Sino American Reunion

Introduction

Our society was founded in early 2018 by three Sino Americans/Canadians resid­ing in China — Jerry Feng (冯凡) who is no longer involved, Roger Hsieh (谢同文), and Yuan Xun (辕询) — to provide assis­tance to those Chinese descen­dants desirous of return­ing to their Home­land. Our material is largely aimed at second-generation American cit­i­zens of Chinese her­itage. Our mem­ber­ship is largely com­posed of Sino American pro­fes­sion­als — engi­neers, lawyers, hedge-fund man­agers, university-instructors, and such — who came to feel, to some extent, dis­sat­is­fied with their American/Canadian upbring­ing and career and who decided that the best course of action was to reverse their par­ents' decision to immi­grate, espe­cially after having wit­nessed, over the years, increas­ing evi­dence of haz­ardous and prej­u­di­cial social con­di­tions. We also wish to extend our sym­pathies to those who, as chil­dren, had suf­fered abuse at the hands of their immi­grant parents, an occur­rence which, it gives us pause to say, has been fairly wide­spread during these recent decades. Con­trary to the mis­con­cep­tions spread by the American media, and by the American edu­ca­tional esta­blish­ment, the pro­fu­sion of abuse which was inflicted upon young Sino Americans has pri­mar­ily been an immi­grant phe­nomenon irreflec­tive of the way in which fam­i­lies oper­ate back in China. It may be slightly late for us, on account of our vari­ant child­hoods, to be viewed as fully native mem­bers of Chinese society, but we are pleased to enjoy a res­pite from fur­ther racial and cul­tural com­pli­ca­tions, and to pro­vide a health­ful, non-immigrant upbring­ing for our des­cen­dants. All this being said, the mem­bers of Sino American Reunion are pleased to strive for increased global under­stand­ing, dimin­ished racial prej­u­dice, and empha­sis upon the ethical qual­i­ties of human­kind, as opposed to spurn­ing people based on their race or back­ground. We are moti­vated in our quest to fix things by the ardent dif­fi­cul­ties of those of our demo­graphic who came before us. Lastly, we do invite you to join our move­ment as well.

Steering Committee

David Huang (黄嘉辉) is a cor­po­rate man­ager and software-technician with expe­ri­ence in both the agricultural- and aerospace-industries. He was born in Illinois to par­ents from the pro­vince of Guang­dong, and became keenly aware of the issues facing the Sino American demo­graphic while serv­ing as the man­ager of his par­ents' res­tau­rant. Mr Huang has a BS in Tech­ni­cal Sys­tems Man­age­ment from the Uni­ver­sity of Illinois, and an MBA from the same school. Having studied the Chinese as well as Latin clas­sics during his teenage-years, one of his endur­ing areas of interest con­cerns the inter­sec­tion and recon­cil­i­a­tion of clas­sical piety and modern tech­no­cratic planning. As a member of SAR, he wel­comes your ideas con­cern­ing repa­tri­a­tion.
Zhao Xian (赵宪) is a mar­tial artist and scholar of Chinese dynas­tic his­tory who was born and raised in the Netherlands. Early in his life he was con­fronted with cer­tain ques­tions relat­ing to iden­tity and belong­ing, which have led him to engage in the con­tin­ual explo­ration and research­ing of what it truly means to be Chinese. Over the last two years he has pro­duced a series of detailed his­tor­i­cal essays regard­ing the events of the late Qing dynasty. Mr Zhao has a bachelor's degree in English Lan­guage and Cul­ture and a master's degree in Asian Stud­ies, both from Leiden Uni­ver­sity.
Patrick Lam (林观徳) is a business-owner spe­cial­iz­ing in culi­nary logis­tics and East Asian imports. Born in Hawaii to par­ents from the city of Zhong­shan, he has a keen under­stand­ing of what ethnic East Asians are capa­ble of, when they are freed from such social stric­tures as have been unfor­tu­nately wide­spread within the contiguous United States. Mr Lam has been a life­long prac­ti­tioner of mar­tial arts, and has had an endur­ing inter­est in the preser­va­tion of tra­di­tional Chinese cul­ture, espe­cially in light of the grow­ing issues faced by the Dias­pora.
Henry You (游家玮) is an under­grad­u­ate student of Polit­i­cal Sci­ence at CSU North­ridge who is prepar­ing to advance to law-school. Being a par­tial Chinese des­cen­dant, he has dis­co­vered a deep affin­ity for native Chinese cul­ture, and looks for­ward to play­ing a role in the future with res­pect to bilat­eral eco­nomic coop­er­a­tion between China and the United States. Having per­son­ally stud­ied modern phi­los­o­phy, soci­ol­ogy, and business-law, he is sym­pa­thetic to the issues which are presently faced by Sino Americans, and also by Chinese cit­i­zens resid­ing abroad. He hopes to acquire more skills and expe­ri­ence for the pur­pose of some­day fur­ther­ing the world­wide inter­ests of the ethnic Chinese.
