Abstract
This article takes the reader on a personal journey from a small rural village in China during the Cultural Revolution to a modern university in America. The author shares her struggles in adapting to a new lifestyle in China as well as her rough experiences as a Chinese immigrant in the United States. She describes her profound commitment to educate others and change lives profoundly and forever. As she describes her life, the reader is given the opportunity to see China from within and the United States from without, as viewed by an immigrant. China is described not a monolithic entity, but as a country of many peoples with many identities. She argues based on her own experience of multiple identities that immigrants possess a new cultural capital that permits them to survive, succeed academic success and become culturally empowered.
