<think> Okay, the user asked, "how are you." Since I'm an AI, I don't have feelings, but I need to respond politely. I should start by thanking them and explaining my status. Mention that I'm here to help. Maybe add a friendly emoji to keep it warm. Also, remind them they can ask anything. Keep it concise but thorough. Check for clarity and make sure there's no markdown. Wait, the user's previous message was in Chinese, but the response is in English. Maybe they're bilingual. Should I switch languages? The user's current question is in English, so stick to English. Alright, that's good. </think>
