xuechengfeng Posted June 23, 2004 at 11:45 PM Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 at 11:45 PM I'm not sure that really explains what I am getting at. I am talking about the concept of actions taking place which involve one party losing face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xuechengfeng Posted June 24, 2004 at 03:34 AM Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 at 03:34 AM A question I have about face: In this book I'm reading, it says one way of losing face is by dressing down a person or insulting them in front of peers. Then later in the book it says that Westerners may not be accustomed to going to rural areas in China, and being started at glaringly. Do rules of face only apply to the more urban areas? Or are these rural citizens causing one to lose face and ignoring their typical customs? Also how important is the concept of 關係 still? or danwei?

galitonwu Posted June 24, 2004 at 05:31 AM Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 at 05:31 AM Here is the song of Zheng ZHi Hua. Its name is "面子问题"。I think that is a mirror to express the fact in China. 面子问题 为了一点虚荣争得你死我活 一掷千金不皱眉头面不改色 人前人后高高低低比来比去 到头来只是为了 面子问题 I GAVE YOU FACE , YOU DON'T WANNA FACE YOU LOSE YOUR FACE, I TURN MY FACE 我给你脸 你不要脸 你真丢脸 我会翻脸 我抱着BEAUTY 开着PORSCHE 身穿GIANNI VERSACE 你看不过不去 骂我臭屁 压哞你未按怎 我就是有钱 面子问题 宁死不屈 金钱权利 拼命争取 你有问题 我有问题 为了面子 头壳坏去 我家徒四壁 善嘎未死 为到欲普渡我甘愿借钱 你看我不起 什么东西 我杀一猪公嘎你拼生死 YOU GIVE ME FACE, I DON'T WANT YOUR FACE YOU OWN TO BEAT , T TEAR MY FACE 你给我脸 我不赏脸 你欠人扁 我撕破脸 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
