[quote=CHYNAGYRL,244333]Most ABC's cannot read or write Chinese... unless they go to study in a Chinese-speaking country. My parents came to Canada thirty-five years ago, so what they know of China is from their childhood (ie 1950s 1960s China). China thirty or fourty years ago was very different from today's China. So what immigrant parents teach their kids is a more traditional form of Chinese culture old-school than what modern Chinese people see today in China. that's my guess at why some places preserved Chinese culture seemingly better than even on the mainland. I don't know if people can ever disconnect themselves completely from their heritage. Some people try, some people don't care about their heritage. But i want to embrace my heritage, because it enriches my life. I am first of all Canadian, and then secondly Chinese..[/quote]
