Abstract
The present paper focuses on secondary school children from Hong Kong Chinese families living in Northern Ireland, UK, and maps out their trans-cultural experiences by examining the discursive ways in which they construct their cultural Self and cultural Other. Here Bourdieu's concept of habitus is employed in conjunction with Chinese moral values in order to understand the ethnic Chinese minority children's creative constructions of trans-cultural identity, cultural perceptions and attitudes. In conclusion, implications for culturally grounded understanding of trans-cultural experience in light of habitus are discussed.
