Different from Chinese people, traditionally, we Americans work because it is the will of God, and we often value the results and accomplishments of work more than its process.
I really appreciate the devotion and commitment that the Chinese people have shown in their work. I think most Chinese view their work as essential for having membership in a community.
They believe that work allows them to have the sense of belonging to a community. In other words, work is necessary for them to gain social acceptance in the society.
That is why many Chinese managers and employees work so hand to maintain their positions in their companies. Also, they see work as the most important thing in life. That is, they have tried to find the meaning of life through their jobs.
