Jim and Li Zhen were students together at Leeds University in Britain. A year later, after graduating, Jim went to Shanghai as a visiting scholar on a year's exchange. Jim had never been to China before. Li Zhen took him to a classical piano concert performed by a famous Chinese pianist. During the performance people were talking and at one stage someone ran up onto the stage and presented the pianist with a bunch of flowers during the playing of a particular musical item. This happened several times during the evening. It also happened when two singers were on stage singing some songs that he was playing. Jim thought all these things quite strange. At the end of the performance the audience applauded the pianist and he applauded them. The audience began to leave while the pianist remained on the stage.
Question: What cultural phenomenon can be reflected?
【正确答案】：In this situation, having known Li Zhen for a year it would have been expected that Jim would have learned some cultural differences between China and Britain.However it seems that the cultural communication between the two did not extend this far. The scenario enacted in the classical concert in Shanghai is a common phenomenon in China. In Britain there would have been several differences. First, the audience would remain silent when the pianist was playing, they would not talk because it is considered grossly impolite. Flowers are never given during the performance of the artists, only at the completion of the performance and then given only to the main performer. Upon completion of the performance the pianist would not clap his/her audience but be clapped by the audience and a proper response to the clapping would be a bow (male) or a curtsey (female). The performers would then leave the stage and the audience would exit after the performers had left. Not the other way around as in Shanghai. Concert performances are relatively serious affairs in Britain, and definitely not informal social occasions.
