Things People Who Are Chinese Wish You Knew
If this is part of your life story, please share your insights! What would you like the rest of us to learn? What should we know about people in this community? How would you like people to interact with you? Should people ask questions? What’s the best way for people to learn about this? Do you have any resources (books, movies, YT videos, etc) that will give us greater understanding and empathy and kindness toward people who experience the same things you do?
If you’re not on this journey, we welcome you to listen, learn, and ask respectful, good-faith questions! Open-ended questions are highly encouraged, as they give people the space to share their unique experiences in their own words. While this is a safe space to learn about things you’ve never experienced, please remember to be sensitive, and avoid sharing harmful stereotypes or debating someone's lived reality. If you have a question, ask it with empathy. If someone gently corrects you, please be open to learning. Let's have a gentle, fun, friendly conversation where we support one another, because it takes all sorts to make a world!

oh wow!! i was not expecting to see this pop up on my screen when i logged in, sooo appreciate the chance to say a few things as a chinese! well chinese are a resilient and practical bunch, we've gone through a lot of changes through out the years, and you may see chinese more goal orientated and kinda straight forwards, but we're chill most of the time.
Sometimes we tend to be sensitive about stuff and have a wobbly self-esteem, (because of all of the people in our country we are kinda pushed always to be better and brighter) so we might seem closed off and a bit careful tredding, (since english isn't our first language most will be a bit shy) but once we connect we can be passionate like all fire!
aside from that we're just quite similar, we love silly jokes, have fun memes and trends just like all countries around the world :)
I totally agree with the fun and firey part😜.I have two friends from kashghar,xinjiang.And they are my most fun foreign friends👻
