If you read a lot of Chinese literature, there has always been very strong women figures - warriors, swordswomen - who defended honor and loyalty with the men. So, it's not new to our culture - it's always been very much a part of it. It's good that now the Western audience would have a different image of the Chinese women.

Chinese culture has a lot of virtues that are tremendously valuable to not only us as Asian-Americans, but also the world in general.

I'm very curious to witness the historic transformation of Chinese women.

In China, we don't consider someone truly beautiful until we have known them for a long time, and we know what's underneath the skin.

I am an American, steeped in American values. But I know on an emotional level what it means to be of the Chinese culture.

The Chinese culture belongs not only to the Chinese but also to the whole world.

Even though I'm very Westernized as an individual and very Canadian, I guess I've lost some of my Chinese culture.

I'm slowly feeling more Chinese and feel I should be more proud of being Chinese and appreciate where I've come from.

Australia has a thing where apparently it's fine for me to dress up as an Asian woman. No one has questioned that.

I think because of their terrible past, particularly this century, the Chinese have come to accept cruelty more than many other people, which is something I feel very unhappy about.
