Writing Assignment #2---Option 2

Since I've read From the First Four Minutes, I start to acknowledge the path to communicate with people and the way to be a sociable person. However, not every culture has the same rules for being interacting well with people in the first four minutes. In China, because of the traditional philosophy, people hardly show their emotions quickly and easily. Specifically, for those Chinese who were born before 1990s, they often hide their negative emotions and not to be demonstrative with someone who they lately know about in public. As we know, the famous Chinese action while two people first meeting is shaking hands. After that, they are going to greet each other for about few minutes, which are also called lay it on with a trowel. In other words, it seems just like fake smiles and all kinds of good words. Unless people know each other for a long time, it means that they are getting much closer to the others; people begin to share their happiness and sorrow. Moreover, we can rarely find even a couple kiss in public in China, because this behavior is considered unpleasant by Chinese culture. In fact, a Chinese couple can be very demonstrative with their dear in a foreign country. It is just in case that not to be too open under Chinese environment.
