"Customer Follows The Main Convenience" And "The Master Follows The Guest Convenience".

Chinese people are very particular about hospitality and hospitality.

If we are guests, we must do in Rome as the Romans do. Guests do not bother their owners if they follow the Lord. If we are masters, we must be attentive.

In more than 60 days, we will welcome the eight party guests of Beijing Olympic Games.

As the host of Olympic Games, it can be different from ordinary entertaining guests.

　　主随客便：友谊源自尊重

To make guests feel relaxed and happy at home, the most important thing is their respect for customs, habits, religious beliefs and even different tastes of food.

This requires us to first study and study the composition of the 205 Olympic delegation members, their customs and taboos and other personalized characteristics, so that we can reasonably arrange and meet the needs of guests in the reception work, so as to be enthusiastic and thoughtful and courteous.

For example, the Halal Restaurant provided by athletes in the Olympic village is equipped with special tableware and waiter.

The halal kitchens are equipped with special Kitchenware and Halal chef. The cooking oil, seasoning and other excipients comply with the halal requirement. The kitchen utensils and materials are stored separately and specially purchased.

The prayer room is set up in the Olympic village of Beijing, which is the respect of the host for people of different religious beliefs.

The vast majority of the public will not participate in the reception of the athletes themselves, but the atmosphere of a city's hospitality is our usual words and deeds.

Only when we help our guests as much as possible, can guests feel relaxed and happy in an environment they are not familiar with.

Etiquette expert, former Chinese education counselor in Lausanne, told a story: the year before last, he took ten personal delegations to study in Switzerland and took a bus to the International Olympic Committee Museum in the center of the city.

At the station, he did not wait for his money to collect the tickets, but his companions got on.

As we all know, here are all tickets at the station, no tickets on the train.

When Zhang Zuwang got on the train, he explained to the driver. The driver said kindly, "after four stops, you can get off and walk a few steps to the Olympic Committee."

When Zhang Zuwang gave him money, he smiled and refused to accept it.

Afterwards, the partners said, "it feels good to be in Switzerland."

If we can make the eight party visitors a bit more during the Beijing Olympic Games, how good it would be.

　　客随主便：多一些耐心去了解“客随主便”的本意是客人完全依随主人的方便或安排而行事。作为奥运会的东道主，接待客人的时候我们遵循“主随客便”的原则，如果我们的客人能够入乡随俗，那真是皆大欢喜的事情。作为主人，我们也希望自己的风俗习惯得到客人的尊重，这个要求并不过分。

But as a host, we must see the fact that many people do not know China well enough about Beijing.

Zhao Qizheng, director of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the CPPCC National Committee, once said in a speech, "Chinese people know more about the United States than Americans do about China.

There are many reasons for the asymmetry between the two sides. For example, Chinese people can read many American works plated into Chinese, but few Chinese works have been plated into English.

Americans do not know China directly, but they understand China through the description of China's movies and TV.

Not only Americans, but also many other countries do not know much about us.

A Chinese girl studying in Sweden said her landlady, an old Swedish woman, asked her if she had a TV set at home.

Just as many Chinese don't know who the Prime Minister of Sweden is, even if the TV popularity of our country is high, even if our TV sets are sold all over the world, it is not easy for most people in the world to know the fact.

Professor Zhang Zuwang said that a Canadian friend once said that 10% of the Chinese know the west well, and 10% of Westerners know China well.

But the other 90% of the Chinese know far more about the West than the other 90% Westerners know about China.

The Olympic Games is such an opportunity for us to be understood by the world, but from understanding, understanding to recognition, we need a process, and it is not accomplished overnight.

We need to be patient and gradually understood by the world. We need to be tolerant and tolerant of misunderstandings and even prejudices.

As a host, respect for the guests does not mean that everything is unprincipled.

Guests must also abide by the laws of host countries.

If the "guests follow the main convenience" or "the master will follow the guest's convenience", if the Olympic Games can be held, it will increase mutual understanding, eliminate misunderstanding and estrangement, and the host's mission will be successfully completed.
