'Local lingo: Express yourself!' Episode 90: 这是我的荣幸 (zhè shì wǒ de róng xìng)
Language is the road map of a culture.
In this column, we will invite expats to introduce their favorite Chinese words, phrases, idioms, poems and more in a one-minute video. We hope this will serve as a window through which you can better understand Chinese culture, mindset and wit.
For Bill from the US, this is his favorite Chinese phrase. Whether it's with a friend or a stranger, he gets a real kick out of using it. A little kindness, a smile, a word of gratitude–his response has become his normal way of interacting with people, filling his life with warmth and joy.
Share with us the Chinese proverbs that you think are timeless. Please contact juliezhu@shanghaidaily.com.
