When we have a friend who has a birthday, we give them a birthday gift. The Chinese like to attach a special meaning to a gift to show their blessings, for example, a cup with a smiley face on it is a wish that the friend will always have a smile on his face.Join other motivated learners on your Chinese learning journey with maayot.
