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?

Lychee feí zi xiao or the concubine smiles

i love the fresh lychee imported from China i cant resist the sweet juicy flesh and small seed of fei zi xiao with jade green and red skin.i remembered when in the late 1980s when i visited Guangdong village of xiyap yunpeng county,my relatives bought lo mai chee or glutinous rice lychee that had deep red skin,juicy flesh and small seed. now with cold storage logistics supply chain,i get to feast on juicy lychees in summer no wonder the chinese emperor pampered his concubine yang gui fei so that he ordered couriers to send her favourite lychee up north to Beijing for her to savour her craving.thats why its name is fei zi xiao.noe with train and canal links established between southeastasia and south china the chinese can enjoy durians while we feast on lychees n mandarin oranges.
