How to Tell Chinese Stories in English Would you be so kind to help me modify my writing? In this day and age, it seems that we all have that ability to tell a Chinese story in English. However, with the currency of the traditional Chinese culture, an increasing number of people hold on views that it is not that easy to tell such an old Chinese story in English for various kinds of reasons. The most and foremost, it is hard to enable listeners to understand the story. Everyone in the world knows that people from different countries have various kinds of cultural understanding. Chinese people as we are, we can easily catch its meanings while foreigners cannot reach it for their cultural background. That is to say, when we are sharing a Chinese story, we need to care more about the cultural difference to avoid cultural shock and use simple words vividly to entertain listeners. With the exception of this, it is also important for us to realize that China is a high context country, and we are inclined to express implicitly. For example, when we are going to tell a story, we always cite an old Chinese saying in the beginning, which can be acceptable to Chinese but it may lead to misunderstanding for foreign friends. Therefore, it is of great importance for tellers to be aware of the discrepancy between them and always believe that the more detailed information you conclude, the better story you share. Another factor that can be hard for Chinese people to narrate a good story in English is that we need to seize the opportunity to make an interaction with listeners. Sometimes, in order to make the story more impressive and imaginable, we need to leave a flash of time for them to meditate instead of tediously telling a story from start to end. Consequently, it is of great necessity for us to release our spirit while sharing an old Chinese story in English. Only in this way can we tell a Chinese story the best.
