    NZCA Auckland Branch Newsletter for April 2018 Chairman's message Welcome to our winter edition of the Auckland Branch newsletter. We are now past the shortest day of the year so summer and warmer weather at least is on its way. Last weekend a contingent of Auckland committee members spent the weekend in Wellington at the NZCA 70th Annual Conference to discuss new initiatives and to network with the 13 other NZCA Branches from around the country. We are a long-standing organization that represents the Chinese community in NZ and I am humbled to be elected the National President for NZCA. I would like to congratulate our Branch Secretary Monica Mu who was re-elected as the NZCA National Chinese Language Secretary. David Wong was nominated for the NZCA Vice President role but due to commitments in the next 12 months withdrew from the election. One of David’s new commitments is his new role as a Justice of the Peace- congratulations David. The annual academic awards were announced at the annual conference. We are proud of our own Calvin Fraser who has won an NZCA Head Office Scholarship of $1000 in recognition of his outstanding academic marks in 2017.

Hi Tung Jung Members Trust this newsletter finds you all well. In the past few months in Wellington, we have experienced a huge storm with wind gusts exceeding the Wahine storm and causing much damage and disruption to our city. On top of this we were hit with a number of earthquakes which really shook us up and left us wondering when the proverbial Big One would come. It was however good for the supermarkets because everyone stocked up on bottled water, candles, canned foods, batteries and torches. OK for some? Midwinter Seniors’ Yum Cha In June the Association held a Midwinter Seniors Yum Cha at Dragon Restaurant. It was well attended by over 60 members.

  • Pai Lou Gateway. Chinese Gardens, Dunedin. N.Z
    Fact Sheet: Background Pioneer Chinese at Dunedin’s Southern Cemetery The earliest date of burial, still readable in the Chinese section of the Southern Cemetery, is 1877. The majority of burials took place in the 1880s and 1890s. From the 1920s it is likely that burials took place at the Andersons Bay Cemetery. Unlike Europeans whose burial plots might contain a large number of members of one family, Chinese pioneer burials involved the burial of one person in one grave. There is reason to believe considerable numbers of Chinese were buried in the Southern Cemetery from 1871 but these individuals have no headstones. One grave in the general section of the cemetery indicates Pong One Kay (shown left) died in 1870. He was born in Jung Seng County, Sar Boy Village. His age is not known. Nor do we know anything further of this man. From 1877, or thereabouts, a special area was set aside for Chinese burials. In 1985 when the Genealogy Society undertook a transcription of the Chinese section of the cemetery there were some 114 headstones that could be identified. It was estimated then that there could be up to 100 burials in this area alone. An accurate plan of Chinese burials with block and plot numbers has never existed. An official cemetery plan shows that Bock 114 was a Chinese area and an extension of this has no Block numbers. It is assumed that the extension area is Blocks 113 and 112. A map of the area is available as a student worksheet. The burial register contains Chinese records, chronologically recorded with all other burials.

  • The Bone Feeder Commissioned by Auckland Arts Festival and Presented in Association with New Zealand Opera
    Media release **STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 10AM SATURDAY 5 NOVEMBER, 2016** THE BONE FEEDER COMMISSIONED BY AUCKLAND ARTS FESTIVAL AND PRESENTED IN ASSOCIATION WITH NEW ZEALAND OPERA DATES: 23-25 March, 2017 VENUE: ASB Waterfront Theatre COMPOSER GARETH FARR LIBRETTO RENEE LIANG DIRECTOR SARA BRODIE CONDUCTOR PETER SCHOLES MŌTEATEA HONE HURIHANGANUI SET DESIGN JOHN VERRYT COSTUME DESIGN ELIZABETH WHITING LIGHTING DESIGN JANE HAKARAIA VIOLIN JUSTINE CORMACK CELLO ASHLEY BROWN MARIMBA REBECCA CELEBUSKI TAONGA PUORO JAMES WEBSTER ERHU DR NICHOLAS NG GUZHENG XI YAO CHEN ...this land has grown into me, and I into the land. This soil where I stand, this is my land now. When the bones of Chinese wanderers float, lost on the vast black of the sea and then come to rest on the shores of the Hokianga, they become embedded in the spirit and memory of the Harbour, entwined in a story that soars across lands and oceans, deep into the heart of who we all are. The Bone Feeder is a stunning new New Zealand opera, beautifully and imaginatively scored by Gareth Farr (Ruaumoko, From the Depths Sound the Great Sea Gongs) with libretto by poet and playwright Renee Liang, that explores the mysteries, traumas and gifts of migration, home and belonging. A young New Zealand Chinese man searching for his roots is guided by a magical cicada and Māori Ferryman. He crosses to 'the other side', where ghosts reveal secrets of love, loss and betrayal. His attempt to uncover his ancestor's bones disturbs the earth and, ultimately, threatens his life. The Bone Feeder is inspired by the story of the SS Ventnor, which, in 1902, set out carrying the bones of nearly 500 Chinese men who had died in New Zealand.

