The Interview On The Chinese Identity Of The Hong Kong

The CCP, throughout its history, has been committed to maintaining a permanent monopoly on its political power over China and eradicated other parties, such as the KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party). The CCP doesn’t tolerate citizens who oppose its right to rule. In China’s own constitution, it says that the CCP will

What I found to be the most interesting through my readings, and interview, is the amount of loyalty to family that Chinese Americans have. During the interview MiMi talked about her family, and the relationship she has with her family in China, and her family in America. She described her father’s dedication to family as the upmost important thing in the world. Many Chinese American families, no matter what their economic status, has a strong value on keeping the family intact, and close (Wang, N.D). I was unfamiliar with the family bond that Chinese Americans have. I could see the pride that MiMi’s grandmother had when talking about her children’s accomplishments, as well has her granddaughters. They showed me tons of pictures, and

Although one’s racial and ethnic identities are predetermined due to genetics, attachment to a particular culture is not a birthright; one has to accept and understand the community in order to fully identify with it. When Robert Chang writes “one is not born Asian American, one becomes one”, he means just that. In Chang’s opinion, having Asian blood and living on American soil is not sufficient to call oneself Asian American, but the connection to the community allows one claim to the title.

Many new arrivals still struggle to survive and often Chinese Americans still encounter suspicion and hostility. Chinese Americans have achieved great success and now, like so many others, they are stitching together a new American identity. As Michelle Ling, a young Chinese American, tells Bill Moyers in Program 3, “I get to compose my life one piece at a time, however I feel like it. Not to say that it’s not difficult and that there isn’t challenge all the time, but more than material wealth, you get to choose what you are, who you are.” (www.pbs.org)

In the documentary “Becoming American- The Chinese Experience” We are shown the history of many Chinese- American immigrants in the united states. We are also shown our on nations past history focusing on the dark part of history. This documentary describes in detail the journey of the first chinese- America immigrants into the united states and their descendants.

Another question arises: what is a “narrative of ethnicity” in diasporic context? Choy explains how immigrants are to preserve their ethinic identity, yet they adapt to their social context. The children feel the same resentment and distaste for Chinese. Jook-Liang forces herself to speak English at home in her efforts to be more like Shirley Temple. She speaks to herself in English while practicing her dance routine (Choy, 36) and uses it as a tool to feel less Chinese. The children have jarring associations to learning and speaking

Hong Kongers protest procession to “kick” out all mainland Chinese. They call the visitors from the mainland as “locust”. I know what mainland Chinese done is wrong, but that does not represent everyone will do the same things. Due to this contradiction, Hong Kongers start to give tourist nasty looks if they speak Mandarin. Some Hong Kongers will discriminate and abuse, force innocent visitors to open their suitcases to show what they brought in Hong Kong! Even though Hong Kong’s reversion to China occurs, a lot of local residents still despise Mandarin and simplified Chinese characters. Hong Kongers believe they have their own culture, currency and system. They have all the requirements to build a country, thus they don’t want mainland China to step in or get involve with them. Although I have not experienced this bias behaviors directly, I still this kind of discrimination should be

     The focus of our group project is on Chinese Americans. We studied various aspects of their lives and the preservation of their culture in America. The Chinese American population is continually growing. In fact, in 1990, they were the largest group of Asians in the United States (Min 58). But living in America and adjusting to a new way of life is not easy. Many Chinese Americans have faced and continue to face much conflict between their Chinese and American identities. But many times, as they adapt to this new life, they are also able to preserve their Chinese culture and identity through various ways. We studied these things through the viewing of a movie called Joy Luck Club,

First, I will interview Chinese immigrants, which promotes my identity formation because we share two similarities. The first similarity is that we all came from China, and the second one is that we all need to face the challenges to adjust our habits and lifestyles to Canada. As a Chinese student that has been living in Montreal for only 2 months, I do not know how to accustom myself to Canadian society. Since they have already figured out what to do in this situation, I consider them as my role models. I can develop life skills and develop my self-identity by copying their behaviors. I struggled frequently with social activities here because I can not find my feet in Canadian communities. One of the explorations under the global context of "Identities and Relationships" which relates to my project is "human relationships, including families, friends, communities and culture." By interviewing Chinese immigrants, I can learn what their relationships to Canadian society

Bella Adams discusses these problems in relationships between generation gaps in “Identity-in-difference: Re-generating Debate about Intergenerational Relationships in Amy Tan’s ‘The Joy Luck Club.’” Adams agrees that relationships between mother and daughter are difficult but vital to understanding one’s identity. In “Diasporic Self, Cultural Other: Negotiating Ethnicity through Transformation in the Fiction of Tan and Kingston” Li Zeng notes, “The assurance of self-definition through connecting with her cultural roots is Jing-Mei Woo’s resolution to her ethnic dilemma” (7). When Jin-Mei is staying in the hotel she says she finally feels what her mother meant by “activating” her “genes” and “becoming Chinese” (Tan, 270). She does not feel this sort of primal connection to her Chinese culture until she is immersed in it.

No one can deny from recent news that there has been a strong surge of Chinese nationalism, and that this nationalism has turned heads in the international community. The nationalism that the CCP has affected is taking on a life of its own. In its strategy of pragmatic nationalism, the CCP tried to blur the lines between love of country with love of the state and governing body. What has resulted is a whole new breed of nationalism that is very much independent of the Chinese Communist Party and in fact has caused the CCP great concern. This new form of nationalism is much more vibrant, passionate, virulent and uncontrollable than the government had intended with its post 1989 strategy of obtaining legitimacy through nationalism. This

According to scientists, there has been human activity on Hong Kong since the Neolithic and Paleolithic eras. However, the earliest recorded European man to travel there was a Portuguese man named Jorge Álvares who did not travel there until 1513. For many thousands of years, Hong Kong was subjected to the rule of the dynastic China. However, Britain gained the land of Hong Kong after defeating the Chinese army in the Opium Wars. Today, Hong Kong has a democratic government modeled very much after the British one. How did it get there? Why is it democratic? Why isn’t it included in the Chinese government?

Percy Craddock, British Ambassador to China, to pass on to Premier Zhao Ziyang. The letter consented to explore Chinese proposals for Hong Kong’s administration. “In this first breakthrough, the British found an effective method to push forward the talks with the Chinese, through communications between the top leaders. By adding a channel of communication above the negotiating table, the British found a shortcut to win Chinese concessions by directly appealing to the people who had the final say.” (482 asymmetry).

Globalization means to develop or be developed to make possible international influence or operation. Hong Kong has been going through many changes recently which is slowly forcing them to globalize. The globalization of Hong Kong was a key series of events that has taken place in recent years that has significantly changed how Hong Kong has developed. Hong Kong has seen changes in their food culture, global customs and various western products have massively affected their Chinese culture in more ways than one.

There is a large diversity of people in Hong Kong because it continuously expands in economy and market. This of course, is a big advantage to our industry because although Precious Gems and Stones came in second to the Electronic equipment industries with a high dollar value of $82.4 billion and each export percentage share of 15.7% in terms of global shipments during 2014, the Precious Gems and Stones industry was the fastest growing among the top 10 export categories. It went up 161.1% for the 5-year period which started in 2010. It was also propelled by international sales of unwrought gold and unset diamonds. (worldstopexport.com)
