Three Generations of Gurkhas (Part 2)

How do you preserve your own culture when you are in a foreign country? Many of the second generation Nepalese go dancing in country parks, wearing their national costumes, whereas some songwriters find inspirations in their lives in Hong Kong to write children songs to teach Nepalese children their mother tongue. Dev teaches in a primary school, in which over half of the students are Nepalese. The school has arranged for Dev to teach them their own mother tongue. He has discovered that many students are facing problems in recognizing their identity. Are they Hong Kongers? Or are they Nepalese? Having grown up here, Salina speaks fluent Cantonese. After school she does henna hand paintings for others. When she makes an appointment with a Chinese customer, she always asks if she minds that she is Nepalese. But now Salina could tell people confidently that she is a Hong Kong Nepalese.
