Isn’t it true that relationships, co<\/em>nnections and networking are especially im<\/em>portant in China? Yes, those kind of things are im<\/em>portant anywher of the world. Yet in china they are even more critical if you not o<\/em>nly want to survive but also want to blossom in that society.<\/p>\n

Well, at least you can start with learning the following three high frequency Chinese idioms to get your learning process started on the \u5173\u7cfb (relationships) culture of China:<\/p>\n

\u4eba\u60c5\u4e16\u6545 rén qíng shì gù : worldly wisdom, to know how to deal with the relatio<\/em>nships between people<\/p>\n

\u9762\u9762\u4ff1\u5230 miàn miàn jù dào : Take care of everything; handle every side of it perfectly. It used to describe a very competent person in handling things.
