    I remember watching a video somewhere that touched upon this. IIRC, whenever a Chinese immigrant came to a city in the United States with a large Chinese population, such as San Francisco, they would seek out people from their hometown and would often be directed to benevolent societies. These societies help provide means for the immigrant to start looking after themselves, by offering different professions folks can jump into. Often times that would include providing recipes for dishes they could fix up at restaurants.

    I think the video was a documentary about General Tso’s chicken.

  • I’m about 35 now. I grew up in America, but my family is from the southern Mainland. My mother too was a tiger mom while growing up, but my father was absent. I got to date in high school, while against my mother’s wishes, but at my age, I don’t really count that as seriously dating. In my college years. I had one major girl friend for about 3.5 years. When I left college, we had a horrible break up. I thought I found the person I wanted, but she definitely was not the right one for me. Those 3.5 years was almost like a dream until I woke up to world around me.

    If you are looking for any advice, I would look for what you find important in yourself and want out of someone you are with. Have fun while you can, but don’t fall into a space where you are merely complacent.
