I was brought to the United States at a young age with my mother hoping to reunite with my father who had left China years earlier to pursue his vision of the “American dream”. Like many immigrant parents, my father recognized early on that he would have the chance to enjoy the “dream” that he worked so hard and sacrificed so much for. My parents abandoned their personal aspirations to ensure that both my brother and I would be able to live a life filled with opportunities that they could never…

Any person no matter who they were had the chance of being convicted as anti-revolutionary and carted off to a re-education camps. The prospect of yourself or someone you love being sent…

American Born Chinese and stereotypes “Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.” I believe this quote by Margaret Mead is very accurate and is something that all parents, teachers and adults should think about. “A stereotype is used to categorize a group of people. People don 't understand that type of person, so they put them into classifications, thinking that everyone who is that needs to be like that, or anyone who acts like their classifications is one.” (Dictionary.com).…

1.) Levendary Café entered the Chinese market, hitting the ground running with Louis Chen running the show. Chen had a very ambitious attitude and succeeded in opening 23 new Chinese locations in a very short period of time. However, by Chen focusing more on obtaining the highest amount of profits, he did unfortunately sacrifice the image of the Levendary franchise. Before entering this market, research was conducted and it appeared that several other American franchises succeeded due to China’s…
