The latter hit the point .I can't agree with more.
No matter where we are, we Chinese is alaways Chinese. Going abroad is just a tool or instrument to make a better life for ourself . I have a dreaem that China someday be the NO.1--Tang001--盛唐

本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛At least the law says discriminations against race, age, gender etc. are
prohibited. You select Canada as your new home, permanently or temporarily,
you have the rights to be equal to other members in this land and (I think)
you have no reason to say it's not my home. It is true that the reality is
not always as good as what stated in the great legal documents. But at
least you are eititled to the rights you deserve. I went to the recent
fedaral vote, not because I thought my single vote would decide the winner,
but because it is my right. Unfortunately, my candidate lost.

This country allow people to have a say on its policies. So why not unite
together, form a force, and fight for the correctness in this new land.
We Chinese new immigrants can be, and should be a force in the society,
to build a better Canada for all of us, for people from China, from
Africa, from Europe. Merge into the society, be a part of it.

Talking about "merge", I would say, it is not about how fluent your
English is, what you dress, where you live or how many "Canadian",
"American" friends you have, its how you view yourself in the society.
Do you participate in Voluntary social activities, do you care what
happen in your community, do you put forward your opinion and do anything
to influence it.

There is a different view on the Jew's experience - what if they have
much stronger political power in the countries they live? How Isarel can
survive while surrounded by hostile Arabian countries? No one will
neglect the US's support backed by the Jewish influencing groups in the
US political circle.

We need not to be ashamed of being Chinese, nor should we feel superior
than people of other ethnic backgrounds. No one has the right to look
down upon you since you are not saying "I will go back to China." Only
the aboriginals can say Canada is their native land, all other immigrants
are equal in this sense.

Why separate yourself from Canada? Does it do good to anyone/any country
by saying "I just hold Canadian citizenship, I don't want really to be
a 'Canadian'", especially when there is no conflict of interest between
the two nations. Even if some day, because of some stupid politician's
stupid decision, being a Canadian citizen, you have to right to express
your will and by uniting other good people, you will have the chance to
influence government decisions. Is this better than only saying "I'm a
Chinese, I will go home some day" ? Many Chinese Canadians love our
motherland no less than anyone else on this forum. I still remember the
organizers of the Protest Agains US/NATO bombing of Chinese Ambassy in
Yogoslovakia are Cantonese-speaking "old" immigrants.

I think we Chinese in Canada should aim high in the society, more than
just make a better life, we need to consider how to become a power in
the society and catch our future in our own hands.更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net

中国永远是个令人眷恋的地方，无论走到哪里。但是，或许从你离开家乡，在外地读书，或者工作，一步步的，更深的品尝外文化的冲击。其本质上是一样的。这种本土文化的分离，让我在踏上北美的土地前，就已经感伤不已。但我会让西人认识、欣赏真正的中国人，理解比浅薄的西方文化深刻的多的中国文化。
各种各样的人因为种种原因会离开故土，但也带来了文化的交流，既然是自由人，就应该有
选择生活方式的权利。可以有不同的尝试。想一想，写出这样脍炙人口的诗句的人，现在还有多少？

i think one person never forget his/her mother and homeland, that's basic virtue. I hope we will have a bright and wealthy life in Canada, but we sould not forget who we are and where we are from, that's our roof......I never forget all these in my lifetime, although it is poor and in chaos. I go abroad just for my ideal to strengthen China, of couse as well as including myself.

in his human figure. He took his acquizition of a JAPANESE car as a proud.
"很庆幸来到加拿大,我愿意为它贡献自己的青春和才智.然他更强盛,我已经买好日本车
了,打算明年看看是否可以买房子,在中国,这些事情都是下辈子的事情. "
I think the guy is deserved to be treated like that in China and he will be
treated the same in Canada again. People like that will not succeed in anywhere.
He doesn't have what we called Gu2 Qi4. A Chinese driving a Japanese car is,
if not sad, definetely not a proud. He talks too much bad of China, which is
not fair.

"在中国,我结婚的时候,可怜我的妻子和我一起住在集体宿舍半年,几次找领导,都说老同
志都没有解决.." Yes, it is not good. But it is not valid to use that as an evident
that Canada is better than china in this respect. Who gives you a free place
to live in Canada? Is that a people who gives you a small place is worse than
a people who gives you nothing?

I feel sorry for him. Poor guy.
