What do foreigners who have lived in Guangzhou for a long time think about Guangzhou?

Having lived in Guangzhou for more than ten years, I feel that Guangzhou is not only suitable for business but also suitable for living. Needless to say, an important factor in being livable is that people in Guangzhou are easy to get along with. Guangzhou people are rich, low-key, polite and tolerant. In some places, once people become rich, their mentality will change, just like Balzac&;s &”;poor boy in the south&”;, and their walking posture will change. Guangzhou people are rich and don&;t show off. No matter whether they are poor or rich, locals or foreigners can treat each other equally and politely. This reflects the connotation and tolerance of Guangzhou people. Black friends like to live in Guangzhou. Apart from being easy to do business here, getting along with others is an important reason. Guangzhou people are as smart as Shanghai people. Shanghai people&;s shrewdness is often revealed outside, and Guangzhou people&;s congress is contained inside. Shanghainese speak quickly and urgently. One of the characteristics of Cantonese is that the language is not emotional and has a long ending, and the speed of speech is not fast. Sometimes it gives people the feeling of being late and sluggish, which makes people who are dealing with it for the first time feel at ease. On the other hand, Guangzhou people are more courageous. Compared with Beijing, Guangzhou is a civilian city. People in the capital are the official standard. Guangzhou is a business capital, and people here are always worried about working, doing business and making money. Diligence, pragmatism and prudence are common characteristics. Guangzhou people generally believe that wealth has no roots and comes from diligence. Opening ports has a long history of doing business, and Guangzhou people all know that obeying the rules and stressing honesty is the way to win in business. Guangzhou people are tolerant and self-centered. Clear boundaries are the tacit understanding that Guangzhou people get along with each other. They keep a one-meter yellow line distance from each other and will not easily intervene in other people&;s space, nor do they others to intervene in their own space. It&;s not easy to make random visits to talk about mountains like Beijing Siheyuan, and it&;s even more impossible to leave your neighbors with your rice bowl. The ancestors went to Nanyang to build a bridge between Guangzhou and the world. Western civilization and Eastern civilization interacted here, which influenced the thoughts and life of Guangzhou people from generation to generation. Being well informed and chasing international trends kept Guangzhou people in the forefront of the times for a long time. At the same time, they themselves were creating trends. Outsiders can live in Guangzhou with peace of mind, because there are not only perfect urban facilities, but also Guangzhou people who are polite, obey the rules and get along well.
