- "Erm..."
I interviewed students at The Glasgow Chinese School, based in Stow College in Glasgow's Chinatown. I was interested in exploring how the children perceived themselves and dealt with issues of identity and belonging.
Many of the children are from racially mixed marriages, while others are second or third generation Chinese raised in Glasgow, dealing with a duality of a distinct Chinese and Scottish cultural backgrounds.
I developed this exploration through a short film called 'The British Chinese' that addresses these issues.

The film empowers two manchester-born brothers to describe their own family and surroundings using the filn medium. Through their videotapes and encounters with the local people, we get a glimpse of what it means to grow as a British Born Chinese today. This project is a cooperation with the Granada Center of Visual Anthropology at Manchester University.

'British Chinese Heritage Project | Chinese Lives in Birmingham' to provide a snapshot in time for the Library of Birmingham
• Chinese Community Centre Birmingham has produced a 'British Chinese Heritage Project | Chinese Lives in Birmingham' over the last 15 months, involving 36 Birmingham residents.
• Features pillars of Birmingham Chinese Community including; Mr Woon Wing Yip OBE and Professor Rayson Huang CBE.
• Steering group includes; Library of Birmingham, University of Birmingham, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham City Council and Southside BID.
• Awarded grant of £35,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).
The "British Chinese Heritage Project | Chinese Lives in Birmingham" was created to capture the hidden histories of Birmingham's Chinese community.
The project was awarded a grant of £35,600 from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) in April 2013 and is expected to be completed in June 2014.
There are approximately 20,000 ethnic Chinese living in Birmingham and the surrounding areas - this project helps to provide a valuable snapshot of their lives through individual stories and memories to preserve for future generations.
The British Chinese community is thought to be one of the oldest Chinese communities in Western Europe, with the first Chinese having come from the ports of Tianjin and Shanghai in the early 19th century. Later on in the 20th century, the majority of net migration came from former British colonies such as Hong Kong and Malaysia.
Large Chinese communities are found in many major UK cities including; London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Sheffield, Nottingham, Belfast and Aberdeen.
The British Chinese community has a varied landscape - comprising of many sub-groups, such; Hong Kong Chinese, Malaysian-Chinese, Vietnamese- Chinese, Taiwanese- Chinese and Mainland Chinese. Cantonese (Yue Chinese) is the most popular spoken dialect in the UK, followed by Mandarin Chinese and Hakka Chinese. The term 'Chinese' can refer to both Cantonese Chinese and Mainland Chinese; those born in the UK are known as British-born Chinese (BBCs).
Anna Yim, CEO of Chinese Community Centre Birmingham said; "We are delighted to be able to create this historical project that looks at the lives of individual migrants and British Chinese, as well as the development of the Chinese community in Birmingham - an integral part of the city's history over the last half-century or so.
The project, featuring likes of Mr Woon Wing Yip OBE and Professor Rayson Huang CBE (former Vice-Chancellor of the University of Hong Kong) has recorded the development of the Chinese community in Birmingham through different life stories. A permanent archive will be created which will be kept in the Library of Birmingham."
The output will include; a blog (http://chineselivesinbirmingham.com), a booklet, as well as recordings of interviews and focus groups for the Library of Birmingham archives department.
A first of its type in the West Midlands, the project will culminate with a free, pop-up exhibition for the public at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, between 17 May -8 June 2014.
In the run up to the pop-up exhibition, CCC-B are calling out to members of the public to submit their photos and videos of their Birmingham "Chinatown memories" and help piece together six decades of the community's history in the city. The best of these will be displayed alongside the exhibition at The Barber Institute and archived with the project in the Library of Birmingham.

British Chinese
British Chinese (also known as Chinese British, Chinese Britons) (Chinese: trad. 英國華僑, simp. 英国华侨, Yīngguó Huáqiáo) are people of Chinese – particularly Han Chinese – ancestry who reside in the United Kingdom, constituting the second or third largest group of overseas Chinese in Europe apart from the Chinese diaspora in France and the overseas Chinese community in Russia. The British Chinese community is thought to be the oldest Chinese community in Western Europe, with the first Chinese having come from the ports of Tianjin and Shanghai in the early 19th century to settle in port cities such as Liverpool. They opened restaurants on the ports.
Most British Chinese are descended from people who were themselves overseas Chinese when they came to Britain. Most are from former British colonies, such as Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Mauritius. People from mainland China and Taiwan and their descendants constitute a relatively minor proportion of the British Chinese community. Chinese communities are found in many major cities including London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Manchester, Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Cardiff, Sheffield, Nottingham, Belfast, and Aberdeen.

Eat The Rich
(John Fiddler)
Oh authority stinks or so you think, then you walk along
You just won't budge, you don't wanna judge what's right from wrong
And many a man has lost his way when he's found his dough
They don't think about rules but they make themselves fools when they live on
snow
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Now some are bound for glory, and some are bound to lose
Some are bound in leather, and some are bound to blow their fuse
Now all you young people, don't you forget where it's leadin' to
Don't you fix with a steeple, you get no respect outta sniffin' glue
There ain't no place that you can run to
If the battle-field is just a mirror image of you
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Some folk stands with their backs to the wall
They look the same as the wall, that's all
They say the bricks are tryin' to look like them
And to tell 'em apart you look again and again
And again and again and again and again and again
Eat the rich, eat the rich
Just take a big bite
