Chinese journalists were surprised by the habit of Russians to set the table for guests

The habit of Russians generously treating guests surprised the authors of the publication in the Chinese edition. They noted that the hosts can arrange a full dinner even for a person who stopped by without warning.

According to the observations of journalists, the best products are often obtained in Russian homes by the arrival of guests, including those reserved for a special occasion. Failure to eat does not necessarily mean that the guest will leave without a treat. He will be offered at least tea with candy and other sweets, and often immediately from the door.

The authors singled out festive feasts separately, paying attention to the abundance of dishes and the scale of reception. This attitude towards guests they called one of the notable features of Russian life.

For comparison, journalists cited habits that are considered common in Europe and the United States. According to them, with a usual home visit, hosts can limit themselves to coffee, cookies or sandwiches, and a joint meal is more often organized in a cafe or restaurant. The authors explain this difference by traditions of reception, not stinginess.

The publication also mentions the nickname common in China Russians “combat nation”. If its authors are associated with perseverance, courage and assertiveness, then a generous treat is considered a manifestation of hospitality.
