“Face”，or “mianzi,is an evident phenomenon of personal and business relationships in China. “Face” does not have specific definitions in Chinese. It is very similar to the notion of reputation. If you are not familiar with Chinese culture, 1 :you should know something about face or gaining face. If you do not “save face”for others, they will think that you do not respect them. It is easy to find “face” in all aspects of Chinese life. Chinese people dislike to say the word “no”，for they want 1 to “save face” for both parties, so they may say “it is inconvenient for me right now”，“it is too difficult” or “maybe”，instead of merely saying “no” to others.
