Duck and cover
Unlike in the West, getting sun-tanned for a Chinese woman is a real tragedy. For comparison, it's as if you suddenly got pimples all over your face. Imagine what a shame it is. Everyone would think that you're sun-tanned because you're from a village and work in the field. And all the money you spent on countless whitening creams is wasted for nothing.
So if you left your umbrella at home, and you get suddenly attacked by the bright sun, you have to find something to cover with, and better find it quickly. Like a plastic washbowl, for example.
