1. Close feeling
When quinlan geneen asked: "why did xu datong admitted for scrapping the son". To understand his wife replied, "because he's Chinese." A simple sentence has revealed the essence of the problem. In Chinese mind, "home" has the irreplaceable important position, the family is the most basic unit of the Chinese culture development and carrier. Wherever Chinese people will show a kind of hard to give up the family, even sacrifice their own interests. Influenced by Confucian ethics, children filial piety, the Chinese people take it for granted. Xu datong no blame grandpa because of scrapping events, but also managed to outwit him. When grandpa knew her grandson scrapping caused trouble yourself, find datong boss quinlan, alone with sign language and explain the picture is oneself to Dennis scrapping, all this is in order to protect their loved ones. And American culture advocating equality and freedom, they advocate regardless of wealth and social status of everyone respect yourself, don't allow infringed upon their own interests, but also respect the legitimate rights and interests of others. Chinese on the expression of love is deep, subtle, but that doesn't mean that Chinese people you don't love their parents or children. When Dennis and quinlan's son Paul fight because of playing video games, and refused to apologize, xu datong is playing in front of quinlan son slap. Also explained that this is in order to give quinlan face, which makes quinlan was very confused. Americans do not understand this slap on his son's body, but pain in the heart of his father. While americans respect facts, and emphasizes the equality, pay more attention to let the child solving problems by themselves, they think spanking children and children education is completely different, beat and scold the child is child abuse.
2. The friendly affection
The Chinese concept of dating is also influenced by Confucianism. Confucius said: "your word and a friend." "Letter" can be interpreted as the faithful here, the good faith. This remark reflected the Chinese friend view, namely the "letter" is the basis of the interaction between friends. Chinese society is relatively stable, people are reluctant to contact with strangers and exchanges, and pay attention to the longer, the better. When deciding whether or not to xu datong to court hearing, xu datong invited quinlan to do his own defence lawyer, although he seems to repeat himself a intellectual property lawyers, and asked xu datong find a counterpart's lawyer, but xu datong insisted that please quinlan, because quinlan was his good friend, he know your love for son, xu datong very trust him, and gave quinlan claim son this matter please. Quinlan was unexpectedly at the hearing that xu datong really played his own son, it is more make the children's welfare homes that xu datong child abuse. Therefore, xu datong in anger to resign, and tell the way different, don't lust for!" Xu datong think quinlan sells his. China has the sentence is called "a friend in need is a friend indeed", should "do anything" for his friends. However, americans work in dating on the weight of the order is: the method, principle and mood. That is to say, to speak, the law is reasonable, the last is brutal that contrary to Chinese friends view before and after.
3. The love feeling
Through the ages, the love is the human society an enduring topic. Chinese on the expression of love is often deep and exquisite, xu datong and his wife's love. Scrapping after the incident, the wife has pain, but firmly in her husband's side. In order to let Dennis home, she also want to tell the truth. But the perspective-taking once, for the sake of her husband's feelings, to her husband's filial piety, she and her husband together to outwit the grandpa. In order to let Dennis and his mother together, datong moved to rental housing to live. Geneen secretly go to scrape by her husband, do is pick up datong the room first. This seemingly ordinary move reflects the geneen's love for her husband. At the beginning of the stop drinking, don't take care of her husband's performance, too? When two people drunk, when geneen said he is "bitch", it showed extremely excited, datong stop his wife to say so. In datong mind, his wife is pure perfect anyway. Americans love is the expression often directly, in the face of lovers make love in front of family is common.
