Kingston tells the story of Ts’ai Yen, a poetess captured and made to live with barbarians. Towards the end of the tale, Kingston tells of a song Ts’ai Yen sings: “Her words seemed to be Chinese, but the barbarians understood their sadness and anger…her children did not laugh, but eventually sang along” (209).
After all of this, China still did not industrialize until the 1960’s. In the early 16th century, China had largely isolated itself from the outside world. But it still remained a large exporter of many goods, such as tea, silk, cotton, ore, and porcelain as it had been for centuries.

However, when I finally came to dispel my fears I discovered none of this. The congregation is incredibly welcoming. Chung Mei Temple is a practicing Mahayana branch of Buddhism. Grand Master Hsing Yun who first established the temple has ancestry in Taiwan and thus the ritual is carried out in Chinese and so English translation was provided. A woman helped my sister and I follow along with the chants, a man later translated a nun’s discussion of a documentary we watched, and, in addition, another woman bought us some sandwiches and fruit tea, which I must say was delicious, in the Tea Room.
Unlke Yunior, she did not grow up in another country. Her struggle deals with finding an identity as a Chinese- American. Unlike the Domincan culture, which seems to be outspoken and open, the Chinese seem to encourage silence and secrets. The novel begins with Kingston’s mother saying, “You must not tell anyone,” before sharing the story with her daughter. - Silence is encouraged in their culture, allowing Kingston to develop into a shy, awkward girl with trouble adjusting.
By losing the language, I stopped celebrating most of the holidays and events that I’ve celebrated in the past when I was only speaking Chinese. I stopped eating some traditional Chinese food because I’ve gotten used to eating the American food. I also stopped trying to keep in touch with my relatives and friends in China because of the communication issue. They couldn’t speak English, and I was no longer comfortable with speaking Chinese. Besides, we didn’t have anything in common that we could talk about, because we don’t share the same kind of lifestyles anymore.

In Christine Leong’s short essay “Being a Chink”, she writes about how her own father who is Chinese, had written the derogatory term for a person of Chinese descent. However, the racial relations between Asians and white Americans do not appear negative probably because we don’t see Asians being highlighted on the six o’clock
Smoking Everywhere is a very cheap company which manufactures products in China, and according to the E-cig Advanced website, DEG is typically found within many shabby Chinese companies. Even then, the Smoking Everywhere company was shut down due to free trial scams and misleading labels for “no nicotine cartridges”, and the FDA did not even compare these statistics to the these devices are all about, analog cigarettes. In my personal opinion, the FDA should test more than two electronic cigarette companies for more accurate results, and test much higher quality companies that are true to their work so that the entire industry is not blamed for enormous mistakes made by a sleazy company trying to make a quick
