"The Russians are also different from the Chinese in numbers, Russia is particularly taboo about the number '13', considering it a symbol of danger and death, on the contrary, believing that '7' means happiness and success, and Russians do not like black cats and think that it will not bring good luck. ”

"Russians consider mirrors to be sacred objects, and breaking them means the destruction of the soul. ”

But breaking cups, plates, and plates means wealth and happiness, and they also break some plates to celebrate wedding feasts, birthday feasts, and other solemn occasions. ”

"Russians usually believe that horses can ward off evil spirits and bring good luck to people, especially believe that the horseshoe is an auspicious object, and that the horsefoot represents power and has the magic power of subduing demons, and we can see the figure of the horse in many statues in Russia. ”

"When you meet an acquaintance, you can't stretch out your left hand to shake hands and say hello, and students don't use your left hand to draw lots in the examination room, etc. ”

"In interpersonal interactions, Russians have always been known for their enthusiasm, boldness, bravery, and uprightness, and in social situations, Russians are accustomed to shaking hands with people they meet for the first time, but for familiar people, especially when they are reunited after a long absence, they mostly have to hug each other warmly. ”

"When greeting a distinguished guest, Russians usually offer 'bread and salt' to each other, which is a very high courtesy, and the guest must smile at it. ”

"For people with positions, academic titles, and military ranks, it is best to show respect for each other by commensurate with their positions, academic titles, and military ranks, rather than calling each other 'Xiao Zhang' and 'Xiao Li' like the Chinese." ”

"Most of the Russians are particular about appearance and clothing. In the Russian folk, married women are required to wear a headscarf, predominantly white; Unmarried girls do not wear headscarves, but they often wear hats. ”

"In the cities, Russia now wears a suit or skirt, and Russian women often wear a dress. ”

"They also dress differently from us Chinese, because their habits are different, their living habits and customs are different. ”

"When visiting Russians, after entering the door, please immediately consciously take off your coat, gloves and hat, and take off your sunglasses, which is a kind of politeness, we Chinese, especially young people, are more fashionable, some people will wear sunglasses, and do not take them off indoors, which in the eyes of Russians, is a sign of disrespect, so you need to pay attention." ”

"Russians don't seem to trust people as much when they first come into contact with people, but once they do, they will continue to believe in you. So, with the first successful cooperation, as long as he is also in this business, he will get the goods with the supplier for a long time, which is why I have been able to work with Russian customers for five years. ”

"Compared with the Chinese, diligent, hardworking, and hardworking, the Russians are slightly lazy and procrastinating, we Chinese are very smart, good at discovering the other party's emotional changes, and can also put themselves in each other's shoes from the other party's point of view, do business or reputation, integrity-based, as long as your person and your company have been recognized by the other party, customers trust you, and can also accept the terms of the contract, it is easy to cooperate." ”

"I have a lot of old Russian customers, and I have cooperated many times, because they are already very familiar with each other, trust each other, price, contract terms, are very negotiable, so between people, or to build a bridge of trust, want to build trust, need a process, this process, both sides are testing each other, they have their test methods, we have our test methods, only after the test, the two sides reach a consensus, and the cooperation is very pleasant. ”

Qu Lihua asked: "Teacher Yin, I found that many Russians don't know much English?

Yin Xiaoyong smiled, "This is a good question, yes, 90% of Russians do not speak English, of course this proportion is slowly decreasing now, as more and more Sino-Russian trade, Russians have begun to pay attention, and some people have begun to learn Chinese." ”

"Let's analyze why Russians speak less English, a phenomenon that is common in most non-English-speaking countries, where they are more accustomed to speaking their native language. ”

"Our nine-year compulsory English in China is a compulsory course, many students have started learning English since childhood, Russian students are not the same as us, they do not have a passion for learning English like we Chinese, most Russian students do not know what is the use of learning English, there are not many foreigners who go to Russia, for them, the time to learn English is not as good as drinking vodka." ”

Everyone was amused, and Captain Xia said: "Russians are really very fond of drinking vodka, and this has become their hallmark." ”

Su Xiaoyu said: "There is another reason, Russians are arrogant, most of them rarely go abroad, stay in Russia is the largest country in the world, and because of arrogance, some arrogance, they prefer to speak their own mother tongue rather than learn the language of other countries." ”

"This is very different from us Chinese, we Chinese are very modest, good at self-examination of the nation, the Qing Dynasty closed off the country, let China lag behind the world, unable to resist the foreigners' sharp guns, this made the Chinese quickly awakened, after the concept of 'mastering the skills of the master to control the country' was proposed, the people also felt that they should learn from the developed countries of the West, know themselves and know the other, in order to survive a hundred battles." ”

"In China's modern history, the Chinese people, who have suffered so much from the war, from the bottom of their hearts, are even more eager that China will become stronger, so that it can defend its homeland and defend the country, restore our national dignity, rejuvenate the nation, drive out the invaders, prosper the motherland, and live and work in peace and contentment. ”

"In the 40 years of China's reform and opening up, it has become more and more open, and now China has undergone earth-shaking changes, changing the backward appearance of the past, history is like a mirror, we Chinese will remember history and will not forget those national heroes." ”

"Open up, more Chinese go out of the country, to see the world, if you can only speak the mother tongue of your own country, there will be obstacles to communication with foreigners, we Chinese are very smart, good at learning people, so we Chinese, especially highly educated college students, almost all speak English, of course, speaking well or not is another matter, at least we Chinese college students will still speak some daily conversation." ”

"Russian people who know English, that is, some high-achieving students, who have studied in other countries, or who have studied English in universities, are now many Russians who do business are slowly realizing the importance of English and regaining English. ”

"Some Russian friends around me, he used to not speak a word, but then in the daily conversations with me, now he speaks well, not only learned some English, but also learned some Chinese, now he can take his family to travel to China, simple daily conversations can be spoken, without translation, can also travel all over China." ”
