I look at myself in the mirror when I wash my face and get dressed before I go to work in the morning. I wanna make sure I look good and professional, part of my daily routine. Or when I’m done in the restroom, when I wash my hands, I sometimes use a tissue to remove the oil on my face, you know, I have oily skin, my face can get a bit too shiny sometimes.
2. Have you ever bought mirrors?

Yes, I have. About a year ago when I moved home, there wasn’t a dressing mirror in the new apartment, my wife said we needed one, so I went and bought one online. She didn’t like it. She often complained that she looked fat in that mirror. We ended up throwing it away when we moved again, it was just too bulky and wasn’t worth that much.
3.Do you usually take a mirror with you?

No, I don’t. I mean I do wanna look ok at all times and pay attention to my appearance, but I don’t think I need to take a mirror with me. If I have already checked that I look fine in the mirror at home before leaving for work, then there’s no need to check again. Besides, like I said, there’s a mirror in the restroom at my office that I can use anytime.
4.Would you use mirrors to decorate your home?

Probably not. Some might say that if you have a small place, mirrors can help make the space look bigger. But we have this superstition in china that you wanna avoid having many mirrors in your home, especially in your bedroom. It is believed that mirrors can suck up your Chi, or your soul and weaken you physically and mentally. Ghosts are said to hide in mirrors. Basically, mirrors are like a bad omen in one’s home.
