Saving face is important because it keeps relationships among people at a neutral level. It is the most respectful thing to do to protect one from losing face and humiliating themselves. So it makes sense when you want to have great relationships with multiple people. Your face is also a reflection of what your family has taught you. In China, a family is very collective, as opposed to in the United States, where a lot of family dynamics are individualistic.
Have you ever had a situation where you have tried to help a friend or family member save face? What are other ways you help your family?
