Empirical Research on the Influence of Chinese Culture from the Perspective of Country Differences: a Case Study of the Chinese Education of Contemporary Overseas Chinese in Indonesia

Chinese education is the core of nationality shaping for overseas Chinese, and its ultimate purpose is not to be used as a tool of communication, but to acquire cultural identity at a deeper level. Contemporary Chinese community in Indonesia has gone beyond the simple desire of making a living as the early immigrants did, nor does it dream of returning to homeland when old. Facing their unique fate of living there as immigrants, those Chinese people have begun to seek emotional expression and identity of social status by keeping a subtle balance between a sense of belonging and respect.
