Why do the second and third generations of Chinese Americans look different from us Chinese?

1. Originally, the parents and ancestors of the second and third generation Chinese in many European and American countries were not very authentic Chinese, and they were not very good-looking either. They were considered unattractive among Chinese people. They are like the backward ethnic minorities in the poor ravines of Southeast Asia. They have not received Chinese education and culture, they do not have Chinese temperament, and some of them do not even know a single Chinese character. They all fled from China. In the past, people from small mountain villages and small fishing villages in the coastal areas of Zhejiang and Fujian were not very good-looking, uneducated, and had no skills. Some were laid off and unemployed, because life in China was already very difficult, there was no guarantee of life, and they could not survive. . They go abroad in droves to seek development and take desperate risks. Because of hard work and hard work, one generation after another, they finally worked as small vendors in Chinese shops and Chinese restaurants, becoming a small nouveau riche. However, because they are generally low-quality and uneducated, and their Mandarin is poor, some Chinese born in the 1960s do not even know Chinese characters. Therefore, education is generally not valued, so most second- and third-generation Chinese do not go to school well, and many drop out of junior high school. Then I help my parents with the store and do odd jobs. As immigrants, Asians often do not integrate well into foreign groups.

Many Chinese people living abroad, or their ancestors, were at the bottom of Chinese society at home, and they basically fled. Life is not good in China, and it is impossible to survive in the country's mountainous ravines and coastal areas. You can at least have something to eat when you go to a foreign country, and you can live a little better if you work hard. At least we don't have to be stuck in a ravine. Many cult leaders and magicians can no longer survive in China, so they go to European and American countries to spend money to buy honorary doctorates and honorary academician titles from XX University, and continue to cheat. The second and third generation Chinese are basically mixed groups of second and third generation Chinese. They are seriously out of touch with China and cannot see the temperament of the Chinese people at all. Their Chinese language is not dominant, and they do not understand all aspects of China's situation. The foreign language is their mother tongue, but it is only at the level of foreigners who have not gone to school much. Many second-generation Chinese have confused geography knowledge. They don’t even know that the Summer Palace is in Beijing, and they have never been to Beijing or other places in China. At most, they can go back to their hometown in the valley and visit the cities around their hometown. Only a small number of overseas Chinese are of high quality. Those with high quality are generally Ph.D.s assigned domestically and abroad, a few outstanding overseas students, Chinese staff of large domestic companies abroad, and embassy personnel. The second generation of Chinese people are very vain, have the exaggerated character of Westerners, are careless in doing things, and lack the meticulousness and rigor of Chinese people. Because they have been separated from China for a long time and have not been exposed to the real good side of China, they have never been to the capital of China, and they have not had in-depth contact with China’s cities, cultural atmosphere and life. Many people have not returned to China for more than 10 years. Their impressions of China Still stuck more than 50 years ago. There is a deep misunderstanding of China. There is no self-confidence as a Chinese. (Of course, most of them have foreign nationalities) They even like to belittle China in front of foreigners and curry favor with foreigners.

2. Because the second generation of Chinese cannot integrate into the local circle of foreigners, and they are not authentic Chinese (of course, their parents and grandparents may not have the Chinese temperament and cultural accomplishment, after all, Mandarin I can’t explain it clearly.), so their behavior, behavior and expressions are very different from those of the Chinese. They are more Westernized and have some feudal dross, superstitious and backward ideas. They almost only interact with people from their own family circle and Chinese circle. I also mix in the Chinese circle. It’s the same with foreigners, and they can’t integrate into foreign circles. After all, they are also labeled as Chinese, Chinese, and immigrants. The second and third generation Chinese have poor Chinese proficiency. They are basically at the level of children in the second grade of primary school. Their spoken Chinese is just mediocre, but they cannot speak deeply, use idioms, and even less well in writing. Basic Chinese literary literacy is zero.

3. Many second and third generation Chinese are of foreign nationality and are not Chinese at all. What about the temperament and appearance of Chinese people? Culturally, we are no longer Chinese. At most, they have an Asian face, but their dressing, speech, behavior, and temperament are completely Western, very Westernized, or neither Chinese nor Western. Anyway, they don’t have any good Chinese temperament, they don’t possess the traditional Chinese virtues, and they don’t understand etiquette, justice, and integrity. So even though they still have Asian faces, they don’t look Chinese, and they even feel they don’t look like them. The more they look, the less Chinese they look.
