Written and directed by Luke Mines, this episode of the Hard Hat Show looks at three Chinese 20 somethings who were born in Mainland China but went abroad at a young age. They have since returned and now live in Beijing where we interviewed them about how it feels to be back home.

I really liked what …
I really liked what was said about “not wearing a mask”. It helps nowadays to think of myself as a “drifter” - still a foreigner wherever I go, yet somehow free of the mental images signified by “immigrant”. I’m no different than the typical college exchange student, other than the fact that I was 6 at the time instead of 18.

this video has some dodgy editing her comments have been taken as chinese culture is boring by somebody and american culture is boring by another 0.0. The latter is is what she said of course, but a little hard to get from the dodgy editing.

him hiding in a …
him hiding in a tree doesn’t constitute a misery childhood for on that was his first day at an american school and it is plainly stated he had a very good childhood on the beach and would like his children to have a similar childhood. He feels like an outsider because of trolls/people like you with comments like banana lady and fat guy and your own ignorance shining through every orofice it’s no wonder they feel misunderstood by their own race.

She wasn’t fed up with China, she was fed up with America. It wasn’t too clear because of the editing style (the subject was often omitted).

that lovely …
that lovely American-Chinese lady seems she was fed up with China, because of what…?
she is very westernized and she should live in America.
I am Chinese and I love China, I can spend 20 years in another foreign coutry; but i can always go back China and know, I will never be an “outsaider” again.

While I don’t …
While I don’t begrudge them, I just wished I had gotten a more patient and kind reaction. But who am I kidding? We’re were 13 back then and neither of us had much tact.

How do you like …
How do you like this story:
When I was 13, some classmates were discussing the current election. Stupidly, I asked what their dads would vote for and got a harsh rebuff.
I wasn’t even interested in their families’ political view, but rather curious about the choice of parties.
My family never talked about politics, since my parents never had the opportunity to vote.
In retrospect, it was a very inapproriate question of a clueless 13 year-old immigrant.

maybe she was …
maybe she was looking for a more personal answer than the usual alienating “Don’t they eat xxx in China?” or “Ching Chong” we get all the time.
