Bumper Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 The Understanding of Chinese/Asian culture vs. Western has always been an interesting part of research.It also applies to all Asians, including the Indians, Japanese, Thais, Koreans, Indonesian, Malays, etc... These icons were designed by Liu Young who was born in China and educated in Germany.

Lurker Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 ^^ the way I looked at that picture is how an Asian will typically enjoy plotting the downfall of his nemesis. Its the smile yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plotting westerner will be equally happy if nemesis fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I understood it as "an Asian doesn't show his true emotions to the outside world". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fineleg Posted October 23, 2007 Share Posted October 23, 2007 I understood it as "an Asian doesn't show his true emotions to the outside world". This is what I thought, and I'd actually differ. Many a times the westerners think one and say something else because they dont "reveal" their emotions. Asians do. Its generalization, there are ofcourse both types in both worlds.

May be it means that asians are happy at being upset whereas westerners are upset at being upset. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
