But fret not! Our comprehensive field guide is here to help. Here are 3 popular CNY “inquisitions”, and the smart ways to answer them.
别担心,我们在这里过几招给你“防身”
Question 1 – “Ah boy/ girl, still single ah?” 经典问题1:”还是单身啊?”


We absolutely hate this one, and we know you do too.
Yes, you’re still single. Or worse, you recently became single, and now have to justify your reasons for not having a significant one.
关注你的终身大事是他们的使命,《是否单身》依然是新年的热门话题问题,不管你喜不喜欢,你至少会被问一次
Solution:
“Auntie, I think you are good in Math. Do you know the expenses comparison between being attached and single? You may do the calculation”
回招:
阿姨,你的数学应该还不赖吧?你应该知道单身和有伴侣的消费差异吧?
Question 2:
Did you gain weight?
你好像肥了hor…


If you’ve been working hard to keep fit and slim, this question will feel like a cold splash of water and is sure to make you lose your appetite.
如果你是正在积极减肥的一群,这也许是你重重的一击。
Solution:
-Smile- Thanks for noticing me so well, I will maintaining my good life.
回招:
“谢谢你的提醒,我会继续幸福下去” -微笑-
Question 3:
What job you working as now? My son/ daughter is…


No doubt, these kind of questions from your relatives about what you are currently doing can make you feel panic or low self-confidence.
Remember stay calm & polite. They are your relatives, after all.
又是另一道“致命”问题,千万别让“专业人士”的爸妈打击了你小小的心灵。即使他们刻意
Solution:
“I see… (speechless)” and Run. Away
回招:
“哦…” 然后完美离场
Got it?
你学会了吧?
