DONGLI HUANG

So-called “Chinatown” is not a real China but an interestingly mixed and conflicting society of the spectacle embedded within multinational cultures, which leaves the world a one-dimensional impression of China. Chinese people as a large group of immigrants, who has the same system of language, common culture and habits, also the primordial attachment, has survived in this foreign land by building their own community. However, the old model of Chinatown keeps the traditions for so long that it presents a outdated appearance while the new Asian center is adjusting to globalization. The cross-cultural interaction and transfer actually inevitably happens in this process, influence in humans, emotion, culture, environment and space.
