When talking about Xiamen people, we cannot fail to talk about Xiamen dialect.
When I first heard Xiamen dialect, it was hard for me to accept it!
In one sentence, it makes you feel like it is both Japanese and ancient Chinese.
"Eating" is called "fake collapse"!
!
"Whatever" is called "green vegetables"!
!
!
"Get off the car" turned out to be "Lecha"!
!
!

How funny!
It wasn’t until someone introduced me later that I learned that Hokkien is the “living fossil of ancient Chinese.” It is the most complete inheritance of ancient Chinese among the various dialects across the country. No wonder people call “How” “An”.
"Why?" The most interesting thing is that once, when I went shopping, a lady from a clothing store saw me trying on a piece of clothing and immediately said with a big smile: "You're tight."
"What? What does it matter to you?" I thought to myself.
When she saw me staring at her blankly, she immediately changed her words and said, "Oh, you don't know Xiamen dialect? I mean you are very beautiful!" That's it!
But her blunt Mandarin still puzzled me: Just say that I "can't understand Xiamen dialect". What does "can't understand" mean? It's really confusing, but in the end I came to the conclusion: Xiamen people
Very cute indeed!
Not only are they cute, they are also very respectable.
Once I took a bus and there were no seats left, so I had to stand.
While I was still immersed in the cleanliness of the car and the beautiful scenery outside, an old man came up, and someone immediately offered his seat to him. The old man thanked me and sat down happily.
I thought it was new, but others in the car didn’t think so!
Then I started to observe and found that as soon as an elderly person or pregnant woman got on the bus, someone would immediately give up their seat to them.
