[quote=PINETREE,226263]I haven't written any thread of substance since the end of the Tumultous Period, circa end-April. Was feeling bored & when sieving through the Travel Reviews I came across an article by Kevin on Chinese Abroad. His observation prompted me to write this thread which I hope could spur some active response.As we know, beside the 1.3 bln people in China, there must be another mlns Chinese that have settled/borne overseas. I am 1 of them. I happen to be the 1st generation of overseas Chinese in my family - ie my parents were both borne in China & emigrated to SG before the War as teenagers looking for better food/survival. My father influenced me/siblings a great deal via stories of old China - on reflection now, I think he must've missed his homeland very much then.Undoubtedly, I have certain strong feelings for China & SG(of cos). But what about other overseas Chinese ? What about China's Chinese - how do you view us overseas Chinese ? From your contacts with us, do u find us different from yourselves ?[/quote]
