In the third episode, I'm going to share with you a little slice of Chinese history from the socialist planned economy era. I'll introduce you to the Work Unit (Danwei) system and the children of factory and mine. I'll explain how it's related to my own long-time struggle of cultural identity, talking about how it resulted in a generation of Chinese people with no home.
在第三集中,我想讲述一段中国社会主义计划经济时期的历史片段,向大家介绍“单位”制度和厂矿子弟,并阐释它如何与我长久的文化认同困境相连,又如何造就了一代没有家乡的中国人的故事。
