played? Robert Qian , a Chinese Canadian, already has. Now in China, he has found
that his family like a tall tree with long roots.
Robert is just one young overseas Chinese who to visit his ancestors’
homeland, as part of the In Search of Roots summer camp program. The program by the local government of Guangdong Province. This program started in 1980, and so far has brought overseas Chinese students to China to look for their families’ roots. The young people are usually between 16 and 25 years old. Most, like Robert, can hardly any Chinese and have never been to China before.
The students mainly visit parts of Guangdong Province in southern China. During the camp, they study Chinese culture, see changes that have happened in that area, and visit interesting sights. Going to their ancestors’ village is often part of the trip.The students feel that they are part of the village, and village life. They drink from the village well, go for walks the countryside, and watch the villagers do their daily activities.
