When my family
moved to America from a small village in
Guangdong, China, we brought
not only
our luggage, but also our village rules, customs
and culture. One of the rules is that young
people should always respect elders.
Unluckily, this rule led to my very first
embarrassment in the
United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a
Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving
food
to a middle-aged couple, the wife
asked me how the food could be served so quickly.
I told her
that I had made sure they
got their food quickly because I always respect
the elderly. As soon as I
said that,
her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who
happened to hear what I said, took
me
aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensiti
ve
（
敏感
）
Americans are and how they
di
slike the description
“old”. I then walked back to the table and
apologized to the wife. After the
couple heard my reason, they understood
that the problem was caused by cultural
differences, so
they laughed and were
no longer angry.
In my
village in China, people are proud of being old.
Not so many people live to be seventy
or eighty, and people who reach such an
age have the most knowledge and experience. Young
people always respect older people
because they know they can learn from their rich
experience.
However, in the
United States, people think “growing old” is a
problem since “old” shows
that a person
is going to retire or that the body is not working
well. Here many people try to keep
themselves away from growing old by
doing exercises or jogging, and women put on
makeup,
hoping to look young. When I
told the couple in the restaurant that I respect
the elderly, they got
angry because
this caused them to feel they had failed to stay
young. I had told them something
they
didn’t want to hear.
After
th
at, I changed the way I had been with
older people. It is not that I don’t respect them
any more; I still respect them, but now
I don’t show my feelings through words.
