It's also close to everybody's life experience. Sometimes you hate, sometimes you love, but you have to keep going no matter what, so.

Okay, umm, what does Asian American mean to you?

{SPEAKER name="Zhang Chun Hong"}
I see myself as a new Chinese living in America. I umm was born - raised in China came here made my home and I feel very comfortable living here. I don't see myself as an American. I see myself as a Chinese woman, artist, living in America, and people have been treated me very nice here, and I quite confident about who I am, and I think my work already speak for-for who I am as a Chinese artist. Of course, you can still see the Asian art aesthetics within in my work but in a very subtle implication. I want my work to have broader audience but also in a universal theme. So when people come to see my work, no matter they knows the asian cultural background or whether they know me or not, they can still get something from my work.
