In China, students study for marks while other westerners kids study for fun. I have been Australia for one and half year, what I seen here is even facing GAOKAO coming soon, students still have lots of time for fun. Never start class before 9.30 or end after 3.30, and all kinds of competitions, activities,......With obviously different pressure in their childhood, the way of treating stuff around will definetely varies accordingly.

Thus, I usually see people want to keep a reasonably nice position in the society, no matter fake or real, by any means. Usually, if the community is open and mercury, the fear for face-losing might be lower in comparing with that in the isolated/fixed community.

People are treating simple stuff more and more complicated. And on the other hand, Chinese people are restrictedly (<strong>most mentally</strong>) reigned for years, which caused they were so afraid to act naturally - they have to think twice before, and then, getting stuff complicated. Personally, I don't think 'face-saving' thing is a so bad stuff, though it just sometimes cuts down the life efficiency. I just hope those people (under pressure) around us could live easier and happier. Well, I think the 'face-saving' thing is due to some "over-evolution" culture in China.
