London’s Chinese community(社区) dates back to the 18th century, when a small number of Chinese sailors moved to the city to work in Limhouse, east London. As time went on, other Chinese people came to this area and Limhouse began to be known as “Chinatown”. However London’s Chinese community remained very small for many years： at the start of the 20th century, there were just 545 Chinese people in Britain.

After the Second World War, many farmers in Hong Kong lost their jobs and came to London. As Limhouse had been almost destroyed during the war, they settled(定居) in different area—a part of central London near Leicester Square. This area is now what Londoners call Chinatown.

At first, the new immigrants (移民) found it difficult to get jobs. In the 1950s, however, a small Chinese restaurant opened in London. Many British people visited it and said that Chinese food was wonderful! Suddenly, Chinese restaurants and take-aways started opening in every part of the city. Instead of too little work, the new Chinese immigrants now found that they had too much! They worked as cooks, managers or waiters. Most of them enjoyed their lives and arranged their friends and relatives to join them from overseas.

As time went by, London’s Chinese community became more and more successful. The sons and daughters of the original restaurant workers studied and worked very hard. And most went on to get highly paid jobs. Many Chinese families left Chinatown and moved to the more expensive outskirts. Chinatown, however, is still as lively as ever.

Manners are important in every country. But people have different ideas about their manners. What is good in one country may not be welcomed in another.

Chinese people are surprised to know the fact that an Englishman doesn’t stop to talk and shake hands with his friend in the street. They just say hello to each other and then pass on.

English people think that we Chinese end our visits to friends all of a sudden. They usually begin to show that they want to go 15 or 20 minutes before they leave their friend’s house. And they do this two or three times within 20 minutes.

Because of these differences, perhaps the most suitable advice for the overseas, no matter what country he is visiting, is to follow the old proverb： “When in Rome, do as the Romans do.”
