  • A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore
    genealogy Article Challenges and Strategies for Promoting Children’s Education: A Comparative Analysis of Chinese Immigrant Parenting in the United States and Singapore Min Zhou 1,* and Jun Wang 2 1 Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095-1551, USA 2 School of Social Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 639818, Singapore; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 18 February 2019; Accepted: 11 April 2019; Published: 15 April 2019 Abstract: Confucian heritage culture holds that a good education is the path to upward social mobility as well as the road to realizing an individual’s fullest potential in life. In both China and Chinese diasporic communities around the world, education is of utmost importance and is central to childrearing in the family. In this paper, we address one of the most serious resettlement issues that new Chinese immigrants face—children’s education. We examine how receiving contexts matter for parenting, what immigrant parents do to promote their children’s education, and what enables parenting strategies to yield expected outcomes. Our analysis is based mainly on data collected from face-to-face interviews and participant observations in Chinese immigrant communities in Los Angeles and New York in the United States and in Singapore. We find that, despite different contexts of reception, new Chinese immigrant parents hold similar views and expectations on children’s education, are equally concerned about achievement outcomes, and tend to adopt overbearing parenting strategies. We also find that, while the Chinese way of parenting is severely contested in the processes of migration and adaptation, the success in promoting children’s educational excellence involves not only the right set of culturally specific strategies but also tangible support from host-society institutions and familial and ethnic social networks.

More specifically, despite the fact that leading Chinese business elites were mobilized by the nationalist calls to confront Japanese interests, not only Japanese agents but also some Chinese were targeted.

  • A Southern Breeze – Music of the Min Nan Chinese
    ! MEDIA RELEASE For Immediate Release A Southern Breeze《闽南乡韵》 City Chinese Orchestra Tells the Story of Chinese Singaporeans 18 August 2013 (Sunday) ! 5:00pm ! Esplanade Concert Hall SINGAPORE—Tapping into its unique role and identity as a Singaporean Chinese Orchestra, City Chinese Orchestra (CCO) presents the experience of Chinese Singaporeans in A Southern Breeze: Music of the Min Nan Chinese—and it promises to resonate strongly with Singapore audiences. A Southern Breeze will feature musical works that tell the story of the Min Nan (or Hokkien) Chinese, from its origins to the present day. Works like The Fog Obscures the Southern Seas 《雾锁南洋》and Longing for Reunion《乡音寄怀》are modern classics that capture the courage and spirit of early emigrants from China, while the newly commissioned piece by Lu Liang-hui, Celebrating in the Lion City《欢乐的狮城》, describes the colourful diversity and character that is Singapore today. Adding texture to the concert are popular ditties familiar to Hokkien-speakers like Dark Skies《天乌乌)》, as well as pieces that speak to the enduring spirit of the Chinese, like erhu concerto Song of the Li Tune《丽歌行》. “A sizable portion of Singapore’s Chinese population are of Hokkien descent, and today, Singaporeans from all walks of life and from all races have some association with Min Nan language and culture. In this concert, CCO is not only paying tribute to the Min Nan culture, but to also to Singapore, whose language and culture have been indelibly influenced by our ancestors from Southern China,” said Dr. Tay Teow Kiat, CCO’s founding music director and conductor for the concert.
