Another one was to realize how "cold" Chinese people are while they greet each other.In my country,every time we meet someone,we would shake hands quite strongly,give hugs and even exchange kisses regardless if we know each other for long time or not.Here in China all those things are not common at all.Sometimes I have to control myself in order to avoid embarrassing Chinese people around me.

Both Mark Twain and Lu Xun were the most well-known writers in the world literature. They were famous for biting style of writing and the way of using humor and irony,which won high praise of public.
