Life is as fragile as duckweed in a storm


Old Chinese proverb.
Just got back from being in China on business, and after several trips there over the last few months I feel I am starting to understand the Chinese way. 
Before I started going there I was told of the importance that the Chinese place on relationships and connections. It's usually described as 'guanxi'. But it's more than about relationships - in fact we probabaly don't have a Western word to describe what it is. It's more about a feeling between people, and I think I'm just starting to understand it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanxi
