Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas Jon Taylor,professor of political science at the University of St Thomas,said that there are certain qualities about Chinese people that are timeless：Patriotism,family-mindedness,industriousness,and innovativeness. He cited the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression （1931-1945）and the forming of New China as crucial events that bring to mind qualities such as patriotism and self-sacrifice（自我牺牲）. Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas Bernard Dewit,chairman of the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce,noted that given the progress of the past 40 years, it’s understandable why most Chinese people are proud of their country. While patriotism is the spirit that bonds the nation together, family plays a big role in traditional Chinese culture.“My Chinese friends get married and have babies when they turn a certain age,and Chinese friends think about their family first when they choose a job or quit one,”said Aaron Cedillo, an English teacher at an elementary school in Beijing. Section Ⅰ　Starting out & Understanding ideas Beyond the traditional ties to country and family, qualities of industriousness and innovation also come to light. Sheryl Wang, a Malaysian student at Zhejiang University, cited package delivery（快递） on weekends as an example of how industrious Chinese people are. Ammar Hawbani,from Yemen,an associate professor at the University of Science and Technology of China, said he has observed Chinese students in the laboratory exhibiting innovative and productive traits（特质）.
