population is Chinese. This area has started to look like china town because of so many Chinese stores that has opened in recent years.
Chinese people have very unique culture and celebration. They have their own custom and traditions which make them different from many other people around the world. People of this area still celebrate their own events including Chinese New Year. Chinese people practice Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism.
This growing community is also prone to many challenges. One of the biggest challenges they have is language barrier. As compared to other communities, Most of the Chinese people cannot speak Chinese. in order to know the reason I asked this question to many Chinese people. Chung, 28 years old, a grocery store worker said “In china we don’t have English language education except some big institutes. We prefer our own language in our country and people also don’t like to learn English. Because of this, when we come here, we face many problem regarding communication.”
Most of the people even after coming here don’t like to speak English. Because of this kind of behavior children find it more difficult to communicate. They have to speak and learn English at school but when they come home they cannot speak even a single word of English because of parents’ restriction. However, with the passage of time people have learned the importance of the English language.

...na is becoming advanced. People who come here also work so hard and this is the key that they settle more easily in this city. Chinese women work shoulder by shoulder with their men and help to support their family (Which is not the case among Pakistani community). I met with couple Mr. and Mrs. Wang who owned a small family business. Mr. wang told me that he is very happy with his wife who always help him in his business and always stay by his side when he is having a hard time.
Just like other communities Chinese community also have good and bad aspects of their culture. The good aspect that I found was they are a very hard working nation and the bad aspect that I found was lack of communication because of language barrier. And this barrier can be removed just by getting education which I see that Chinese community is already on the track of learning English.
