K: yeah,almost. But there is one thing.

P: what?

K: I still wonder what privacy meant for Chinese people. I don’t mean to say that there’s no privacy in China, but...

P: what is it?

K: some of my Chinese colleagues just share their personal stories in front of others.

P: that makes you feel uncomfortable?

K: yeah. we never do that in a public office.

P: perhaps that’s because we hold different ideas about privacy.

K: i have felt that. One day when i was in a queue, reading a newspaper story, the man behind me peered through my shoulder and stared at the newspaper I was holding.

P: well, that’s not rare. I’ve seen people reading at others’ newspaper while takng a metro or a bus.

K: just stare at the newspaper holding in the hands of the one next to him?

P: yeah.

K: Oh, I’m shocked.
