A
In the eyes of many foreigners, Chinese are the best hosts (主人) and the worst guests in the
world. They're not really bad guests, but because the guest-host relationship in China is much
different than in some western counties, it appears they are not nice guests. And western guests
sometimes look rude (粗鲁的) in the eyes of Chinese guests.
In China, guests are almost like gods. Whenever I enter a Chinese person's home, there is
always fruit on the table for me, and someone is quick to bring me a cup of tea or water. In the west,
generally the guest is not a god. Acting according to the host's way of doing things is usual behavior
for a guest.
My wife's mother'a very kind elderly Chinese lady, doesn't smoke. When I see some of her
guests smoking in her house, as a non-smoker,I feel unhappy. Usually I want to stop them directly,
but I must realize that in China, to be a good host,she must not do that. In most North America
homes,if you are a guest, and the hosts are not smokers, you should not smoke in their house. At the
very least, you could ask,“Is it OK if I smoke?”But, don't be surprised if they say,“No, you
can't smoke.” In our culture, if you smoke in their home, you are a bad guest, but if they
don't allow you to smoke in their house, they are not a rude host.
Guests in China also have special habits. Some western people may not adapt to these habits
very soon. Thankfully my wife is Chinese, so whenever we visit a Chinese family she tells me to
buy them a gift. However, giving a gift to a host is not always necessary in my country. So, if you
invite international guests to your home, don't be too surprised if they don't bring you a gift.
In China, you probably won't need to change the guest-host relationship very much because you
will probably only be the host, and Chinese are naturally very good hosts. If western hosts invite you
to their house, try not to be too surprised if their style of treating you is not what you have expected.
