The essential terminology for this topic is explained at the beginning of the work. The following chapters introduce the period of Chinese arrivals and furthermore deal with the adaptation of the Chinese in the new society and the new life. This work is based on experience of Chinese families, reports of Chinese in Britain and extracts from Timothy Mo's novel Sour Sweet.
