Every Chinese strives to be a model worker.

In the eyes of Americans, the Chinese are the most industrious nation, they live frugally, pack their meals, dress in a rustic way, are budget-conscious, and even a little stingy. Unlike Americans, there is no official title of model worker, but they are still proud to have a job. Even a primary school student is proud to buy a set of sneakers with the money he earns from washing cars for his parents. The elderly do not want to be idle after retirement and can still work to supplement their family income. Many companies are still willing to hire them and do not dislike their age. The Puritan complex in the United States is that "the more you work, the more you will get, and God will bless you according to your work." If you look at Sam, the founder of Wal-Mart, you will understand. This type of person has enough patience to start with small details, eventually achieve great things, and then distribute the wealth to the society for sharing, and do not seek to monopolize the inheritance for themselves. The Puritans believed that "if you don't bring it in life, you won't take it with you in death." They come from this society and return to this society. People live only for their own beliefs. This is still the mentality of many Americans. Chinese people like to live in luxury houses very much.

It is true that Chinese people in the United States like to buy and sell real estate very much. They can earn a nice house after changing hands a few times. Even more Chinese people come to the United States with pockets full of cash, and when they take it out, the Americans are shocked. In fact, Americans don’t know that Chinese houses are much more expensive than American ones. Of course, it would seem lavish for Chinese people to exchange Chinese houses for American houses. Americans simply don’t believe that a Beijinger who sells a second-hand house can buy a 400-square-meter mansion in Texas. Even if you only buy 300 square meters, it is much more generous than the average American who only buys a house of less than 200 square meters. Over time, Americans think that all Chinese live in luxury houses. If you don’t live in a luxury house, you are not Chinese. In this way, those who said they would give up their mansions in the United States and return to China to contribute have been exposed.

Chinese people are all good at cooking

Chinese people like to open restaurants wherever they go. Being a chef will not starve to death, this is the Chinese motto. The Chinese people's sense of taste is twice as sensitive as that of Americans. They use special ingredients that Americans can't even imagine to make amazing dishes. There are many special tastes that Americans will never be able to appreciate in their lifetime. Americans like to eat Chinese food and admire Chinese cooking skills, but they do not understand the "foreignization" of Chinese ingredients and think they are for the sake of using local ingredients. In the past, Chinese people who returned home said that local chickens tasted good, but now the local chickens have become American chickens, but the feed has many worrying ingredients. They even eat in American fast food restaurants when they return home.

Chinese people love money more than they love their wives and husbands.

You see so many Chinese people leave their homes and come to the United States to work illegally. Men and women live together, but it is rare to hear of disputes between men and women, because they all stay in harmony and sleep behind closed doors. These people have not had real sex for several years after coming to the United States, and they do not regret it. This is what surprises Americans. Of course, there are also those born in the 1980s and 1990s who live together with men and women in the United States. This is not a typical example.

When the Americans asked, they realized that these people were just trying to earn more US dollars to send home. They missed their wives every night and sent money home to the elderly, wives and children. The Chinese are so great. Or are Chinese people too heartless? How can they not be with their wives and husbands? Can money compensate for these shortcomings in life? Americans really can't understand it.

Chinese people only like to study subjects that make money.

Who says otherwise? Americans also encourage their children to become lawyers and doctors, but by the third year of college Americans have learned to be self-aware and reform their majors when they feel they are not suitable. Only the Chinese must persist to the end. Although these Chinese students work very hard, they still have to endure the degree due to strong pressure and motivation from their parents. They can only pursue their own hobbies after retirement. The Chinese study for fame and wealth, which has been the result of thousands of years of Confucian training. It is precisely because of this that most Chinese people do not like their careers, but only like the vanity that their careers bring. Americans care too much about their own hobbies in life, unless they turn this hobby into their own career, or even start one by themselves when this hobby has not yet formed an industry. Otherwise, how could we have such a rich IT and cultural life in addition to doctors and lawyers today?

Chinese people value friendship and credibility.

It is not easy for Chinese people to come to the United States. They are generally more law-abiding and are known as "trouble-free citizens." Americans talk about the law, while the Chinese talk about love. The former is a friendship between gentlemen, and the latter is a friendship of trust. Therefore, the Chinese cherish trust, while Americans talk about the law in everything, but they may not pay attention to trust. The average credit score of Chinese Americans is very high, while Americans often ruin their credit scores because of poor financial management. Some Chinese lawyers advertise how people can use legal reasons to avoid taxes or receive government benefits, but many Chinese scorn them and are unwilling to use them. The author has had experience in the past. When lending money to Chinese friends, the loan is usually repaid, but there is a higher chance that the loan will never be returned to Americans. Those who dare to borrow money from the United States should say: "I am not your bank."

The relationship between Chinese husband and wife is relatively strong.

As mentioned before, Chinese people love money more than husbands and wives, but Chinese people with or without money are unlikely to get divorced. This is the American impression. In fact, it is popular in China that "if you don't do one thing, you won't stop doing the other thing", and many people are stranded in a relationship between husband and wife in name only. It is very common for wealthy officials to have romantic affairs, and their spouses are not prone to revolt in order to share their privileges. It is not easy for the poor to get married, so of course they would rather endure and make do and keep the marriage together. In fact, the Chinese husband-wife relationship is more practical, and they are more rational and ideologically restrained than Americans. This is considered a good side of Confucian culture. Family is still one of the most important spiritual driving forces for Chinese survival and the foundation of emotional support. It is estimated that nearly half of Americans prefer to regard marriage as some kind of gender partnership, but there are still many Americans who adhere to Puritan teachings and have a strong sense of family values.
