History class was my least favorite subject, but my dad said that I'd get more interested as I got older. I think he's right. Now that I've experienced more and have seen more, I'm curious about what happened and why did it happen.
In the past fifteen years so, I've noticed a lot of changes every time I visited my family home in San Francisco. If we're talking new Chinese restaurants - they're mostly Sichuan or Chongqing style. There are more old school chaa chan tengs and HK style bakeries closing than opening. There are also new modern and Asian-American-influenced restaurants and bakeries opened by American-born kids of Chinese immigrants.
There have been shifts in language and culture. A lot of the Gen Z immigrants speak Mandarin. The oldest Chinese immigrants speak Hoisanwa. The Millenial, Gen X, and Baby Boomer immigrants mostly speak Cantonese. This is just what I've noticed. At least in the San Francisco area.
