Meet Siye. And by meeting her I mean to get introduced to a comic series that she’s been drawing regularly for about a year from which you can learn a lot about Chinese culture or, to put it more precise, about cultural differences between western and this eastern country.
Siye is born and raised in Beijing, China, but during her education, she was studying and living in many western countries such as USA, France, and Great Britain. She met many people who were curious about her country and its culture but also she faced a bunch of stereotypes in everyday life that people think about her origin.
“Tiny eyes” is the name of her comics that share Chinese culture through everyday life, for everyone who is willing to learn about other cultures rather than adopt stereotypes. Let’s check out some of them and learn what Siye says about her interesting work and experince.

Having lived in Japan and experienced China, I found this very entertaining and spot on. Good, clean humor.
Thanks.
I asked a Chinese girl for her phone number once.
She said, “Sex, sex, sex! Free sex tonight!”
I was blown away but then her friend said,
She said, “Six, six, six, three six two nine.
The Chines people are amazing! They were able to make an entire language out of tattoos!
I kept waiting for the "walk behind a man" cartoon ..... Liza drives me CRAZY with that.
My Chinese DIL is wonderful. I can’t believe how blessed we are to have such a lovely person in our lives.
And there have been some adjustments culturally. I had to learn love is not said, thanks are not given, but all things are expressed in different ways.
I have also enjoyed her takes on our culture.
Ha ha! Chinese so smart, American so stupid.
I would suggest you pare the size of those graphics down...it made it hard to look at them.
Once, I walked into a room that was totally dark and my Japanese gf was in there hiding. She jumped out and in her scariest voice said, ‘Ba!’ Too funny.
My wife says "corny" every time I tell her, " I love you "
" I'm sorry " is another one.
Now multiply those cultural differences by 192 sovereign countries and it becomes easy to see why having one common culture becomes so important.
Now that I think about it; one of America’s (and many other country’s) biggest problems is we have two distinct but opposite cultures. Left and right ideologies which will never reconcile. In fact it’s just getting worse by the day thanks to the left. At some point the last straw will hit the horse with the horse bucking it off while spraying the fan with projectile diarrhea. Yep; gonna be messy.
In a perfect world all the leftists would live in their own (twisted) country while us normies would have the rest of the world.
China is not a uniform culture... There are actually over 72 distinct peoples, as I learned in a history museum in Shanghai, such as Yigurs, Tibetans, etc. The Han chinese enforce uniformity through brutality and “re-education”. We could follow suit in the US, but then we wouldn’t be the United States of American anymore.
I asked my neighbor why his Chinese wife had on so many clothes outside in the middle of July. He said to block the sun, she did not want to get one bit darker....he said she was very conscious about getting darker.
Yes, I understand.
It was that way here once. Now, darker skin indicates that you have leisure time to be sun tanning. Think Boehner.
