当老外收到中国锦旗,会是什么反应?毕业典礼上,中国留学生为外国导师送锦旗,导师举着到处展示,说要挂办公室。米兰地铁安保帮中国女孩追回手机,女孩们穿传统服饰专程送锦旗致谢。红布金字,是中国人记一辈子的感谢。锦旗,正成为新的“文化硬通货”。

A Chinese student gifted one to her professor at graduation, who proudly showed it off and planned to hang it in her office. In Milan, Chinese students dressed in traditional outfits to thank subway security staff for recovering their stolen phones. Red fabric, golden characters—a thank-you to remember for a lifetime. These banners are becoming a new kind of Chinese cultural currency.
