american chinese中文的八卦，Yahoo名人娛樂都在討論

我是馬來西亞人。一百年前祖先來自海南島。我祖先的國籍是“中華民國”。而我本身，則是土生土長的馬來西亞人，用的是馬來西亞護照+馬來西亞身份證，“祖國”是馬來西亞，國語是馬來語。

我們不是“華僑”，因為祖先是在馬來西亞還沒有獨立之前就來到這裡，然後再跟其他種族一起創立了這個國家。我並沒有“僑居”在別人的國家，所以你可以稱我是大馬華裔或華人，或者直接說我是馬來西亞人最好。

在用英語回答外國朋友的時候我不會說我是 “Chinese”，因為在英語那是“中國人”的意思，但我不是，我不想讓他們誤會，所以我只會說 I'm Malaysian。

就好像英國人當初坐船去到美國落地生根，而現在他們的後代只會說 “I'm American”，沒有人會說 “I'm British” 或者 “I'm English”。因為正常人都是以客觀的“國籍身份”來定義自己。

我會聽說讀寫中文，是因為我在馬來西亞選擇的學校和課程有教中文，民間也有在廣泛使用。我會說華語（普通話）跟我是什麼種族一點關係都沒有。華語（普通話）來自中國大陸北方，我的母語是海南話，來自南方，所以華語不能算是我母語。我是因為在馬來西亞有機會選擇和學習多一種語言，如今才能夠開口說。這點要感謝馬來西亞。

語言是不分國籍的，是跨越種族和國家的東西，你學了就是屬於你的。英國人不會去幹美國人或澳洲人說 “如果你不承認自己是英國人請不要使用英語!” 這種白癡的言論。。。

以上的言論，我知道很多馬來西亞的華裔朋友是不認同的，但很抱歉那是客觀的事實。如果你依然認為大家應該要用“祖先”或 “血統”來定義自己的身份的話，那我會告訴你我是 “非洲人”，因為人類起源於非洲。你要繼續追溯人類歷史的話，那我是魚。又或者你要說我血統來自三葉蟲或單細胞也可以。。。

「愛台灣，我的選擇」系列第三發💞

💟「我在大學選修華語時，有一本課本就叫做「今日台灣」，但我第一次真正到台灣是來上美國國務院的華語課程。大家都喜歡來台灣學華語，但我想要看得更多，做得更多，所以我後來選擇派駐台灣，擔任經濟組的副組長。經濟組的工作著重於建立美台的經濟關係，這個經濟關係涵蓋各種正在改變世界未來樣貌的領域。我們致力於公衛、資安、數位經濟等議題，並探究如何在印太區域及更廣泛的區域，確保安全的技術，並建立安全的供應鏈。台灣人才輩出，讓我深受啟發，台灣人民就是台灣最大的財富；人才對經濟也非常重要，經濟要能蓬勃發展需要有才華、有創意的人才，而台灣就有這樣的人力資源。我曾經在投資銀行、國際開發和財金等產業工作過，所以我很希望能以我對金融業發展的觀察，協助台灣和美國的新創公司獲得創投資金，進而改變後代與數位科技互動的模式。除了專業上的興趣之外，我也熱愛大自然，我認為人類應該要與大自然有所連結，而台灣就有這樣的自然環境。我一直以來都很想觀察野鳥，但我早上常常爬不起來，可是在台灣就不必早起了，因為每天都有各式各樣美麗的鳥兒飛到我陽明山上家裡的後院！」

Why I Chose Taiwan #3

💟"When I started studying Chinese as an undergrad, we had a whole book on Taiwan Today. The first time I actually came to Taiwan was studying Chinese with the State Department. Everybody loves coming here for language, but I wanted to see and do more. That’s what brought me back this time around, as the Deputy Director of the Economic Section. We focus on building up the U.S.-Taiwan economic relationship, which spans across so many different areas that I think are changing the future shape of the world. We are focused on health, cyber issues, digital economy, how do we ensure that technologies are secure, how do we build secure supply chains throughout the Indo-Pacific, and more. Taiwan has such talented people, and so that really inspires me. Taiwan’s people are its greatest asset. For the economy, you really need talented, creative people, and they are here in Taiwan. I have a very eclectic background in investment banking, international development, finance, and so how do I tap into the way I’ve seen financial industries develop to help Taiwan and the U.S. now get venture capital funding for future startups that are really going to change the way that our kids interact with the digital world? Aside from my professional interest in Taiwan, I love nature, I think it’s really important that humans have a connection with nature, and Taiwan provides that. I’ve always wanted to be a bird-watcher but I’m not good at waking up early in the morning to go out looking for birds. But here I don’t need to, because there are always all different kinds of beautiful birds that come to my own back yard in Yangmingshan!"

The other day I went into a bunch of typical American Chinese takeout restaurants as an ordinary but kinda clueless white guy and ordered food in fluent Chinese (Mandarin, Cantonese, and Fuzhounese). Most American Chinese takeout restaurants like this are run by people from China’s Fujian province, so it was fun for them to hear me speak their native but fairly rare language of Fuzhounese!

It was a really fun prank and social experiment to see Chinese people’s reactions — both the waiters and the other patrons in these NYC Chinatown restaurants were totally shocked! Thanks everyone for supporting me on my language learning journey!!!

We hit the streets of New York City to ask random strangers, many of whom had never heard of BTS or K-pop before, to pick who they thought was the most handsome or cutest BTS member from a set of photographs. Whether you’re a fan of Kim Nam-joon (RM, formerly Rap Monster), Kim Seokjin (Jin), Jung Ho-soek (J-Hope), Min Yoon-gi (Suga), Park Ji-min (Jimin), Kim Tae-hyung (V), or Jeon Jung-kook (Jungkook), let us know what you love about them in the comments below!

As I mentioned in the video, this is more intended as a fun examination of Korean and American beauty standards — we’re definitely not trying to say one is more handsome than the other, and of course they’re all super multitalented (whether in rapping, singing, or dancing) which a photograph can never convey! Hope you enjoy the video!

Remember, CAPTIONS AVAILABLE in English, Korean (한국어), Chinese (中文), and Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia)!
