Or Doing nothing!<\/p>\n<p>  Actually it has many answers. Sometimes the asker does not care the others&rsquo; answer, he just let the other side know that &ldquo;I am caring for you&rdquo;, then the other one will give a fuzzy answer such as &ldquo;xi\u0101 m&aacute;n\u0261&rdquo; , &ldquo;m&eacute;i m&aacute;n\u0261 sh&eacute;n me&rdquo; and then each go his way.

The former seems more polite. Then one will calculate the appropriate age according to the sequence of the twelve symbolic animals. For example, a woman around the thirties who is born in the year of Dragon is 30, then it can be calculated that another one with similar age who is born in the year of Mouse is 35. In most cases this question will not be declined.<\/p>\n<p>  A:&quot;\u5f85\u9047\u600e\u4e48\u6837\uff1f&quot; (d&agrave;i y&ugrave; z\u011bn me y&agrave;ng \uff1f)<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How a<em><\/em>bout your income?<br \/>  B:&quot;\u8fd8\u884c\u5427\uff01&quot; (h&aacute;i x&iacute;ng ba \uff01)<br \/>  &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Just so so.<\/p>\n<p>  Don&rsquo;t think that there is no privacy in China. In urban cities the question had become an blunt one. Usually we don&rsquo;t ask the question, sometimes among close friends. The question &ldquo;d&agrave;i y&ugrave; z\u011bn me y&agrave;ng&rdquo; seems a little tactful than the one &ldquo;How much is your do you earn each month&rdquo;, but there are still many people who are not willing to talk more a<em><\/em>bout it and just respo<em><\/em>nse h&aacute;i x&iacute;ng ba \uff01<br type=\"_moz\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"chine-tie-zi-nei-rong-zhi-hou\" id=\"chine-4049099058\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1889418300638825\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1889418300638825\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"7273022922\" \ndata-ad-layout-key=\"-gw-3+1f-3d+2z\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A:&ldquo;\u6700\u8fd1\u5fd9\u4ec0\u4e48\u5462\uff1f&rdquo;(zu&igrave; j&igrave;n m&aacute;ng sh&eacute;n me ne?) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; What are you busy with recently?
