What does it mean to be Chinese? According to a survey, more than 40% of Chinese people believe that Chinese love their country and their families. The survey also shows about one third of the foreign people describe the Chinese as hard-working and creative(有创造力的)people.
In China, plenty of people, including scientists and workers, always work day and night for the development of China. While patriotism(爱国主义)is the spirit that bonds(联系)the nation together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture, “My Chinese friends get married and have babies, and they think about their family first when they choose a job or give up one,” said Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher in a school in Beijing.
Besides, the characters(性格)of being hard-working and creative also comes to light. Sheryl Wang, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University provided a good example of how hard-working Chinese people are. “Many Chinese don’t stop working even on weekends. It seems those men never need to rest,” A foreign university teacher has found Chinese students in the lab could always come up with new ideas. “I’m really surprised,” he said.
Over the past 70 years, China has developed rapidly to become one of the most important countries in the world. During the process, everyone has got a clear understanding of Chinese traits(特征).
