As a new immigrant (移民) in Australia, I sometimes find it hard to get into the local culture.
After reading the book Unpolished Gem (《未经雕琢的宝石》) by Australian writer Alice
Pung, I found I am not alone. Pung had the same story as me.
The story is set in Melbourne. Pung's parents are from Cambodia. They have lived in Australia for
years. But Pung still has difficulties understanding both cultures.
One is the white Australian culture she lives in. The other is her family's traditional Asian values (价值观). For example, her parents tell her, "You are going to be a lawyer and marry a doctor".
