Yes， Zhihu is like a Chinese version Quora. I do not know why others come here to express their opinions. For me, because I feel it is rude and inappropriate to send a email to the author, that is why I choose HN for seeking the answers(Hoping author may read my questions and answer me). About Zhihu, I would say more commercial than Quora, reddit and HN. A lot pepole run their account as business, for example write novels, sale clothes, psychological counseling... And there are a lot high educated people answer questions from many different fields. Otherwise most Chinese would not even realize this paper in Science.

Because this topic is becoming one of the hottest topic in Chinese ask and answer platform “zhihu”. I realized some answers mentioned this website because one of the authors in paper answers some questions. The answers from the author of the paper enraged us，because his explainnation was ridiculous and full of prejudice. As a email unfriendly country, even though Chinese may have email address, it doesn’t mean we want to use it in normal life. Besides, as far as I know, most people work in recipotions do not even have a email from the work place. Another answer is about japan， it is even more ridiculous. China and japan share a similar culture, the authors exclude japan because they found people will give the wallet to police booth. In china we usually give the wallet to lost and found box. I do not see the difference between police office and the box at all. Those are the main questions Chinese want to ask, and we need a answer. Sorry for leaving so many similar comments below this topic, but we want a reasonable answer.

May I ask you have investigate those things:1:Does workers in receptions have a email? Is it better to leave multiple communication ways?(as far as I know, net communication is a separate department in China) 2:I realized that you are considering the language problem, why don’t you use local language?(I believe most of your wallets receptors Understand English, but it’s not meaning they could write a English letter). 3:could u explain why didn’t receive email lead to dishonesty? To Chinese culture, just like japan, leave the lost things in a certain place is a common thing. The real dishonest is: you come back to the desk and can not the wallet back. Chinese is very passive in many ways( I confirmedly admit that), but call it dishonesty is ridiculous，especially you include none of Chinese culture-relative country in the paper.

Could you tell me where is the response to all those similar questions? If the authors don’t reply, it is reasonable to keep asking. 1:Chinese only use email for business issues, the SI data from the paper ignores the fact that most workers in reception do not have email.And they may could understand and speak easy English, but they could not write a email. Why the author do not use local language and multiple communication ways? It could exclude the language and communication variables.(I realize that non-english speaking country have relatively low scores).2:It is a culture thing that we used to leave the wallet in a certain place, just like japan did. But author just excluded japan off the paper? The truth is, there is no countries in this paper contain a Chinese culture-relative country, it is typical double standards. If you could explain those two questions well, I believe there would be no similar comments at all.

It is because this paper is on one of the biggest question and answer platform “zhihu”, almost everyone feel ridiculous and angry about this paper. So before you think about conspiracy theories， please think about why all Chinese rely similar answers——because it is unfair and double standards(compare to japan). Also, I believe it is so easy to modify the so called “ wallet “, using local languages, leave multiple communication ways, check whether researchers could get wallets back from the desk...It is hard to not believe those authors are woking for political purposes.
