What are the cultural differences between China and the West? You might be able to find the answer in Cao Siyu' s comics(连环漫画).

Cao, 36, was born in Beijing, but left home at 20 and has studied and lived in the US, the UK, and France for 12 years. Having seen so many cultures, Cao wanted to use her drawing skills to show the differences she has experienced. So she created the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics.

"My experience shows that although travel is much easier and faster today, the distance(距离)between cultures hasn't shortened,"Cao said. She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. One of her cartoons shows water forms in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water(苏打水); the one from China is steaming(冒热气的).

Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. She once used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks while western people don't. "Her simple pictures have played a big part in showing Chinese culture," Italian magazine Grazia reported.

Many foreign readers say that Cao's comics help them understand China, while Chinese living abroad have felt that they are seen and understood. She said that this voice has been the biggest motivation(动力) for her to keep creating.

I had my first job at the age of thirteen.I was very1 to make my own pocket money.My parents 2 interfered (干涉) with how I spent it,even when I was spending it foolishly.They3 that by making money,spending it,and learning from the mistakes,I would grow up and become more responsible. 

Like many 4 parents,my parents also let me and my brothers do things although they worried a great deal.When I was sixteen,I wanted to spend the summer months 5 around Europe.My mother was6 the idea that I went for a trip alone at such a young age.But my father felt that it would be a great 7 for me.In the end,my mother agreed that I could only travel to France,8 it was my mother's home.And I had many uncles,aunts who could 9 help if I need them. 

Three years later,my younger brother decided to take a 10 off after his first year in university.Again my mother was very worried and not happy to see my brother leave his 11 .But my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n)12 year working his way on trains and ships to different places. 

These kinds of experiences are probably impossible for children in many countries,but in the US they are quite13 .Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves.By the time 14 have finished high school,many American kids have already had part-time jobs and traveled on their own.Maybe they have chosen the university and even 15 their future job and so on.
