I write Far from China as an exploration of the Overseas Chinese experience.
We’re born Chinese, in places far from China.
We are Chinese but we aren’t from China. A blurry bifurcation that’s hard to delineate.
Themes explored
- What’s it like being Chinese in the UK, Jamaica, Mexico, Spain, Peru and more
- What is our relationship to China?
- How does it feel to go to Hong Kong/Mainland China/Taiwan as an Overseas Chinese?
- Is learning Chinese important for Overseas Chinese?
