. Generally speaking, when you invite a few friends, someone declares "treat", which means someone treats you. Whoever wants to treat will take the initiative to pay the bill, so you don't have to pay for it as a guest, because the host has already explained it in advance. 2, friends have dinner and eat separately. Sometimes Americans like to be lively and willing to have dinner together. It is also claimed that he invited you for this bottle of beer, and then he paid for it on behalf of everyone. In short, this form is basically going Dutch, and now domestic college students are also adopting it, but each pays a share of money in advance, which is called "collecting money". 3, celebrity banquets, people pay the bill, sometimes in the United States, some celebrity banquets, and even state banquets have such a situation, that is, you are a social celebrity, you can be invited to the banquet, but you must pay for your own ticket to attend the banquet. The US government holds state banquets for foreign dignitaries, and the government can stipulate that domestic and foreign dignitaries who attend the top 20 tables can be invited free of charge. The guests at the last 40 tables are also invited and guests, but they must pay their own money, in order to reduce the burden on taxpayers. It is an honor to be invited to the last 40 tables, so I am willing to spend some money to buy tickets. 4, family banquets, don't forget to give gifts to American families, especially between relatives and friends, often invite each other to dinner. But compared with China, they are more serious about this kind of thing, unlike in China, where guests are invited by phone or even uninvited. Americans usually send out invitations 10 days before a dinner party. General guests should give a clear answer after receiving the invitation so that the host can get ready. Not only that, but after attending the banquet, you must also write a letter of thanks. Attend the family dinner: First, don't forget the gift, which can be a bunch of flowers, a bottle of good wine, a box of chocolates, not expensive gifts. (purple/compile)