  • Strategic Representations of Chinese Cultural Elements in Maxine Hong Kingston's and Amy Tan's Works
    School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts When Tiger Mothers Meet Sugar Sisters: Strategic Representations of Chinese Cultural Elements in Maxine Hong Kingston's and Amy Tan's Works Sheng Huang This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University December 2017 Declaration To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: …………………………………………. Date: ………………………... i Abstract This thesis examines how two successful Chinese American writers, Maxine Hong Kingston and Amy Tan, use Chinese cultural elements as a strategy to challenge stereotypes of Chinese Americans in the United States. Chinese cultural elements can include institutions, language, religion, arts and literature, martial arts, cuisine, stock characters, and so on, and are seen to reflect the national identity and spirit of China. The thesis begins with a brief critical review of the Chinese elements used in Kingston’s and Tan’s works, followed by an analysis of how they created their distinctive own genre informed by Chinese literary traditions. The central chapters of the thesis elaborate on how three Chinese elements used in their works go on to interact with American mainstream culture: the character of the woman warrior, Fa Mu Lan, who became the inspiration for the popular Disney movie; the archetype of the Tiger Mother, since taken up in Amy Chua’s successful book Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother; and Chinese style sisterhood which, I argue, is very different from the ‘sugar sisterhood’ sometimes attributed to Tan’s work.

  • Picturing Chinese Settlement in New Zealand
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. PICTURING CHINESE SETTLEMENT IN NEW ZEALAND A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters in Design at Massey University, Wellington, New Zealand. by Kerry Ann Lee 2008 ABSTRACT Since the first gold-seekers arrived in New Zealand in the 1860s, Chinese have been regarded as outsiders to discussions of national identity. Colonial representations of otherness have left Chinese longing to be recognised as established settlers. Fresh interpretations are much needed to align myth with the longstanding realities of settlement. The absence of a recognisable Chinatown in New Zealand has meant that many of the Chinese customs inherited from the first settlers are observed in private within the family home. This condition coupled with emerging research and exposure on the topic offers a chance to define Chinese spaces and author Chinese stories from within a local community. This research project interrogates the transformation of Cantonese settlers into Chinese New Zealanders through illustration design. By claiming the book as a space, unsung moments of settlement are made visible to challenge stereotypes and forge a new space for Chinese New Zealand stories. The process of collage is used to illustrate the complexities of constructing identity. Home Made is an alternative cultural history told through visual metaphor. Gold was responsible for first transforming the sojourner into the settler, the bowl is used to mediate tradition between home and enterprise in settlement, while the lantern illuminates and celebrates local Chinese spaces.

And to Pino, my brother, for the shoulder he lent me when all hope was lost. AcknowledgementsAcknowledgements* Many people have contributed to this dissertation. I am especially grateful to Carles Prado-Fonts, my advisor, for his guidance, his encouragement, and his incredible helpfulness, and for believing in this project from the very beginning to the very end, even when I doubted. I am particularly indebted to , Carles Brasó, Montse Crespín, Begonya Enguix, Maialen Marín, David Martinez, and Xavier Ortells, colleagues and friends at the Seminari ALTER – Crisi, alteritat i representació, based at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya (UOC). The seminars, conversations and laughters had a great, positive impact on the entire research process. Professors and colleagues at the Deparment of Translation and Interpreting, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) and at the InterAsia Research Group of the same University have been especially helpful in these four years, and I could never thank them enough. The help of Anna Matamala, coordinator of the Doctoral Programme in Translation and Intercultural Studies, in solving a few last-minute bureaucratic problems was invaluable, as was Seán Golden's willingness to act as tutor of the present dissertation. I am also grateful to Cynthia Lytle, who honoured me with her friendship and shared her brilliant thoughts on many issues related to ethnicity and identity with me.
