Being Chinese

10 years ago, race and religion was a big matter. It forces people out of relationships.

10 years today, race and religion is still a big matter. It forces people to make tough choices.

Aren't we all humans the same? My Nepalese friend told me - We are all the same race human being and religion does not matter. 

To me, everyone is the same. We have red blood. We have the same features. We speak languages. No one is superior than the other. Religion is a belief. We share beliefs with one another. We learn another's beliefs. If another belief differs from another, then we learn to give and take. Why is that so difficult? 

I am a Chinese. But I am still learning my own culture.

I have features of a girl from the China Mainland. But I am still learning the Mandarin Language everyday.

I am a Chinese. But sometimes I forget I am one.

I have features of a girl from the China Mainland. But I speak English like it's my mother tongue.

I am a Chinese. But I know the cultures of the Malays and the Indians. 

I have features of a girl from the China Mainland. But I can't master my own dialect.

I am a Chinese. But it doesn't mean I should be categorised as one.

I have features of a girl from the China Mainland. But it doesn't mean I am different from you.

The heart cringes at this matter each time.
