Wow, I just realized I haven’t blogged here for a long time. Things have been quite busy lately. For those who have been waiting for me to post, I apologize for the idle state of my blog.
Anyway, I’ve been meaning to blog about this, but I haven’t had the chance to do so for the past week. I happened to stop by a website belonging to the Chinese Cultural Center in San Francisco that, according to the website, is “a major community-based, non-profit organization established in 1965 to foster the understanding and appreciation of Chinese and Chinese American art, history, and culture in the United States.”
On the website, there’s a particular article called “Mirror On the Wall: A Conversation Between American-born and Chinese Immigrants” that caught my attention, and within the audio podcast provided, I listened a facilitated community discussion between Chinese Americans and newcomers from China to share personal experiences and their own opinions on effective ways of establishing common ground via communication across different generations and backgrounds within the Chinese community.
