An Analysis on the Cultural Inheritance of Overseas Chinese Children - Focusing on the New Generation of Overseas Chinese in South Korea -

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The young generation plays an essential role in the inheritance of Chinese culture. The children living abroad are also vital for the country. Performing interviews and other forms of investigation, targeting young new generations of Korean-Chinese and Chineses living overseas, it has been explored the growth progress of these group of people in the environment of ‘Intercultural friction’.
The paper discusses languages acquisition and values formation in the environment where parental culture and mainstream social culture overlap. The writer emphasizes that the keys for newborn overseas Chinese to reconcile Chinese culture and the culture of the host country are the education from their Chinese family and attention of their parents. While receiving education from their parents, the children of overseas Chinese learn from the teachings of the host country’s culture. They should devote to accept multiple cultures and make Chinese culture more compatible with ‘different cultures’, and gradually form a more diverse and broader world vision.
