Welcome to my blog for Canadian Literature.<\/p>\n<p>I am a third year student majoring in English and minoring in Spanish at UBC Okanagan. Though being a Canadian, I had lived all my life in Hong Kong till I came to Canada to pursue my university education. Therefore, knowing almost nothing about Canadian and First Nation history, I am very interested in exploring and building my own Canadian identity through studying Canadian Literature.<\/p>\n<p>I have had the eagerness to know about Chinese History since I was small. I have read books of different Chinese dynasties till I watched a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jyjC0PIhCzU\">documentary<\/a>\u00a0on Chinese workers facilitating the construction of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.collectionscanada.gc.ca\/settlement\/kids\/021013-2031.3-e.html\">Canadian Pacific Railway<\/a> in the North America. Then I discovered that I have no knowledge about the history of Chinese immigrants in other countries, especially in Canada, where I am born.<\/p>\n<p>While digging into the history of Chinese immigrants in Canada, I also started to look into Canadian and Indigenous History. However, I only first came into Canadian History through <em>Bear<\/em>, a Canadian novel written by Marian Engel. The novel has first exposed me to the European influence over first nation in Canada. Realizing the importance of European intersection with First Nation in shaping the present Canadian identity, I decide to enroll this course, hoping to find out some answers through Canadian stories and literature, and understanding how the advancement in technology is engaged with different styles of storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>I hope you will enjoy and give me feedbacks on my blog entries. I am looking forward to a summer with lots of inspirations!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-6\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/engl470asummer2016\/files\/2016\/05\/c016715-300x222.jpg\" alt=\"c016715\" width=\"300\" height=\"222\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/engl470asummer2016\/files\/2016\/05\/c016715-300x222.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.ubc.ca\/engl470asummer2016\/files\/2016\/05\/c016715.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Construction of a Chinese Camp on the Canadian Pacific Railway<\/em>. 1885.
