The Chinese people attach great importance to personal relations. If a Chinese is invited to a meal, he will try to find an opportunity to give a return banquet to the inviter, otherwise, he would be regarded as unacquainted with the ways of the world.
中国人非常看重人情。如果有人请中国人吃饭,这个中国人就会找机会回请,否则,他会被看成没有人情。

If invited to a meal, be especially careful about your table manners.
