Part 1: Some people want to know why don't I respond to private

messages. 有些人想知道 为什么我不回复私聊。

I have two reasons: 我有两个理由：

Except for other Americans or my Chinese friends in real life, if I have to spend 30 minutes to an hour helping one person, or spend the same 30 minutes to an hour helping many people, I'll always choose the latter.

除了其他的美国人或者我的现实生活中的中国朋友以外，如果我必须花30分钟到一小时帮助别人，我更愿意这30分钟到一小时同时帮助许多人而不是只帮助一个人，我总是这样选择的。

I just think it's better to correct a public post as opposed to respond to a private message, because, when I correct a public post, everyone can see the answer, but if I respond to a private message, only one person would see the answer.

我只是觉得纠正一个公开的帖子比回复一个私聊要好，因为，当我纠正一个公开的帖子时，每个人都能看到回复，但是如果我回复一个私聊，只有一个人会看到答案。

    Why need reply every one？I don't agree this guy's opinion. courtesy depend on the situation. If in the real life. someone say hi to u. Yup. U need reply. This is courtesy. But online. I don't think so. And I think this guy is impolite. He need learn what is courtesy first.

    这样的道德绑架还真不如强盗，人家好歹也投入了时间劳力承担了风险，而道德绑架者一点投资都没有净想着白拿还特别优越好像是他在教别人做人。

    This kind of moral kidnapping is really not as good as robbers, and people have also invested time and labor to take risks, and the moral kidnappers have not invested at all in thinking that Bai Na is particularly superior as if he is teaching others to be human.

    @大伟作家 Can you please tell me what is western social norms with no more than 5 sentences? If you can't, do not ask me to do that. The only thing I can teach you is being modest and show some tolerance to other culture. People calling you 老师 are educated man. Some of them are much older than me and know what to do in Chinese culture.

    @adam xu In the West, we call people by their first name, no matter their age. The president at my old job was called Mike by everyone. Also, even in China, if you want to be friends with someone, you will call them by their name, not their job title.

    @adam xu I've been trying to learn Chinese for almost 6 years, and I've talked to more than 60 Chinese people, and no one ever called me teacher. Never, because they know my name is David. If you help me with Chinese, can I call you teacher?

    @大伟作家 Friend, I can see you are a well educated man and you must have important business to handle in real life. Thank you for your patience and time. But again, if you really want to learn Chinese language and culture, try to be modest, show respection and never easily judge others and their actions. Thanks again and hope you can get a long way in your language learning journey

    I understand why you don't want to be called your teacher. If people treat you as a teacher. Sounds more like a tool for learning English. But you're not. You are a real person. but from the perspective of most Chinese, we call those experienced people teachers. So this is the way we respect you. In my opinion, we are equal. Language is just a way to communicate with others. You are native English, so you master English. I am proficient in Chinese and we can learn from each other, which does not mean that one person is better than another.

    @zhao In my culture, the rich and the poor man, the boss and the employee, the smart and the dumb are called by the name their mother gave them. Respect is not what the stranger thinks it is. It's what I say it is. Because people who want to be your friend, will never call you teacher and it doesn't matter how much more you know.

    @zhao I've had Chinese friends who were as young as 22 up to 45 and no one has ever called me teacher because they see as a friend. So I get to decide the kind of people I will talk to and I do not want to talk to people who see me as a teacher.

  • zhao 2020.07.07 07:36

    @大伟作家 Yes, I see. There are always cultural differences in communication with people with different cultural backgrounds. So the next time I want to make friends with Westerners, I will pay attention to calling their names. I also hope that you will not be bothered by those who call you a teacher.
