Expression or not expression

If we are not familiar with the body language when we are communicating with Chinese, we are likely to misunderstand other people. So it’s very important to understand the differences of body language between South Europe and Chinese, be aware of the manners and the standards in order to avoid communicative barrier or even failure.

The main difference between………..

Young Chinese don’t look back

Young Chinese don’t look back

A scientific research from Beijing-University shows that 87 % of young Chinese engineers and natural scientists don’t want to return to China after their studies. Though Chinese government and Chinese economy have done a big investment in improving the conditions and requirements for motivation this result seems to be an alarm-signal.

The loss of those well-trained and high-performing specialists is borne by a well-trained competent and creative base of talents.

Therefore China does a lot of ………..

100 years of women’s issues in China…. baby, you’ve come along

A close relative recently passed away at the ripe old age of 100. Born in 1912 in China, her life story documents how far Chinese women have come in the past 100 years. This is a tribute to her fortitude, courage and optimism in spite of gender issues, war and famine in the early years of her long eventful life………

#8 is the lucky number in China

The photographer Christoph Mohr who visited China for several times within the last years uses this lucky number as structure of his photo-exhibition in Cologne/Germany.

Mohr’s photo-exhibition is part of the big festival in Cologne/Germany in celebration of the China-year in Germany.

Mohr structures his exhibition of wonderful photos by using the lucky #8. That means 8 photos as portraits of 8 different cities/provinces.

Christoph Mohr is a member of the society of China-friends in Cologne.

Mohr’s portraits of people and typical scenes can be …………..

Chinese language is body-language (6)

Chinese language is body-language (6) – an apple is not an apple –

When remembering the experience in Düsseldorf I begin to understand one important difference between the German and Chinese way of writing / painting graphics and letters. We know about the meaning of a letter and a word, independent from writing this letter or word in a proper way. So we do not feel any necessity to write in a proper way, with concentration or full awareness. We know: an apple is an apple. And if we write this word in a readable way it is ok to do so.

To me it seems that this is quite different to ………..

body approach in China and Japan

Body approach in China and Japan

Dear Ulrich,

I read your report on Psyche and Körper in Ost und West with great interest.

The differences between China and the west seem much greater than between Japan and the west.

I never worked in China, but went many times to Japan.

In Japan at first every client in a group expected to behave like others in the group.

There was a lot of social mask and group conformity.

When I was able, through somatic interventions, to get below this “tertiary layer” of personality, and could reach

the primary layer, I found a lot of emotional health, vitality and spontaneity coming from the early pre school years.

The secondary layer of anger, fear of sadness could only be contacted when trust from this primary layer had been established.

Wishing you all the best in your intercultural research

Warm greetings

Being a Manager in China 1

Being a Manager in China 1

Most of the companies prepare their managers for the visit to or the job in China. Popular is an intercultural workshop where you can get information about the country, the culture, the people, the climate andsoon. Often participants of those workshops try to get familiar a bit with these habits and rules of behavior or communication by roleplay.

Yet this is only: learning the vocabulary and grammatics. This is not ( yet ) real life. Of course you would say this resembles to learn swimming or driving a car. And of course you will argue: it takes quite a long time to drive your car correctly, safely and joyfully.

Being confronted with a new culture, with very different people with odd and strange habits produces quite a big stress and strain for ………………

China for kids

When I came across this website I felt like a kid. 😉

And at the same time I felt invited to learn more about China, the Chinese people and the Chinese culture by following the advice of this website in a very playful way. Playing and exploring always is like an adventure. and to be honest I am convinced that being part of an adventure help to vanish all obstacles, all resistance to any kind of intercultural problems. And being a child invites you to explore a culture more or less on a noverbal level. And this is the chance you and we have. Trust this playful, nonverbal approach to you and the other. Trust the stranger in yourself and make him familiar to yourself. 😉

Trust the child in yourself.
