Trip to China, Which China?

I’m going to visit China for a month in Aug. I do want to post my trip experience here and share it with friends. One thing that I’m sure: this is not the China that I knew! Which China? It is a China that I need to re-define, re-look at, and re-understand!

One thing that I can’t decide: should I write in English or in Chinese?

So, I’ll just follow the flow - let my brain and present feeling to decide which language the post will be written.

Here is the first pre-trip conversation that’s related to my travel and it is in Chinese

今天晚上和一个朋友吃饭。他在美国呆了许多年，去年回国创业。这次回到湾区办事情。能在我回国前见个面真的是很好！他给了我些很中听的建议，我总结为 “我是骗子”：

1，不要以为你还是中国人，你已经不是中国人了；中国人都是犹太人

2，把你自己想成是骗子(总要站在对方的立场上考虑问题）。大家都假设对方（或者自己对于对方来说）是骗子；然后慢慢通过了解，通过合作才取得一步步地信任

3，多听，多了解，抱着虚心学习的态度

4，做什么都行，只要闷着头做，都能做出来

最后他又说，“没问题，你前途无限”。我听了大笑。有这样一个朋友真是不错！到了上海争取再和他吃顿饭。哈哈！
