Humility is regarded a kind of politeness in China, moreover, it's a tactic to avoid being assaulted. So, when you talk to the Chinese, you'll loss your sense sometimes. A popular joke can express this situation:
A foreigner talks to a guy, politely praising his wife is beautiful. This guy says, 哪里哪里（where where, in Chinese it means not at all for a humble attitude)。This foreigner looks this guy's wife from top to toes, replies: "anywhere".😂😜
哪里哪里 in Chinese means "It's not", is used as a humble attitude.😉
