How to treat "China people's human feelings"?

Many elderly adults are particularly concerned about human feelings. This kind of so-called human feelings includes courtesy, respect and servility, and "Chinese human feelings" are embodied in inviting guests to dinner and red packets during the New Year. We can feel this "human touch of China people" in many aspects of our lives.

Every Chinese New Year holiday, when guests come to our house, my parents will prepare a table of dishes. Even though they know that so many dishes can never be eaten, they still have to be put on the table for the sake of the table. A few days after the festival, it must be the day to eat leftovers.

Going out with my mother, I met relatives who took their children out to play on the way. My mother didn't even see the child clearly, so she began to say, "This child is really cute." "I haven't seen her for a while. She has grown so fast." After my mother praised her relatives' children, it was my relatives' turn to praise me. "This girl is really handsome, and her parents inherit well ..." Afterwards, I asked my mother, "Do you really think her children are cute?" My mother asked me, "Do you really think she thinks you are handsome?" The elders just compliment each other, and saying these kind words is also a manifestation of China people's human feelings.

During the Chinese New Year, the elders gave red envelopes to the younger generation, and my cousin gave me red envelopes. My mother pulled me aside, opened the red envelope to see the amount inside and walked away. Afterwards, I asked her why she peeked at my red envelope. She said, look at how much money others give you for her children. I felt speechless at that time.

Although I don't like the human feelings of China people, in any case, this mode of getting along has penetrated into every bit of our lives.
