As you know , people usually shake hands when they meet for the first time . In western countries , people sometimes give a kiss on the cheek or a hug to their friends . In some Asian countries ,just like Japan and Korea ,they usually bow slightly to greet to each other . But in China ,Greeting is a little different from other countries .
Most of Chinese people is really shy ,actually they are traditional .Ordinary Chinese people nearly not shake hands with each other ,they are only say "hello" , "hi" or call their friend's name .Of cause ,give a kiss on the cheek to their friends or their family bascially would not happen in public places . With the change of time , some people will kiss their girl friend or boy friend ,but this is still rare, most of time they usually will give a hug . Most Chinese people accept the traditional childhood education ,in their view ,greeting with a kiss is so open and it will make them feel really shy . The greeting method of Chinese people just call each other nicknames , it is a really common call ,but they can warm the hearts of everyone . Even thogh it is long time no see , an intimate nickname will let them feel they are only separated for a while . The expressing way of Chinese mostly is very veiled , i think this is Chinese people lovely places . Do you think so ? Maybe you have different ideas .
I'm very proud of i'm a Chinese , and hoping some of traditional would not change as time goes on .
