Traditional Chinese

在中國如果你有需要別人的幫助，從別人那裏獲得資訊，那麼基本上這個人會告訴你他所知道的。如果他不知道的話，他會很有責任心的告訴你他不知道。或者至少他會給你一個比較有可信度的線索。也就是說他相信他給的這個線索有百分之九十或九十九以上的可信度，他才會就是給你這個線索。還有一些呢就說要看看個人的這個性格了，如果有一些人非常熱心於幫助別人的話，那麼他會甚至於幫你去找這個線索。就是他們自己幫你找這個這個資訊，然後再提供給你。啊基本上是這樣吧。

English

In China, if you need someone’s help, need information from someone, the person will basically tell you everything he knows. If he doesn’t know, he’ll act very responsibly by telling you that he doesn’t know. Or he’ll at least give you a reliable lead. That is, he won’t give you a lead unless he believes that the lead he’s giving is 90% or more than 99% reliable. There are other times when you need to think about the person’s personality. If… some people are very enthusiastic about helping others, and they might even help you follow up on a lead. That is, they’ll look for the information for you themselves, then give it to you. That’s basically how it is.
