What are these nations excellent at?
when you think of Germany,you associiate them with excellent engineering skiils,what about the British. its their systematic administrative processes that enabled them to rule their vast far flung colonies.the French and italians are renownned for artistic flair in music,painting,fashion n design,architecture and culinary skills.as for the americans,they are good with military development,cutting edge technology,space. exploration and the entertainment industries.
when it comes to innovative pop culture like anime,cosplays,movies,skin care and fashion,south korea and japan take the lead.China is excel at infrastructure building of dams n bridges ,tech development of drones,robots,green energy projects,nev,space exploration ,high speed railways n military development but lags behind south korea and japan in innovative pop culture and artistic vision.
in terms of food,japan and china tops in asia and globally too.

Home cooked meal
today i used fermented shrimp paste a Cantonese sauce made in hong kong to cook steamed pork belly.the shrimp paste is overpowering pungent n salty so it is taste terrfic to cantonese eaters but smelly n stinky to outsiders.even the greedy cat came to lick the jar of stinky shrimp paste.i only added slivers of ginger,sugar n sesame oil to steam pork belly with the greyish blob of shrimp paste.ate stir fried lettuce with it.a culinary heritage that reminds me of family meals

Family bond n kinship ties
As thirdgeneration kids of migrant parents born in China,i dont feel nostalgia recalling my ancestral roots
.Why do migrants of Asian diaspora feel sentiments when recalling family.bonds n kinship tie?
i speak ancestral language,follow chinese lifestyle,festival and adopt cultural values but i dont feel strong attachments to my unseen and unknown relatives from China
is it cómmon for third generation
migrants to assimilate into country of birth?how do american born Chinese feel?
do they feel alienated from their ancestral roots?
after watching the teochew movie dear you😄i umderstand the personal bónd of sttachment between a migrant worker to hisfamily in china but i admire his
strong value of endurance and perseverance in era of hardship.i think strong
kinship.bomd to help fellowmen is lauded as is contribution to building schóols and investing. in educatiom of youth.
a good story telling plot.
