The difficulty here is that for Shen “’I’ had often been identified with another ‘bad’ word, ‘individualism,’ which has become a synonym for selfishness in China.” And that “individualism’ have had negative connotations in my [Shen] mind.” These barriers that were set up by the Chinese ideology, made it hard for Shen to be his true self. While writing, the challenge for Shen was to abandon his Chinese ideologies and adopt an English identity to properly express himself.

Our search to find out who we are is fuelled by a need to find a place in the world where we belong. Through exploration and analysis of the novel Romulus my Father by Raimond Gaita, the picture book Mirror by Jeannie Baker and the animated film Mary and Max my perceptions of belonging have been enhanced and broadened.

Notions of belonging in Romulus My Father, a memoir by Raimond Gaita are conveyed through the texts thoughtful and reflective tone.
