Are Chinese people time-conscious?Of course! In fact,punctuality is a traditional merit of Chinese.We can find examples without too much cifficulty.In Qin Dynasty,there was once a hero named Zhang Liang. His teacher wanted to teach him the Art of War and asked him to meet him in the morning.Zhang went to that place early in the morning to see the old man already there.His teacher was not pleased and said Zhang was late,then he asked Zhang to go there next morning.This time,Zhang arrived there with the sun rise.Still,he met his teacher already there.The old man said angrily Zhang was late again and gave him one last chance to go there the next morning.So Zhang went there the third day when it was still dark.Moved by Zhang,the old man praised him as a integrity young man and taught Zhang with all his knoledge.
We can learn from this story that it’s a precious merit to be time-conscious.
Nowadays,it’s belived that time is money.We can’t image that a market that is not so standardized and effective can be successful.Chinese economy is now growing in such a fast speed that it's more and more required for us to be punctual with time.We students should aim high and develop the habit of time-conscious.Only in this way can we be compatent talents for our society.
