問題詳情

第二篇：The first time I lived in China, I was amazed to see so many different Chinese faces; I never knew that there couldbe such a diversity of faces in a population that seemed so alike. I was so surprised to see such a difference. The ironicpart of all this was that I was one of those faces. You see, I am an overseas Chinese.I had come to China to teach as a foreign teacher at a university in Guangzhou. It seemed my lifelong dream ofcoming back to my “motherland” was being fulfilled. Yet I remembered that sooner or later I would have to open mymouth and my secret identity would be discovered.My first experience of being questioned as to why I did not know any Chinese was when I went to get my bikefixed. “What?” said the bike repairman, “You are Chinese, so you should know how to speak Chinese.” I tried toexplain in my limited Chinese (Cantonese) that in America, everyone speaks English and that unless you are fortunateenough to go to Chinese school, you speak only English. Somehow, I was unable to convince the bike repairman that Ihonestly wanted to be more in tune with my Chinese side but had never had that opportunity up until now.I grew up in the very diverse multicultural mix of Hawaii, which is noted for being a melting pot. Therefore,coming to China was a culture shock for me. However, by the end of my first year in China, not only had I masteredthe language, but I was able to blend in like a native. To my delight, I was able to bargain things down to almost halfthe price, order dishes at restaurants for my American friends, and carry on a normal conversation with anyone on thestreet. I could also spit out bones on the table without worrying it was bad manners or not, and I mastered the fine artof biking around the congested streets without getting hit, and eating almost anything with no questions asked.
