Hi Darius
Thanks for your questions , it is a little late today , 2:30AM here , I just made a reservation for the hotel and flight , because I will travel again tomorrow . I came across your post before I go to bed . But I would love to tell you my ideas of your questions .
1)How important is really the issue " FACE " in chinese culture nowadays?
As for the face , I think it is still play an important role in Mordern China , as you know , China has a long history and there is a "face" culture here , hehe , when you say great words to someone and praise them , I think they will get more faces , of course , their real face is still same , this will make them to feel pround of themselves ,sometimes this is a good way for you to get more respect from others . But please keep things in "control" if you know what I mean.
2)What are the important concerns of the ladies when they begin to talk to the men?
The world become smaller and smaller because of the internet ,when the ladies begin to talk to the men , I think they usually pay more attention to their country,languages ,personality ,looks ,age, race,occupation,income and their sincere intention of building a home . Of course , there are still some others , this often depends on different ladies .
3)What services offer really the agencies and the translators to the chinese ladies?
The agencies usually need to check the ladies real ID and register for them ,some agencies also train foreign languages . The translators's main task is to translate the letters for the ladies and provide the interpretor services when the foreigners come to China and help the two people get to know each other better .
4)How will act a genuine translator if he or she finds out that the lady is not that honest with the man?
As far as I know , the genuine translator will ask the ladies stop the relationship if she think he is not the right one for her. If the ladies can not hear the advice , I think the translator would better use some indifferent words in the letters and make the men to know they are not right for each other . That will not waste the people's money and time .
5)What would the ladies think if we put a note for the translator about our concerns? Do they feel offended?
I don't think so , a note for the translator about your concerns may be useful , the ladies can understand this , because they know this will help the two people know each other better . Unless the men write love letters to the translators . (smile )
Well , I hope I answered all of your questions , your questions are more than Arnold's , hope you can get some information from my words . Good Luck ! :heart:
