In recent years, the influx of Chinese immigrants into Australia, the development of various industries in Australia, so that Australians and Chinese contact with more and more. It has to be admitted that Chinese and Australians differ considerably in their outlook on life, values and conduct, which gives Australians a positive as well as a negative view of the Chinese. So, what do Australians think of Chinese immigrants?
Be able to work hard and believe that hard work will make you rich.
The Chinese people's hard work spirit and intelligence and ability, is the Australian most admired. In Australia, many low-income jobs, such as cleaners, cashiers, housemakers, waiters and so on, can see the presence of Chinese immigrants. Australians are famous for their laziness, getting used to getting off work after work, not answering their phones after work, and then processing their work at work. But the Chinese can accept overtime, use their spare time to earn money and improve themselves, and eventually jump to a level of income.
Attach great importance to the education of children
Many Chinese families have a strong belief in the idea that education changes destiny. Many Chinese families emigrated to Australia to create a better educational environment for their children. Chinese parents are usually seen in district rooms around high-quality Australian schools.
Because of the importance of parents, Asian students often study harder than immigrants from other ethnic groups. With the help of their parents and their own efforts, many second generations of immigrants can eventually win scholarships from local Australians, leading to famous Australian schools.
Hospitality is too warm
The enthusiasm of the Chinese is something Australians cannot understand or even agree with. Treat dinner, prepare a large table of food, in fact, two or three people will definitely eat, eventually more or less wasted. Drinking always likes to persuade wine, with human feelings, friendship to persuade wine, do not drink is not friends, not brothers.
However, in the eyes of some Australians, these are impractical and face-saving is actually not of much use in Australian communication. Australians entertain friends, unless they are male or female friends or important occasions, are generally very casual, there are friends to eat, we can add food, but only one or two will be ok, do not too deliberately, otherwise appear to be raw.
The public likes to make a noise.
Love to laugh in public, with little regard for the feelings of pedestrians and others, is a bad impression on Australians when many Chinese emigrate abroad. Not to mention that in Australia, even at home, the editor feels the same way. While riding the subway, he often hears someone speak loudly in the carriage, and even more, when watching video on his mobile phone, he not only doesn't have his headphones on, but also speaks loudly. In Australia, these phenomena are rarely seen, and to be honest, such practices are easily objectionable to others.
Therefore, when Chinese emigrate abroad, try to avoid offending their taboos and avoid unpleasant consequences when getting along and communicating with local Australians. Of course, Australians in general are very friendly and enthusiastic, believe that Chinese positive, the average Chinese as long as the personality is more open, fluent English, will be very popular in Australia.
