More Chinese Sayings

Rebecca is my dear sweet niece from China that is visiting for summer vacation. She says she is very “Cool” and she wears jeans with holes in them so I guess she is cool indeed. Anyway here is a little story about her.

When she first came to Los Angeles she kept talking about how ‘America was coming’ down but by the end of her trip here she was commenting on how educated the average man from California seemed to be. Besides, it was fun it was to here which is the best of all.

Rebecca says, “The lips live with teeth”. This is a famous Chinese saying meaning what? Rebecca says, “If you let your neighbor country be attacked without helping and the country falls to its enemies then you will be next to be attacked. So the moral is that when your neighbor meets difficulty you must help.” This is her explanation for why China helped Korea during the war with the US. Now I am really confused.

We will be hearing more from Rebecca Cui in the future. She is such a bright and shinning star that the media is clamoring for more from her pithy wit.
