Finally adapted to the culture and values of Western society, once returned to China under the call of opportunity, but do not want to encounter cultural turn indications, often referred to the "reverse culture clash." If a person is not suited to their own culture grew to become so-called "false foreign devil" and what is not a tragedy?
For those who left to work abroad to settle, their greatest tragedy is that, after an extraordinary effort to adapt to the Western culture, into the Western society, even after the problem myself thoroughly Westernized, one can never convergence: ethnic identity Confusion will accompany their life ......
Began in the mid-19th century, the Chinese people and to study the history of emigration, always intertwined with personal livelihood and development, and national salvation and revival of these two themes. Guangdong coast of North America from the earliest to repair the railway laborers who go abroad their purpose is to sell their labor to earn money to survive. The late Qing government sent those eleven-year-old schoolchildren studying in the US, the fundamental motivation is because: history come that time, the Chinese empire has been unable to seclusion, not to learn and open to the West, in fact, has no way out!
This began in the mid-nineteenth century, the tide of history related to personal and national survival and the rise and fall over the past two decades, has reached a new climax. However, compared with the actual needs, the number of Chinese people to the world and scale, we can say only just begun! In the next one or two years, China will become the world's most powerful country's comprehensive national strength, and with this great history into synch, is the Chinese people to the world through a variety of ways forward, the process of integration with the world. That is, to the world of contemporary young people learn, with the world, the process of challenge to the world!
Between laughing, Chinese people going abroad motives and objectives have changed radically. Simply put, going abroad has become an increasingly important means of knowledge of Chinese intellectuals studying abroad to return to Chinese society, to participate in international competition, rather than looking for "living paradise" channel. After joining the WTO, China and the world to compete in the final analysis is to know the rules of international competition between international talent.
However, the Chinese people to the world of the road, never covered with flowers, but thorny, full of loss and dislocation personal life. On the one hand, young people for the future of the individual and the state, the need to go abroad to seek knowledge; on the other hand, gave abroad abroad, bringing significant challenge even the crisis: for the future, and now tend to be rejected; for unknown success, often have to give up already Some achievement. When I finally got to see many of the lucky ones riding on the success of international flights fly to the sky, I see it is bumpy, muddy trail in front of them. This is the New Oriental students who are struggling to focus on contemporary youth frustration and paradox.
What is one of the biggest pitfalls of overseas friends to pay a heavy price, the biggest pitfalls they may encounter in life, or affect their happiness in life is it? In my opinion, that is, everyone can not be avoided in the cultural conflict. Not completely "into the" Western culture, you can not survive in the local development, even to return, you can not be regarded as "studies" students returned ── most important mission, not the technology, but to grasp another civilization and dissemination.
So you learn. But finally adapted to the culture and values of Western society, once returned to China under the call of opportunity, but do not want to encounter cultural turn indications, often referred to the "reverse culture clash." If a person is not suited to their own culture grew to become so-called "false foreign devil" and what is not a tragedy?
So you're not home. But for those who remain friends working abroad to settle, their greatest tragedy is that, after an extraordinary effort to adapt to the Western culture, into the Western society, and even after that they could completely westernized, one can never converged question: Race identity confusion will accompany their lives. Racial differences, is the core, the mother of civilization clash of cultural identity. Is almost impossible to coordinate, the initial value of the integration.
Let me give two classic examples to prove my pessimism for racial integration: Ms. Adrienne Clarkson Governor General of Canada, in the 1950s came to Canada from Hong Kong, the first generation of immigrants. Although she herself did not see themselves as Chinese people, such as her name is: Adrian Clarckson, using the surname of her ex-husband, but then she became governor, the Chinese media still cheering for her brilliant representative of Chinese politics ─ ─ In this example, the Chinese community to one with his own blood-related, but the culture is not the same person as the one of us. Governor Wu embarrassment is eternal. (Because Clarkson has not agreed to communicate with the Chinese community, the Chinese community in Clarkson found himself not interested nauseating after he told her to take a lukewarm attitude ── Xu Xiaoping and exclusion raises in 2005)
Another example is the only one on the US Congress Chinese Members David Wu. He was invited in May 2001 speech to the US Department of Energy, to the door onto trains impartially by the guards at the door, repeatedly asked whether he was an American citizen, he took out a permit Members to no avail. The Chinese politics in the United States makes a proud symbol of the characters feel lost ...... Inside the case, as thoroughly Americanized and climb so high in the congressman David Wu, a non-Chinese ethnic encounter, or can be said that the mainstream community "Another eye" view. Mr Wu's distress is profound. ,
Adrienne Clarkson or DavidWu, they are already at the pinnacle of Chinese Western society. Happened to them in these two stories, the most classic confirms a topic I want to express: the Chinese living overseas, may be able to get all the material and cause, but there is one thing lacking was doomed: Based on the national and Chinese ethnicity and cultural environment. Chinese lose this environment, no matter how successful you are, no matter how rich you are, some people feel their lives will always be a huge gap. ,
In order to survive and develop, the Chinese had to leave home to find a way back to the well to overseas. However, the vast Chinese population, vast Chinese homeland, a tremendous impact on Chinese culture, so that overseas Chinese have a very different from other immigrant groups of features: This is the descendants of the globe at the basis of race and culture of consensus. This identity, and when everyone in the country when, reflecting a harmonious and fulfilling the survival of the state (such as national consensus cheering successful bid, Carnival World Cup qualifying); when people go to a foreign country, then exhibits a spirit of mutual rely on and support.
Overseas Chinese, no matter in what capacity, what state of mind they will always rely on Chinese culture is the conscious awareness of Asian homeland. Different people this identity psychological assessments and opinions are not the same, it was praise it, some people dislike it. Nevertheless, it will always be stationed overseas Chinese in the depths of the soul.
