B
China is a nation of etiquette. Chinese people are among the most hospitable people in the world. If foreigners visit a Chinese family, they would be surprised at the warmth that they would receive as guests.
When you visit a Chinese family, the host usually makes tea for you. Then he will serve you snacks like biscuits or candy. Someone in the family will also talk with you, never letting you feel lonely.
At the same time, other family members will prepare a meal for you. Chinese people treat their guests to a big meal. They always prepare more food than the guests can eat. At table, the guests must be the first to eat. Perhaps one of the things that surprise a Western guest most is that some Chinese hosts like to put food on visitors' plates, which won't happen at Western tables. The Chinese families go out of their way to make you feel at home. As you finish eating, the host usually says, "It seems that you didn't eat much. Please have more." Although you tell them you are full, they still put more food in your bowl.
Being warm and hospitable has long been an important part of Chinese culture and tradition. As Confucius said thousands of years ago, "To meet friends from afar, how happy we are!"
