Is there any other way to reply 'How're you'? I was taught to say "I'm fine. Thank you..." and it may be a bit boring if one replies too many "Fine. Thankyou."... A Chinese man was driving a car in a foreign country, and his car accidentally fell down the road. A policeman came over and asked the Chinese man, how are you? Then the man, because of habitual thinking or the influence of years of exam-oriented education, blurted out, "I'm fine, thank you, and you?" and the policeman said "I'm fine too, I'm glad you are alright," then he walked away, just walked away... Of course, this is a cold joke... However, it also makes me think how to reply HRU in a different way...
