I felt the same way when I was listening to Professor Yan’s lecture. It’s hard to maintain a culture when you don’t live in it.

I would imagine a lot of our students feel the same way; many of my students are Latino, and their relationship to their families and culture varies. Some of them speak Spanish and feel connected to their culture, and others are embarrassed about their abilities to speak Spanish, but they don’t necessarily feel disconnected. I wonder if part of that connection is due to the fact that some of them visit often because they have family over there while going to China is not as easy since tickets are expensive.
