How to befriend older Chinese man?
Hey guys! I know the title sounds odd but I'm a teacher and one of my students is from a Chinese family, her grandfather is always particularly nice to me, bringing me food and various Chinese snacks every time he comes in. I didn't know if this was a cultural thing where he's just showing respect/ doing it out of a sense of obligation or if it's him being as kind as it seems?
Either way I would love to be able to repay his kindness in some way and want to know if there's an appropriate gesture or gift for situations like this? I've done my best to learn very basic mandarin so I can say hello, goodbye, and ask how he's doing but I would love to do a kind gesture as well since he brings me food gifts so often.
Any insights or advice is appreciated and if anyone has any questions I'll answer to the best of my ability!
