1. Introduction
Interpersonal relationship, an association that happens in the course of physical contact and spiritual interactions between two or more people, includes kinship, friendship, marriage and relations of associates. Sociologists defined it as a social relationship built in the process of production and social life activities, while psychologists defined it as a direct psychological connection in the interaction process. Influenced by social, cultural, and other factors, people in different countries have different cognitions of interpersonal relationship. In western countries, interpersonal relationship is characterized by freedom, equality, simplicity, and independence, while in eastern countries, it is characterized by virtue and morality. With the globalization in recent decades, cultural conflicts in cross-cultural communication seem to be unavoidable.
