Features: The second-generation immigrants of various ethnic groups in the United States each have their own way of life. If one can grasp the fundamental starting point of "fitting in," combined with the wisdom of their respective cultural traditions, and summarize the successes and lessons learned from living abroad, it will hold greater significance for others. This book may not claim to be one of the windows to understanding the side of American society and its diverse educational aspects. However, if it can compile some insights from raising second-generation immigrant children in a way that "fits in," and gather valuable lessons like picking mulberry leaves, it will help people better raise their children and live more happily by taking the strengths and learning from their weaknesses. That would be enough. Of course, if one can also derive some insights into the characteristics of Sino-Western cultural education and the laws of human civilization development, that would be even better. After all, this is just a small piece of the scattered remnants that modern Chinese Americans may encounter during the historical process of becoming U.S. citizens.
