The Gift

 

I received some beautiful chopsticks from a colleague at work. I didn’t read too much into this gift – it was simply a kindness, but I saw that “. . . besides friends and relatives, people also send pairs of chopsticks to their business partners. Since chopsticks should be used in pairs, in Chinese culture it stands for close ‘合作 (hézuò) cooperation’ between two parties in business.”
