Do your parents hug you before you go to school? 15 In Western countries, it is quite mon to greet close friends or relatives with a hug. You might hug your teammates after winning a basketball game. If one of your friends is having a bad day, you can hug them to cheer them up. Friends who haven’t seen each other for a long time will usually hug each other when meeting. Of course, people in different countries have different opinions when it es to hugging. After ing to China, I’ve noticed that people are generally more reluctant ( 不情愿的 ) to hug than they are in my home country, the US. My Chinese friends told me that hugging is considered to be very intimate (親密的 ) in their culture. It usually only happens between people who are really close to each other, like couples. Chinese people don’t usually hug in public, either. But people’s attitudes ( 態(tài)度 ) towards hugging can also change. I remember watching a video story about a “hugging party” that was held in Shanghai. A local artist held the party, inviting strangers and asking them to hug each other. The Chinese participants (參與者 ) clearly looked unfortable. However, after the party, several of them changed their minds. They decided that hugging doesn’t have to be awkward ( 尷尬的 ) and can actually be quite nice. So next time you see your mom or dad, give them a hug – see how it makes you feel. 36.
