……………………………………………………………………………My Cross-culture Communication ExperienceI can’t agree this view more: The need for intercultural communication is as old as humankind. And it is effortless to find that cross-culture communication pervades our daily life here and there, now and then. I truly believe that everyone has his or her unique and unforgettable intercultural communication experience and so do I.Before starting telling my cross-culture communication experience, something about my family background has to be introduced. Having embraced the life of a good boy, I was the obedient child of my relatively conservative family, thoroughly enjoying my freedom and a steady diet of veracity. From the beginning of my childhood memory, my parents made a perfect impression on me. Their relationship is so harmonious that any uncourteous and impolite words are not allowed, and also, they are hardly anger with each other. So they often educated us kids to take them as the example. However, the generation gap between us become extraordinarily apparent and a little chat or talking happened in our daily life. I don’t think they are wrong or their education manner is bad. Normally, every coin has two sides.As the mentioned that cross-culture communication plays an overwhelming role in our daily life. Especially, after I arrive at a new and strange city to begin my college life, I realized that what the really so-called culture diversity is. For example:It was a weekend and I received a call phoned by one of my classmates when I back to the dormitory. She said that something needs my help and hopping I can give her a hand to carry some stuff. As I was wondering what it is, the next door “Lao Wang” (one of my friends and we call him as thi s) told me that it must be the sanitary towel. “How dose it happened?” I was so embraced and confusing, since I have ever been hold the view that sanitary towel is of the privacy for a girl and it is impossible for her to mention it in the face of a boy let alone helping her to carry it. Whereby the courage I gave her my answer, the “no problem”. While I was on the road to meet her, some “why”, “how” still flash into my mind and most openmouthed, several boys appeared in front of mine. They were also invited by the girl and they were discussing how to do it. From their mouth I realized that all the sanitary towels come from a Japanese company and in order to open the Chinese marketing channel, a sales representative is needed and aim to help them to give out all the sanitary towels to the customers freely so that the customers will someday adhere to the product and buy it, so this is the task of the girl. It must be a good news for most of the Chinese for that we often eager to gain petty advantages without any expense. And at this moment the so-called “boycott Japanese goods” was thrown behind us. Facing so many free stuffs some guys can’t help asking: can I pick up one? Someone even joked: anyhow you are going to give out them and we can help you more directly. Generously, the advice was taken by the girl but some questions were asked: who can use it as you are boys? How do you deal with them? And one answered that he would like to give it to his girl friend. The guy said he can give it to his mother. What the worth mentioning is that I was totally astonished by what the latter replied. Because I deem that it must be embarrassing for me to do like that. I really can’t figure out how it was possible. With the thoroughly confusing, I hope someone can make me out of the wonder. And one of the boys gave me the explanation: “Actually, the extraordinary close relationship was foundedwhen I was born. And she is my good friend rather than my mom and some the innocuous talking often happened in our daily communication.” And he took a joke as the example: “when I was born a scar is left on my head. Once upon a time I asked my mom like this, why and how did it left? I guess it must be the reason that you guys have sex when you are pregnant, right?” after a burst of laught er, I expressly understand what the happened. Here again a funny cross-culture communication experience. It was a cold night, when I was having the buffet dinner in a cafeteria, a French girl come to my side and began her dinner. While the eating I realized something is wrong and the girl watch me now and then. To break the awkward atmosphere I smiled to her and ask slightly: “can you speak Chinese?” she answered me: yes. And she pointed my dish and continued: I will never eat pork for I am a Muslim. I finally knew the reason why she fell uncomfortable and gave the glance on me. Since she added: whenever I meet the one who is eating the pork I will feel strange and of the malaise. Suddenly I realized something impolite happened and gave a sorry for this. Relaxedly, she catered me and replied: it ok, it is none of your business, but my personal faith. Happily and funnily, we talked some things about the personal faith and I found that she is very curious and interrogative for that most Chinese have no personal faith. And she believed that every one should have his or her faith about the life the universe. But in fact, what I want to say is that we also have our own belief, our faith.We have to admit and meet the existence of the cross-culture communication. With or without your desire or consent, you are now thrust into contact with countless people who often appear alien, exotic, and perhaps even wondrous. Therefore, it is vital for us to learn some the relevant knowledge concerning the cross-culture communication if you are to be successful in both your social and professional lives.。
