Guangzhou, the capital of Guangdong province in South China, was the place I lived and grew in my early life. It is a lively and amazing city. When I was young, I had never thought of leaving this energetic city.
However, life is always changing and unpredictable. It was the year when I was ten. I was told that I would move out of the city.
On that day, I was just back from school. My parents were sitting and discussing in the living room. Suddenly, they stopped and their faces turned solemn as I walked closer to them. My mother took my hand in her and led me to sit near her. She said “Dear, there is something we have to tell you.” What is that? It was the first question that came across my mind but I did not speak it out. “Well, we are going to move to Hong Kong.” My mother added.
The day after, we started to pack and to get ready for move. …show more content…

They want to enhance the quality of life of the family. They think of this not because their lives and their living standards in Guangzhou is bad and low, but they want something better.

With comparison, Hong Kong seems to be more liveable. It can provide superior quality of life which is my parents

  • Gentrification In Chinatown

    1145 Words  | 5 Pages

    Between its close proximity to Los Angeles Chinatown, the preservation of Chinese language and culture, and the affordable rents, the San Gabriel Valley became an economically and culturally viable option for lower-income immigrants in Los Angeles. As a result, Los Angeles Chinatown had numerous vacancies in housing and business. As Chinese residents left Chinatown, struggling business owners decided to open restaurants in the San Gabriel Valley instead (Gold 2015). Due to the numerous vacancies, newer American, fusion, and pan-Asian restaurants situated themselves in Chinatown (Trinh 2017). Although some could argue that the newer restaurants are not competing against older Chinese institutions, the presence of non-Chinese restaurants does have an impact on the cultural essence of Chinatown.
