Expection
Western people believe "God helps those who help themselves" Chinese people more likely to help each other in spirit and material.

A friend in China is someone who offers help without waiting to be asked.There are few limits to what you can expect from a friend.You can feel free to tell your feiend what he or she can or should do or help or please you.

personal problems may not survive life changes such as moving to another city,graduation from a university or marriage.If the people don't see each other regularly,the friendship is likely to die.
In west ,we can know that pragmatism (实用主 义) is their special belief from "It's not important what you know ,but who you know",which they always said for looking for a job .That means they want to expand their network for better development .
”Don't be dismayed at goodbyes.A farewell is necessary before you can meet again.And meeting again after moments or lifetimes,is certain for those who are friends." (不要为离别而沮丧，这次的离 别对于下次的重逢不可或缺。 在些许片刻或一生的时间后， 对于朋友而言，重逢是必然 的。）
