00In my understaning, in Chinese culture, people will report better than the actual. For example, if people think you are acceptable, they will say "Good" in reporting. If people think you are good, they will say "Very Good! or Excellence!".02br

00My boss is a Chinese and therefore, I am very disappointed he gave me such comment.
