    In Jen Sookfong Lee’s The End of East, the dreams and hardships of three generations of Chinese Canadians settled in Vancouver are explored profoundly. One dominant notion that is ever present is what leaving home symbolizes for Seid Quan – the first immigrant, Pon Man – his immigrant son and his youngest Canadian born granddaughter, Samantha. Leaving home for Samantha not only meant freedom from her own family, but also facing similar adversities like making countless sacrifices and enduring numerous obligations which both Seid Quan and Pon Man underwent as well. Although they are generations apart, they lived their lives in parallel lines; however, since they were not at ease with their own identities, they could not communicate with each other past their differences.…

    Searching for a new solution to their problem, Chinese immigrants came to Canada with hope. Canada was known as a source of opportunity and a place to build a family. What Chinese immigrants didn’t know was how they would be treated once they got here and the struggles there would be to stay in Canada. Did Canada ever stop to think about what it was doing for its reputation? The discrimination that Chinese immigrants faced while they were here in the 19th century was unbelievable, and that even to this day it has almost been forgotten is quite sad for the history of Canada. Chinese Immigrants came to Canada in search of opportunity but instead they found hard work, discrimination and inequality. Among many factors that encouraged the Chinese…

    Nicholas Moey. Ashley Scott Moey. Nicole Moey. These were all possibilities that never made the cut. Still a blob in my mother’s belly, they didn’t know yet whether I was a boy or a girl. My mother had this book filled with baby names and would randomly flip through until she found one that sounded “right” to her. The name “Nicholas” seemed to roll off her tongue just fine. A quick trip to the doctor’s office to find out the sex of the baby revealed that I was a girl pretty early on. Nicholas Moey was out of the question.…

    Chinatown has been one of Vancouver's main tourist attractions for decades due to the long and colourful history that came with it during the time of its creation. It is a place where multi-generation Chinese-Canadians celebrate and uphold their cultural identity. Despite having been known for its large crowds of people at one point, Chinatown is starting to decline due to fewer Chinese families visiting the area. In addition, some families may have dispersed into other Chinese commercial centres around the Lower Mainland. Through research and observations, we’ve discovered a few of the reasons behind Chinatown’s gradual decline. Some of the reasons behind it include the fact that the overall Chinese culture is dwindling as more Chinese families…

    What is Chineseness? What is Chinese identity? Does a universal “Chinesehood” exist? These are questions brought to the fore when I read the essay “What is China? Who is Chinese?” by Colin Mackerras. They are important because the answers may well shed light on the Chinese identity in general, not just confined to the border of the state called PRC, but stretching to other Chinese-dominated communities that have doubts and debates on Chinese identity of their people, e.g., overseas Chinese groups. This essay, due to the limit of words, will have a mere touch on the question of Chinese identity of the Chinese diaspora in the United States.…

    This article revolves about culture change and persistence in China. Since the 1949 Communist takeover in china, the central government has initiated variety of changes. Many of these changes were literally forced; people who resisted them were often resettled or jailed. Ancestor worship was also declared illegal. Some of the investigators did their studies about variability and similarity of Chinese family life. Most of them focused on the Han Chinese which dominated the Chinese population; investigators have also studied many of the 55 “recognized” minority cultures in China. Burton Pasternak, a U.S. sociologist, Janet Salaff, a Canadian sociologist and Chinese sociologists studied four communities of Han who had moved outside the Great Wall to colonize the Inner Mongolian frontier. The results of their study suggest that, despite strong pressures from the government, what changes or persists in a culture mainly reflects what is possible ecologically and economically. Although an increasing number of Han have become more like Mongols in their pastoral adaptations, many Mongols have adopted an urban way of life and moved away. As described by anthropologist William Janowiak, the result were not what the Chinese government intended. In many ways, to be sure, the urban Mongols had abandoned their traditional culture and assimilated to the dominant Han culture. Many Mongols in the city no longer speak the Mongol language. Parents find it difficult to get children to speak Mongol when they live among Han. The scarcity of housing makes it difficult for the Mongols to form an ethnic enclave, or even live near kin as they did in the past.…
